Ok, so while I play I seem to recieve a lot of tells from many random players consisting of asking for good pvp builds, mostly I am asked for 1on1 duel builds.
Of course every build has a weakness to another build although at the moment since i13 defence is the uber thing for pvp right now.
Here are a list of some great pvp builds for the Blue Side
Enjoy
Shield/SS Tanks:
I personally was on mids for a long period of time, I had created a build for Shield/SS Tanks to get 30% Melee Defence and 35% Ranged Defence, in addition also it would add up to approximately 2800hp with accolades, and even higher if you get the right set bonuses. Shield defence would also be good for zone pvp and other team duels.
Ice/SS Tanks
Ice Tanks are probably the best thing going around at the moment, I can get even higher defence with ice rather than shield defence. Ice has a two or three defence toggles, a lot of nice resistances, some attack rate and speed debuffs, a click power draining endurance and defence from enemies, a self heal, a minor damaging pbaoe toggle, a toggle de-creasing damage from foes. So they obviously have a variety of resistances, although it has no resistance to psionic but hardly any defence sets have much resistance to psionic. Also it has very little resistance to fire and there are quite a lot of fire scrappers now so best watch out for them. Hibernate is a panic power, if your about to die quickly use it and you will be invulnerable and your hp and end will regenerate extremely fast. So you can get plenty and plenty of defence and high hp, plenty of resistances, definately the best build going at the moment.
Fire/Ice Blasters
Ice would consist of plenty of slow effects which isnt resisted much so any melee toons just slowing them down would help a lot. Although for the powers Shiver has a large - recharge and with a large -recharge around it's bad news! Although the fire has great DoT, DoT is ideal for pvp. This build is good against some builds and some not, as shiver isnt too great at all time, but the rest of the powers are pretty much useless. If you do go for this for pvp don't take the AoE attacks as for pvp you only need single target attacks, and Inferno isnt that good for pvp, but you can still take it if your in a panic.
Fire/Kinetics
The main good thing about this is the -end powers for Kinetics and the Fire Imps doing the damage for you while you concentrate on debuffing your enemy. This build is usually defeated a lot against tanks and scrappers unless you get their end down fast so there toggles run out and then your fire imps will help finish them off. Some of the other debuffs will consift of -DMG and -Speed. And you can keep your imps alive with transfusion which decreases the recovery of end and regeneration of hp to heal your imps also healing yourself.
Spines/SR Scrappers
These can be a pain for many as now the devs have made defence uber for pvp. So SR softcapped at 45% defence will make these very nice for pvp. The reason for being spines seeing as your enemy will hardly touch you and you will be hitting them all the time. And with spines the attacks have -recharge so they are even more less likely to hit you, also with -speed so a lotta enemies will be nothing to you. And spines is least resisted due to it being toxic damage. The only difficult enemies to you in pvp would be regeneration scrappers and stalkers and tankers. The others will be pretty much easy
Fire/Regen Scrappers
Fire for the great DoT and decent damage combined with it. Regeneration still get's by well with i13. With good IO slotting and the right set bonuses plus global defence. Regeneration will last long against a lotta builds like it would last toe to toe against tanks and end draining builds wouldnt be too much of a problem for regeneration. Also fiery melee does not cost too much end anyway (I think).
Kinetic/Elec/Dark Defenders
Well obviously Kinetics for the same reason I mentioned earlier for weakening your enemies.
Electric as a secondary for defenders has -end recovery attacks and as you know electric attacks drain end either way. Aim is a excellent power for the +To Hit to make sure you do drain their end, and the +Damage as defenders do lack damage. Short Circuit is awesome to stop opponents from recovering end and it is a DoT power and it is of course very effective with other end draining powers.
Voltaic Sentiel is kinda a pet, you summon it and it will last a certain amount of time, how long it lasts I am not sure. This is useful though for melee AT's. As it will follow you any enemies coming near you will risk being damaged and it will have even more - endurance for your enemies. Now onto dark it has a toggle to resist S/L and Toxic and Negative Energy(dark attacks). It has a pbaoe click to transfer and drain end from foes around you to add onto your own end. And now Soul Drain is also a pbaoe drain and it will give you self +to hit and +DMG so you know this build can be extremely nasty!
If you don't enjoy any of these builds then there is also Invulnerability, you would have to get as much as defence as you can with IO Set bonuses. There is claws which is resisted a lot as it is lethal damage, but it costs hardly any endurance for attacks and they are quick attacks so it is still a fun and good build for pvp from personal experience. Dark Melee for -accuracy which is extremely useful in pvp just like defence. And one quick note electric is the energy damage type.
This is my first post on these forums, if there are any mistakes just correct me so others will know better for their builds
And Enjoy your pvp
