I'm "back" on CoX after a... long break. I left a few weeks before CoV came out. My only PvP experience were non-SKed messy arenas with my broken spine/invul scraper on US servers.
Anyways, I could be totally fresh on the game it wouldnt make any difference.
So I came back and managed to make my brother play with me.
We started on hero side on Union thinking it would be easyer to get a team to level up. And we did our was to 50 with our Earth/Ice tank and Kin/Sonic Defender farming ad nauseam these AE bossfarming Pyroboom lame missions.
Then we went in Recluse Victory and found... 10 heroes farming mobs and 0 vilains.
So we thought maybe we should have rolled vilains and started again Ice/Dark Corr and Grav/Psy Dom who are now 50 and 47.
And we'r getting to my point.
I did a some PvP, I understand I'm a total noob and I have no enhencement set effects. But I am getting unbelievebly detroyed by absolutly anyone who passes by.
I have to cast 3 holds to manage to hold for about 2 seconds an enemy. My frost damage is incredibly low and I cannot manage to kite tankers and scrapers with tar patch and enhenced +snare ice attacks.
So I would like to ask a few questions:
1- Is Ice/Dark corr absolute junk in PvP?
2- What strategy/build should I use to make it work? (is it even possible?)
3- Am I getting flawless killed because of my lack of IOs and skill? Or because my Corr just cannot do anything in the current status of the game?
4- I'm sick of rerolling. But would my 40 Thud/Storm MM be any better? What would be a good teamate for a Grav/Psy Dom?
5- The PvP zones are terribly empty, the arenas are about non existant. Should I go back to US server? Should I move to Defiant? Is there good hours? Good days? Events for PvP?
6- I'm trying to make an effort here. I really love the game mecanism and variety but is there any place in CoX for non-Altoholic PvP-oriented players?
