I think the very best are an ice/nrg blaster, ice/nrg tank, and a rad/psi hero side but there are lots of variations that are good at dueling which Aphex has said I have to say I enjoy playing my ice/elec even though not really min-max. My rad/sonic is great but quite different in style to a rad/psi but more suited to duels than team matches because of the rooting although better at killing non-squishies.

Villain would probably be em/regen, ice/cold, & ice/rad. A well played Em/Regen with phase is almost impossible to kill 1 vs 1, seen a guy on us has a record of 77 wins 2 defeats which is quite impressive

Edit: Forgot to mention TA trollers are nasty too

BS/SR is a really fun toon but as said is quite heavy on blue stuff but there are plenty of kins around

if someone entered 2 stone tanks and a stone brute they are not going to be winning anything and will be destroyed by ill/rads and probably any other rad troller

if you can enter 3 trollers u should be able to enter 3 melee, its not right for one rule for one and not for the other.

Rad offenders too & granite brutes just plain suck (well against blasters anyway )

Don't you have to put down powersets?

And what do you plan to take agro with? No taunt? I presume as this is in the PvP and Arena section you mean for PvP/arena? Stick to tanking with a tank imo

[/ QUOTE ]

Pfft tanking scrappers ftw

I would be up for it, I need to let off some steam after work

With total focus' long animation you should be able to charged brawl + havok punch (does more damage than TF in less time) during it then once you have been hit you will both have high defiance and it will be down to timing and luck to see who dies

Grats people

Wouldnt believe how scary those smurf avatars are when you come back drunk

[ QUOTE ]
It should be, I believe it buffs every aspect of the power.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah it would double the base debuff

Thanks for comments given me something to think about.

So far I've found that Chilblain, Frozen Fists, Chilblain, Ice Sword is pretty good quick ST damage havent even got build up yet so expecting that to be pretty good at boss killing. I have 2 lvl 50 blappers as well so I'm not quick to drop melee moves

I as thinking that with ice patch, shiver and snow storm I would have similar control so an ice/storm troller but maybe they die too quick to make control much of an issue? I did think about Munitions mastery it was a choice between those two I thought I would have enough AoE damage . . but I can see how useful PFF would be . . So unsure now hehe

Is chilling embrace a must have? I thought ice patch did some slow or -recharge but just found out it doesnt

EM/Fire Build Up + Fiery Embrace + Energy Transfer + Total Forcus is just plain nasty Add full fury to that and you 2 shot acrappers

SS is very poor for PvP

[/ QUOTE ]

SS is the 2nd best brute primary imo and the best balance between PvE & PvE Rage is awesome allowing you to kill bubblers, stormies, rads, & SRs. The prolonged damaged buff of Rage also stacks well with Fury meaning you know you will do more damage the longer you are in the fit rather than waiting for BU to recharge. Smashing is highly resisted 40+ not in sirens and warburg though. Hardly any PvP happens at lvl 50 on live anyway . . .

I'd love to hear why you think Elec melee is good in PvP . . .

Made a new blaster to get lowbie salvage, I'm thinking Ice patch + shiver + bu + ignire + flamethrower + full auto would be sweet This is my proposed build which I will respec into at about lvl 27 (13 atm took burst to fill attack chain) so any comments would be appreciated
