    Here's the main thread about it, with a bit of an introduction.

    We hold events for those who are almost strictly PvE looking to learn how to PvP. Then we hold events where you use what you've learned.

    While SS/Invul can be strong as in hard to kill, the mechanics in PvP (Travel Suppression slowing you down) along with lag not allowing you to connect hits, and little range to switch targets and contribute damage with the team as effectively, I would not recommend an SS/invul. This is coming from someone who mained an SS/invul brute for over 2 years in PvP. It can be fun sometimes, but with the current state of PvP I could not be as effective as a ranged character.

    That being said, I would recommend a ranged character of some type, or a stalker. Being in hide is somewhat like pseudo range, since your opponent can't attack you until you attack them. This allows you a free big melee attack, giving stalkers enough burst to be useful for spikes.

    By the end of today, our leaders will have decided upon times for the upcoming events. I'm thinking, 1 event the same as we had (for beginners), 1 that's a little advanced (tricks for those who PvP) and 1 that's actually PvP (Most likely kickball with leaders as the leaders).

    Hopefully you can come join us, we're always open to those interested in PvP.
    Sounds fun. My only character right now is a SD/SS tank. But from what I've just read ranged toons are preferred. I don't know a lot about ranged toons as far as the best categories. Can you point me in the right direction or provide a build so that I can make the toon on Virtue? Any help is GREATLY appreciated.

    Open ended budget to a degree. I have heard that some epic PvP builds run up to as much as 50bil. I'd like to spend less but don't want a cheap wannabe build so I'm willing to spend what it takes to get the right toon.

    Hi There,

    I've been playing PVE for a while now and really would like to get into PVP. However I'm at a quandry as to what type of build to make. I hear super Strength/Invul is pretty touch along with regen stalkers. If someone could give me some pointers and perhaps a build, I would be much appreciative. I'm willing to trade influence for a good build. Just hit me up and let me know.
