Well from what i here (and this is just asking people around) Peacebringers have up front brute force damage, but Warshades make up for the lack of brute force with their debuffs and the ability to go into Nova form with capped Resistance

I hear both are really good and i love both of them, im just curious which you all would prefer for:
Zone:
Arena:
Duels:
thank you all very much for the info.
If possible please give a reason why they are good in your opinion and for each specific area of combat. Thank you very much! -
I love dual pistols, no it's not the super heavy hitters that fire and Sonic are for blasters, but i love it. I notice it has no aim and no snipe which for one i am perfectly cool with, but i would honestly love to see the devs bring this power set out for scrappers. I think it would fit pretty perfectly (kind of like spines) it wouldnt have the 90 yard range least i dont think, but even at 40 yrds i could love it. i would say it should have spines range for its moves such as piercing rounds. I'm a scrapper at heart so playing a blaster is a bit tough for me but if at all possible, i'm requesting that DP head over to scrappers for sure, and maybe brutes.

Quote:im not the type to cry over pvp, never have been, i would rather the fight be interesting and possibly a lesson vs ZOMGIPWNU!, i dont mind underdogs, in fact i preffer them. Even if Dp is as bad as it is said to be, all the more reason for me to play it. The animations are in no way a problem for me, they are very fluent and pretty well working on off one another. Thank you for the information conflic! will definatly look into the two paths.Originally Posted by ConFlict
Fighting was bad pre i13 as well. Not getting superspeed from speed is a bad idea. The only way to really avoid slows as the game works now is with ss. If you don't have you will be a sitting duck far more often than not. The two choices for corrs in a standard pvp build are speed/leap/fit/conceal/bs or speed/leap/fit/leadership/mako. this gives you full movement, +perception and an escape power. For the record those nifty you love them animations that rock your rp socks are nothing but rooting reasons to die.
There are some people out there claiming that dp 'isn't bad in pvp'. Truth is its complete garbage compared to the sets already available that have been tried and tested. As long as you are fine with being sub standard and know it going into it though nothing can be done. Just remember you were warned. -

Dunno much about arena but for zones(only played mine in RV):
Dont pick up fighting for your pvp build.
speed/leaping/fitness/tactics or concealment
Trow Scourge Shrak Jaws(the scourge is frontloaded) is amazing i KS´d my way to 400 lolrep in no time thanks to that power.
But,sometimes wish i had invis and phase instead of hibernate as escape tools.
Since you are a TA(-jump is the most annoying thing ever) you are going to piss off a lot of people and hibernate invites camping.
If you decide on phase get mace as your epic and pick up FA(need perception) at least. Web Envelope(If you can handle another redraw) is nice on knockable targets if you team with /ea doms especially.
Also permagluing Pillbox farmers on slow hours is funny. Almost as funny as seeing a tank getting destroyed by Lord Recluse with painbringer.
I hope that helps.
i am having quite a bit of fun on my Dp/TA at the moment, i was curious why Fighting wouldn't be an idealistic thing to have (Probably because i am still living in the days pre I13, but any insight on that would be very much appreciated. So far I have Dp/TA/Fitness/Leaping (i understand getting Hasten from Speed, but that would be it, unless i am wrong, but i am very much open to ideas) i think i understand the reasoning behind Phase vs hibernate. As for Mace i dont mind another redraw if it doesnt mess up the beautiful synergy between DP/TA animation draws, but once again your advice is noted and i will look forward to testing it along with other creative ideas in the weeks to come (as i level)

dp is bad.
if there is any synergy between it and any secondary, it consists of it being so bad that you only use your secondary.
grav/ta's, elec/ta's, sonic/ta's, and ill/ta's are all better.
If i was going to be hardcore pvp orientated i would absolutely aggree barrier, however there is no changing DP for me, for better or for worse thats the skill set i am going to be, i will make the most out of it, so far i am absolutely loving the synergy between the animations of DP/TA i thank you all for all your input, but i've decided to go with DP/TA, i was informed Maco may help as well. I plan to go Dp/TA (Fitness/Fighting/Leaping) -
Alrighty, i really like the synergy between Pistols and TA animations, they almost feed off each other. My curiosity is this, is TA a "Im gonna annoy you, but not kill you" tool, or is it "Im going to annoy you while i kill you" tool

What do you guys think about DP+trick arrow, no heals, but the animations flow very well together. Any idea if trick arrow works well for pvp?

Have an off topic question, how were mez effects nerfed in pvp? i would like to get suppressive fire from dual pistols (KB/Hold) but if it has no real benefit in pvp then i wont but i would like to know how mez such as stunned and holds got nerfed. Would also like to know why - end, - speed, - damage, -regen is not worth getting in pvp now

Quote:Which would you consider to be a better choice? other than those too ( i may change the title for a more broader opinion)Originally Posted by Firi_
If you must choose between those 2, go with Rad. Currently it has the only power ingame that does any kind of significant -max run spd with Lingering Radiation and with Mace Mastery you can slow someone to a crawl solo. Great for zone gang bangs.
But thats about it. -
I like the idea of Thermal, but it has no real way to slow down an opponent, i have been away for quite sometime so my memories are of Trollers/Dominators/Corruptors being able to lock you down. And blasters being able to frost you to death. If i could get a better understanding or possibly a bit of a broader aspect it would be greatly appreciated.
Thermal and Pain Domination seem to give out quite a bit of fun to it.
Pain domination's Share pain+ Pain Bringer look like a very impressive combination
but again i could be very wrong, reason for my questions

Hello everyone,
First i would like to take a moment to thank you for reading this, and an even greater thank you if you post helpful responses. My question is this: I really would like a Corruptor
Dual Pistol Corrupt to be exact, i like the damage and i like the feel of it.
My question is, for pvp which would be better Kinetics or Radiation?
was reading on Radiation and it looks beneficial for many reasons, however kinetics have quite a bit of benefits itself, i leveled a DP/Kin to 16 and i must say i really enjoy it. It fits my roleplay pretty well. I am very inexperienced with ranged types and the only question i have for a DP/Kin build is how am i supposed to protect myself from effect changers, such as stuns/holds, my buffs are for friendlies, but how would i go about protecting myself? i love Fulcrum shift+Siphon power for a heavy dose of dps and transference seems to help with endurance, it sounds like a very solid set, only thing i don't know is how to avoid being locked down by Mez effects and such -
Please forgive my question if its somewhere on the forums, bit lost looking through these things. I am looking to create either a Fortunata or a Huntsman, ive seen videos of both and well im leaning to the fort because its something ive always admired. My question is, in a Pvp scenerio which one would perform better in the hands of the same player, equally played and equally slotted. im not looking for a FotM or something godmode just would like a character i could play and not feel like it's failing is out of my hands, if i suck i suck but if i shine i want to shine. Pvp is my main goal. Thank you all in advance for the help.
