This is a little suggestion to people who want to play with the cool mechas and pillboxes and are getting ganked every 5 seconds.
Step 1: Go to Warburg. You hate PVP so you never did the missions on the zone, right? It's empty nowadays, so you'll have no trouble. I was the only character on the zone when I did this both on my controller and my corruptor.
Step 2: Do the Patrol Warburg mission. You'll get a cool badge for it, but also, talk to the guy who gave you the mission when done, and you get a nice temporary power: Hyper Phase! That's phase shift, lasts 30 minutes.
Step 3: Stock up on Break Frees. No Break Frees in a PVP zone equals death.
Step 4: Type /macro nopvp "inspexec_name Break Free$$local I am not interested in PVP, please do not attack me."; this will make a nice button that you can place right next to the Hyper Phase power.
Okay, now you're ready to step into Recluse's Victory. Grab the heavy, or trade pillboxes, or go look for that contaminated.
If you get held or otherwise attacked, hit the NoPVP button and immediately after, the Hyper Phase button. This will use a Break Free to free you from the hold or to prevent you from being held while Hyper Phase activates. If you can survive 5 seconds while Hyper Phase activates, you'll be completely unaffected by anything for 30 seconds. The message in Local might be enough to distract the enemy attacking you for those 5 seconds while they type a reply.
Some people will be nice and leave you alone after that message. Others won't and will keep on pounding you through Phase Shift. If the latter is the case, run. Don't try to reason. You only got 30 seconds of safety.
In my experience, knowing that you can pull this trick every time you are attacked will dissuade most people from bothering to attack you. Hyper Phase only lasts 30 minutes of total usage; if you have two respecs available, you might want to respec into the real Phase Shift from the Containment pool, and then going back to your regular build once you're done with all your RV objectives.
