1) KB can be useful, but mez generally isn't nearly as good as it was
2) A bit, but not much. Roll for damage
3) The FotM's have changed, and now there's less balance than before.
"the reason there are so many sarcastic pvpers is we already had a better version of pvp taken away from us to appease bad players. Back then we chuckled at how bad players came here and whined. If we knew that was the actual voice devs would listen to instead of informed, educated players we probably would have been bigger dicks back then." -ConFlict
post what you wanna use/roll in pvp and we'll give you alternatives and reasons.
thanks for the speed replies
i was thinking about the lvl 5 arena event
was thinking may go with dark/mm defender or Energy/mm blaster
defenders are nigh useless right now with the exception of ff defenders (which still require you to pick a secondary with aim) and some storms (you're still better off on a storm troller).
dark defenders are still pretty horrible against capable players.
in regards to blasters: psy/em, sonic/em and fire/em. all else is garbage and you shouldn't bother with them.
welcome to i13.
so do the secondary effects have much of an effect in i13?
so with sonic/ does the -res have much of an impact?
thanks for the replies
No, it just has an attack with a long animation so it hits like a mac truck.
I personally like my energy/mm blaster, but as ive seen its one of the very few that pvp's out there. But it still does good enough. Psi/em r good for blasters right now.
Ice/shield tanks r also starting to pop up.
-i know holds and kb have less of effect now, do these skills have enough of an impact to still use?
For controllers and doms yes. For others, not really.
-do debuffs still have much effect?
Not much.
-have the changes led to more balance between AT's or are there some that are still a lot better than others?
The game has never been as unbalanced as it is currently. In that sense, I13 could not have possibly been any more of a failure. Because the whole point was to create balance.
/em isn't the only secondary for blasters that works, don't forget /devices its quite popular right now and its what I use to great effectiveness.

If you're going to be thinking about the level 5 arena event, go with a Sonic/Energy or Psi/Energy Blaster. Maaaaaaybe a Sonic/Rad Corruptor but Blasters usually rule in FFAs.

i'm bringing a sonic/rad.
i tied for first on a fun round (the round after the actual official one) on an ice/rad corr back in i11 back then...
Ice/Rad Controller was the way to go.
Hey all,
I've pvp'ed a little prior to i13 and going to get back in it. I've search the forums and PW, but i still have some questions.
i know holds and kb have less of effect now, do these skills have enough of an impact to still use?
do debuffs still have much effect?
have the changes led to more balance between AT's or are there some that are still a lot better than others?
thanks in advance
