Need help making my first PVP toon

After 4 years I have finally decided to make a toon that is dedicated to PVP. However, I don't know which AT I should start with. I would like some advice on which AT and build I would be good for a noob at PVP to learn the ropes with. I realize that the first toon I make will not be the be all end all but I want a solid toon to learn the ropes with.

Thanks in advance

Most will suggest making a FoTM to help the learning curve, but I'll say make whatever appeal to you the most. As for picking a PvP toon it all depends what you like to play buffers/debuffers, range, melee, or disruption toons (i.e stormies, bubbler, trick arrow). Pick then we can go from there. Also if you're just starting out PvPing it would be better to arena with SG mates and friends to get an idea how your powers and that AT perform, zone can be a real turn off for first time PvPers.

I am open to any type of of toon (bubbler, range, melee etc) Just want some input on which type would be best to learn the ropes on.

A well-built Scrapper, Brute, or Tanker offers survivability and offensive power, a good balance for someone just learning the mechanics of PvP. A Mastermind is also very potent but they have a significant learning curve.

I'd recommend a Spines/Regen Scrapper, Fire/Super Strength Tanker, or Super Strength/Fire Brute.

Because there aren't any better PvP sets.

In my experience with PvP it all really depends on your playstyle. you can take perty much any AT and make a good PvP toon with it. i have a lvl 50 spines/dark that is pretty efficient in PvP (but still a little end heavy) and i absolutely love him. I also have a WS in Pvp that sux [censored]....funny thing is is that in Sirens Call a WS pwned my scrapper......so basically it all really depends on your playstyle and your build. IO's give alot of customization to toons.My build is slotted for Regen and recharge allowing me to have battles where i kill my opponent very quickly...but due to my current IO setup i cant survive a battle for more than 3 min because by that time i will be left drained of end. So really it all depends on how you like to play
