Taking on Elude in PVP

Was wondering what sets would be good in taking on A toon with Elude in PVP zones and arena. Not really going to worry about blasters, but really curious on how do i fight these guys. Do I just wait for elude to wear off? I dont PvP much but when I did pre i13 it was usually a good fight, now it just a matter of watching my life drain till I die. I have a plant/psi and Ice/psi slotted, and now a Earth/Psi (not slotted but getting there.) Do i need to change secondries or Primaires?. Also my builds are geared towards a solid PVE toon, not PVP. But anyways, any input would be appreciated.

Or should I just avoid this fight all together?

mind/thorns will work. Thorns has -def and aim. Add in tactics and you'll hit that scrapper all day long.

in the arena, i force them into elude early on, spend 3 minutes running, come back and destroy them for the next 3 minutes.

sounds cheap but it works wonders. it makes people so angry. that's mainly why i do it.

mind/* will hit through consistently though, so you can just use your primary and ignore elude.

/thorns will -def them nicely, but the thing with thorns is that the lethal + toxic dmg makes it worthless against a lot of opponents. for example, half good regens will give you a hard time, as will any squishy with inherent resists. blasters will give you a hard time too. fighting most melee's is pretty hilarious though.

earth/* should be able to -def elude quite a bit, but the -def debuff resistance is still gonna be an issue. widow elude is laughable though. this also applies to thorns.

/elec is sexy though. if you throw poisonous ray (or water spout), pop force of nature, build up and jump them, you will three shot an /sr scrapper. just remember to FINISH with thunderstrike. otherwise the scaling resists will keep you from getting a kill.

so yeah, the best way to go about it on any single dom build, is to run around and come back and destroy them during the crash / after it.

otherwise, mind/*, earth+elec/thorns, anything+elec/water spout/poisonous ray.

This is true, unless the SR Scrapper is built correctly and running a 70 second or less Elude

70 seconds is way more than you'll need provided you land your attacks.

Provided he doesn't use Inspires and/or pop Demonic or even Phase. Maybe.

Or you spend 3 minutes running, then the scrapper spends a bit over a minute running... repeat. Sounds like a lot of fun.
