Old PvPer looking to get back into the game..

Hello!

When PvP was first added to CoH I PvP'd as much as I could.. but in time all my friends either left CoH or stopped PvPin and I in return left PvP to focus on PvE..

Well it is time now for me to get back into the game of PvP..

And I come here asking.. For each AT what are good PvP toons/combos?

They redid PvP in I13 and it's pretty bad compared to the old system. Go look at the I13 (and I14) patch notes to find out what changes have been made, there are too many and they're too confusing to list here.

What characters do you have that you'd like to try PvP with? There's a chance at least some of them could be made workable.

The Shield/SS could work decently. As far as Tankers go you're better off with Fire/SS or Inv/SS though.

Also I knew PvP was redone..

But do you have any opinion on which combo would be good? for any AT?

What AT are you looking to try out? Solo or teamed, zone or arena?

I'm in a similar situation as the OP. I'm looking at small team arena and my role on the team will probably be primary damage dealer.

Any suggestions on a character to work on?

Ice/Nrg Blaster
Fire/Kin Troller
Nrg/Elec Brute
Stone/Fire Tanker
FF/Nrg Defender
PB

I also have a few lower level toons that I could work up:
Fire/Psy Blaster
Kin/Ice Defender
Ice/Kin Corruptor
Widow

If this is only for team arena..Will DR be on or off? Since certain builds do better damage with one or the other.

DR will be on. This is for the Pinnacle PvP League.

Then I would make a sonic/em blaster if you're going to be the main damage dealer.

I'd go with the Peacebringer or Fire/MM Blaster unless your team is running a Stalker or two in which case I'd go with the FF/Energy to set up KB/AS spikes.
