WP is not great for PvP, because Rise to the Challenge detoggles when you get mezzed (and you will get mezzed). It's workable, just not great.

What mac said but against a few guys it can be really good like against some one who is all about difference your rage will help to knock them down and for people who don't have mez and things like that you will do great against. Just to tell you though there is a lot of content at lvl 50 and you can really make a SS/WP shine in PvE farming or what ever.
Just don't do it, it's annoying as hell to have to retoggle RttC every 3 seconds. Nearly everything in the game has even a small mag of some kind of mez.

This is not my experience at all. You dont really need RTTC unless you are fighting in melee since it only works in melee. with around 2500 HP and over 45 hp a second regen I can take a beating before I even need to worry about using insp, SoW or Demonic Aura(which EVERY PvP toon should have)
I hopped into RV and happended to catch some Scrappers, a Troller and Blaster under the statue doing some lolfiteclub and took down Regen after Regen then made my way through the Controller and Blaster.
Even did a few duels with a Psi/Dev Blaster on top of the train(sup Helm) and came away with 2 wins 1 loss
I seem to notice that unless the type of AT people ask about are at the top of the list when it comes to PvP, you hear mostly 'dont do it' or 'it sucks'. PvP is [censored] easy mode these days. If you knew how to PvP well before Issue 13 and stuck around you can tear anyone who didnt a new one.
I'm not claiming to be some UberleetPvPsuperstar but I know how this game works and since everything is so damn predictable these days I have no problems using middle road PvP class ATs to get kills. I have a few that lost all hope with the defense nerf and I can only hope they get fixed sometime.

It wouldn't matter what primary he was or if he was a tank or scrapper. My opinion wasn't about how uber l33t or gimped /WP is in pvp. I just personally find it seriously annoying having to retoggle this power over and over.
If it doesn't bother the OP then more power to him. It bothers me so I don't pvp with my willpower brute anymore.
I fully agree that its very annoying to have to turn RTTC back on but what I am saying is RTTC is a melee power and no one but fightclucbbers or melee ATs stay in melee for it to matter

RttC is not a melee power; it is the main form of damage mitigation for WP. Without it, you have a smattering of resists and defenses, and some +HP. Yes, it is much better when used in melee range, but it's a respectable power against ranged attacks, provided it doesn't drop, that is.
This is incorrect - RttC doesn't grant any regen bonus unless there are enemies in melee range to fuel it. It's the most skippable power in the set (besides the rez) for PvP.

Pffft, the rez is better the RttC in PvP. At least you get some from the rez, RttC hands out a wonderful -3.5% tohit...LOOK OUT!

What power are yo utalking about cause as Mac said and as I know RTTC does nto do what you described.
It is a melee aura that grants regen for mobs in range as well as provides a -tohit to the enemy while in range. Without a mob in melee range, its does nothing

It is always funny to me when people argue for powers in PVP when they don't even know how the power works.
RttC giving protection from ranged attacks? lolwut?
Well now they know and knowing is half the battle...
I just did a new build on my EM/WP Brute for PvP and got 50.54 hp per second(Before DR) and 2607 hp. Do you think it is a decent start for a pvp build?
I didnt get RttC since it always detoggles, I didnt get the self rez and i didnt get the highten sense since it has weak defense and didnt need the perception since I was getting Focus accuracy and slotted it with a perception proc.
That is pretty good regen
I would not pass Hightened senses though. Stacked +perc is very nice and if your attacker gets hit with some -tohit your +defense is that much better. You can put a LoTG +rech in it too
Make sure you get tough for global resist in PvP too

Do you normally "lol @" +100% recharge, +28% damage and +21% tohit for 90s? 
I hear that SS/Invul is better these days, but my PvP knowledge is admittedly outdated.
Too many alts to list.
I recently hit 50 with my SS/WP brute and was wondering if anyone had experience in PvP with one? I haven't spent more than 3 minutes in a PvP zone as of yet, so I'm not really sure what to expect. Does anyone have a decent SS/WP brute PVP build?
Considering how boring things have become at 50, I think PvP might be just what I need to keep me interested. heh
Thanks in advance for all input!
