It appears that damage is the only consistent variable in place.

This pretty much sums up all the I13 changes. Roll something that does lots and lots of damage, and you'll win.

i thought anything/anything blasters were still the kings of pvp...?

Why the shield/ss tank? All the others make sense, but that one.

Because Shields on Tankers is quite godly in zone pvp believe it or not.

No kidding? I really liked my DM/SD brute, but was afraid SD was going to be useless in zone pvp. Maybe I'll roll a SD tank.

uhh.... i wouldn't unless you plan to Fight Club. If you get weapons mastery on that scrappers you'll be just as effective as your Earth/TA and be able to put out some damage. Your Earth/TA however will be always more effective vs stalkers. And ur Crab will be a good Fight Clubber if played like a sissy running arround and healing a lot since the other guy is 'not allowed to pop or run back' lol.
Anyhow, pick a sonic blaster or sonic/therm corr... do hit and run tactics and you won't fail in zone PvP again.
I'm completely lost as to how PvP works now. I brought a high defense character into RV and something causes all the defense to diminish. Defense on that particular toon, which could survive just about anything before, is worthless now.
My Crab used to be Godlike, a tank with ranged attacks and pets, if you will. He now is more like crab bait.
And the wonderful slows of my Earth/TA serve absolutely no function in zone PvP other than to drop flyers and jumpers with ent. arrow and glue arrow.
I'm so lost. What actually performs well in zone PvP now? I was thinking of making a heroside sapper, but fear I will level him all the way up only to find out there's some enigmatic mechanism in place that makes it work differently than I thought it would. There's so many hidden rules and formulas in place when you transfer from PvE to PvP that I don't have the slightest clue what will work right.
It appears that damage is the only consistent variable in place.
Help please.
