I was going to roll a new katana stalker for a pvp build and was wondering a few things.
1. What would be the best secondary for survival? (was thinking regen)
2. Which travel power would best compliment this set? (was thinking super speed but was wondering if this would be any good against jumpers/flyers)

Durr.. wrong forum dude.

Correct forum, just typo, fixed.
Well.. number 1, I wouldn't be saying anything for that, since if I pick something, people will just come by and start saying "something else is better than that!"
for number 2, if I were you, I'd pick two travel powers. SJ and SS.
TP always was great for me but you know =/ not it isn't really all that great escaping tool anymore x[
and Fly is just..... =/ there are some powers making it useless as you know =x

Most folks in this forum work on PvE builds. What he trying to say is you should go to the PVP forums. They can help alot better there than here. And for the record, Katana is not a good PvP choice. Not enough burst damage. And its damage is one of the most resisted in game.

Doesn't matter about resistance everyone and their grandma have it to all types in pvp zones. That's why sonic blasters are FoTM right now they reduce resistance with all their attacks.

Well I know this forum is mainly pve but there are plenty of people on here who know enough about pvp, and the question was what would be the best secondary with katana, not should I use katana.
/Regen is the secondary you want for PvP on a scrapper.
You'll want SS/SJ for travel powers. I've seen some who try for just SS or SS/CJ/Hurdle and it never seems to work as well.

??? With Build Up and some hard hitters, Katana can put out some heavily front-loaded damage. What's your definition of burst? What DOES put out good burst damage if not Katana? (I'm no PvP guy, so if I'm being totally retarded, please forgive me.)

All the attacks do different damage in pvp now werner, and the faster the animation, the lighter the damage - so he's actually very correct that in the new pvp, katana is pretty weak now (putting aside the fact that range is also critical in pvp, both new and old).
In the old pvp, and current pve, obviously katana can drop some wicked burst damage.

Katana still does very respectable in pvp, and from a villain standpoint, I'd say I fear Katana ALOT more than Broadsword these days. The Katana just has to be built well and played well. Also, Regen is pretty much the only secondary worth noting in pvp these days for a Scrapper, unless you wanna only come out and fight when Elude or Unstop are up..

Yes, it does okay, but as a stalker/brute, I still hate BS/ a lot more than Kat/ =x (though I'm mainly a scrapper when I'm pvping. xP)

When Katana is proc'd correctly, it's absolutely beastly from what I've experienced/seen. I fear BS alot less on my Brutes and Stalkers than Katana, but maybe that's just me.
Well.. BS has more base dmg plus if Katana can be proc'd correctly, why can't BS be too? =/ That's why I still fear BS more =x plus you won't be hitting that many times anyways so I don't really count the cycle considering the activation time and recharge =/
Btw, wasn't the OP asking what secondary he should take? =O
Yes I was and I believe I have read enough now to know that regen is really the only option for pvp, thanks though
