This is a build I've been toying around with for a while now for Arena PvP. I'd like some critique on it from those of you more knowledgable in PvP that me. Whithout further adieu, the build.

You don't need Snow Storm and Sleet is underslotted. Switch out Mu Mastery for Leviathan Mastery, or drop Leadership and take Phase.

Phase in arenas? I see no point in running even more, not to mention with everyone moving around so much Sleet wont do much of anything. The Hold in Elec I have slotted with a number of damage procs, and at the moment is my strongest hitting attack, and a hold. Not to mention Power Sink helps drain a little extra END while giving me some as well.

And what is the love for Leviathan mastery here? Its always about Leviathan for Hibern00b, well what If I wanted to sta and duke it out instead of wait to die?

To keep from dying. You won't win a duel if the other person has Phase/Hibernate and you don't, unless you can put out insane damage really fast (a Corruptor normally can't).

They don't have to be in the power's effect when you use it for the debuff to hit them - as long as they run though the patch they'll get debuffed for the full duration. You want it up as often as possible so you can ensure that happens (best bet is mez + Sleet while they can't move).

Leviathan Mastery has Spirit Shark Jaws which does just about the same damage as Electric Shackles, and gives you access to Hibernate. Power Sink will not drain enough end to be noticeable especially when you have no other real consistent sources of end drain (Heat Loss and Electric Shackles will not do enough on their own).

Then you'd just die faster. You may have Aid Self but it won't do you any good if you've got toggle debuffs on you (the debuffs will interrupt Aid Self) or if they can just keep spamming damage and kill you anyways. "Stand and fight" seems nice and all that but it doesn't work well in practice if you're a squishy (really, it doesn't work well in practice at all against a competent player).

Oh. Wow, someone actually posted legitimate reasons to take their advice for once. I find that's very rare in the PvP section. I'll do a quick build alter and post in a moment.

EDIT: Could I get by with just Hibernate and not Phase?

For sleet, how should I slot it? Im not sure the slotting I used this time makes use of its potential.

You want to get more kb protection so you cant get farmed. If you plan on doing team arena all you should really be doing is benumbing the emp and then scourging after AS. So you want to build for max hp .. kb prot .. and then recharge

I just did another quick alter swapping a set of Thunderstrike for devastation. Sadly I cant follow that outline for slotting almost at all. Most of my powers are Franken-slotted for maximum efficiency. However, With that in mind I can make a few small changes that should help int he long run.

EDIT: Added a Karma +KB prot IO to Arctic Air.
