Need a new pvp toon.

Bout that time again... I need to roll up another pvp toon.

Here's what I currently have to work with (that I think is pvp possible)

earth/sonic troller (use to be a good idea)
Fire/rad troller (i like meh imps)
fire/thorn dom (lvl 40 atm, at the time he was one of the few doms that had aim, when aim was more important)
dark/rad corr (lvl 28 atm, I just figured a lot of -to hit)

I'm more than happy to start fresh with another build (preferably with a corr or troller) but if I could get by with any of these that would be nice. I would rather not roll an elec/therm, but other than that I'm open for ideas. I really liked the idea of my dark/rad (two heals, lots of -to hit, but seems like weak dmg).

the fire/thorn would be ur best bet that and for farming to.

Rather pointless because of heal decay though no?

Well, most matches will be played in arena, and most matches are usually played with TS off and HD off.

do you have a storm yet? i see those being really useful after GR(aka city of blasters).

mind/storm sonic/storm storm/psi and if you can stomach it some mastermind/storm.

Well I have a pretty badass MM atm. Not sure if I would want to roll up another one of those. It seems like i push the "easy" button when I log on him.

Could always do Earth/Energy dom for the Knockback nonsense award!

Great dmg, kb and crazy fun times!

Is Earth/Nrg really that good? Mine is now sitting at 44 but since I IO'd my Mind/Fire I don't feel confident any KB/-def tricks can outdo that pseudo blaster in any way.

I already have a mind/fire and she is pretty lethal. And now that you mention it, I believe I even have a fire/storm troller, he's just not a Bot, so I really can't use him. Apocalyptic Donkey...if anyone remembers him.

edit...or are you talking fire/storm corr?


 

Posted

No, I meant Fire/Storm Troller. Fire/Cold might be good in I16 too. If you wanted a /Storm Corruptor I'd pair it with Rad or Sonic.

anything storm is fun fun fun and annoying


 

Posted

Yea, anything /Storm is going to be fun, viable, and disruptive in PvP. You're going to be the solution to the problem that is the Mastermind AT.

Uggh.... So now I get to get another annoyer? =x


 

Posted

Now to decide, storm troller, corr or defender... The blaster aspect entices me. Pets seem somewhat worthless for a troller unless you go ill... Def has best debuffs (right) but corr has some good blasters powers. Humm...


 

Posted

Also depends what side you want to PvP on for the next few months. Once Going Rogue comes out you'll be able to PvP on either side, but for now it matters.

Keep in mind that Corruptors don't hit nearly as hard as Blasters. I personally like Controllers the best. Illusion is quite fun, and you can be a fortress for any other heroes to stay around. Often times, you'll see a Stormie as the center of a hero huddle. Also, Ice and Mind are good primaries for PvP, with Mind/ being the best. Illusion isn't generally a good PvP set, but I just like it so much.

Ill/Storm/Primal can be good in pvp.


 

Posted

I guess I should have also said, this toon will be mainly Arena, hardly ever if any zones.


 

Posted

Ah, okay. Well that changes a bit. I personally would say Storm is better for zone than for arena.


 

Posted

Storm is actually better in arena than zones...the NPC's wreck most stormies in zone. Plus having a giant map to run away from all the debuffs is also bad...so yea. I think you got it backwards.

ill/storm/earth isn't bad imo. You don't have to build for +HP and can build for other things, +Acc mainly imo and perhaps +Dmg. Hurl Boulder is a nice ranged attack, hopefully you can get containment dmg on it, I also believe spectral wounds does decent dmg as well. Add to that phantom army plus all the other pets that will help keep your target suppressed and you could do alright.

Most folks will tell you power mastery for PB holds -Def -ToHit -End/Recov ect...ect...but those were for Paper cut deaths. It's about dmg now...and HP
YMMV

impossible. it animates longer than you can hold someone for, you have to be on the ground for like an extra 2 seconds to cast it. i just slot it for knockback protection.

Not impossible, just hard in the way your thinking.

Not every toon is melee and has access to that much mez res so a 6 sec hold is still possible and since hold and confuse are different suppression timers it doesn't seem that hard to me at all.

Well, I think i'll make a storm/dark defender. Overall should have some nice tohit debuffs and a little heal.
