Just returned to the game after SOE decided to kill Star Wars Galaxies on us all and I think COH has been improved a lot while ive been away.

Totally new are the PVP areas and I was wondering if there were any guides written yet? I have looked around and I can't find any sorry if im not looking hard enough but does anyone know of any guides or helpful posts they could point out to me?

Ive been reading some of the threads and I get the idea that only certain toons are viable. Im a level 41 Empath/Energy defender and I play in a 100% supportive role to the teams I work with. Could this toon work in that role in the PVP areas?

Thanks for any help!

Yup. Make sure you're always spamming clear mind on your team and they'll love you forever.

Yup defenders are loved so you'll have to get used to deadly hugs, over and over again hehe. Believe me, coming from another defender I'm Immune to em by now

Best advice i can give is to team and think whats best to get to keep you alive. Two travels are handy to have. One to keep you of the ground and another to get you out of harms way if anyone uses a -fly power on you(TP maybe) Invis and P.shift will help you aswell. Tactics is also good as it enables you to see foe's useing invis. Apart from that dont stand still even for a second

Thanks Lady.

I have fly and superjump for travel powers so they shoudl be able to do what you describe. I also have invisibility so thats convered as well.

What I usually do is hover or fly with also stealth, combat jumping and Acrabatics on all the time hoping they will stack and increase my defence (talking pve as I still havent done any pvp yet)

You'll get about 10% defence for running hover, CJ and stealth stacked. I suppose that could be kinda useful, but you're sacrificing movement speed to be able to run these 3 powers at the same time. I wouldn't bother, to be honest.

Is that all I get? 10%? Even with each of the powers 3 slotted with Defense SO?

If thats the case I do need to rethink that strategy both for pvp and pve I think.

Yup, around that. I think it's about 2.5% unslotted for each, and around a 1% boost when 3 slotted with defence SOs. It's just not worth it anymore.
