Seems like pentad is the favorite of very few people 
. Personally I'm not interested making teams from our coalition, even if there are some people interested there doesnt seem to be a good mix of ATs..
martial arts/dark armour scrapper
mace/fire tank
archery/dev blaster
mind trick/arrow controller
trick arrow/archery defender
Debate over. Even a noob could defeat CoH's greatest PvP'ers with such a completely gimped team by lulling them into a false sense of security 
Realise I've gone off topic, but would this pentad be one of the WORST possible or can someone out gimp it?
Maybe we can get MTV and Tim Westwood on it and replace pimp my ride with ungimp my pentad!
Martial Arts isn't gimped 
and Fire Secondary is much worse than devices for blasters.
thePhilosopher Martial Arts/Regen/Fire Scrapper
theRegulator Empathy/Energy/Soul Defender
Total Inertia Ice Blast/Kinetics/Psy Corruptor
Total Inferno Ice Blast/Thermal/Leviathan Corruptor
And Mind certainly isn't gimped, what ever it may be with as a secondary.
Although Trick Arrow would add so much more control, which is bad for a controller.
For who you are fighting, that is. 
You can never have a "gimped" controller combo. Controllers don't have any "bad" PvP powersets.
agreed

Yeah, the same is true of scrapper primaries. Neither of those two were really what I called gimped but I couldn't really find a weak set in either of those AT's primaries. Same with the tank really, Fire isn't gimped, just in there as I couldn't find anything else.

False IMO, Katana, Claws and DM arent that good for arena PVP.

Nice team imag, except i'd go,
Spines/super reflex/body scrapper
Forcefield/*/mind defender
Invul/em/body tanker
Ice/devices/ice blaster
Illusion/empathy/primal controller.
Spines/Regen - Scrapper
Fire/Kinetics - Troll
Empathy/Electric - Defender
Electric/Ice - Blaster
Stone/EM - tank
2 People have mentioned Invuln/EM/Body Tanks
We pwnz.
because they have repel resistance. Otherwise I'd go for an Ice/Em/Body tank. At least equally as unkillable, but with added control from slows.
Spyka
Earth/rad/Primal
Ice/Dev/Force
Ice/EM/none
FF/Psi/Psi
**Acceptable "support" responses**
Its your fault
Its your computers fault
Its your ISPs fault
Yup, if there were greater team numbers and an addition of a kinetic, i'd drop the invul/em and slap in an ice/en tank.

i think earths is quite gimped in the arena, only thing going for it is quicksand, that's about it.

I disagree, as with most things its the person behind it thats important and some people can do crazy things with "gimped" builds. My defenceless (non-regen) stalkers are often refered to as gimped builds, at least by those who havent fought them in the pvp zones.

there are no gimped builds all have advantages and disadvantages, i.e. ninjitsu has fear and confuse res but can b 2shotted, regen has no res to slows, fear or confuse but cant b 2shotted, depends on ur team and how u play
as for earth, holds, immob, -fly, -def, -acc, slows, knockback to name a few without lookin at the set properly

Oh hay yeah, quicksand is the ONLY thing going for the set, lets just ignore the hold, and the single target immobilze which also does -fly. Oh yeah that targeted AoE hold, which constantly stacks with itself is very gimp. OH WAIT don't get me started on that gimpy knockdown power aswell, lol oh you whats the worst thing? The pet which has insanely high res to damage. Yup earth is gimped.....
And i agree with botty 100% Player always counts above build.

web grenade.
but, it can't lay the hurt big time, so the trendy melee blasters are over now ?
With a team that spikes targets, it can lay the hurt big time, and make it easier to do so.
Oh yeah did you miss all the other things i said earth has going for it, apart from the immobilze?

so what if the pet can't be killed i wont start attackign a pet anyways. he is poo at doing damage and poo at controlling, only thing going for the pet is the ranged knockback. Everybody runs acrobatics nowadays so earthquake isn't too good and a breakfree will protect you from knockback/knockdown. Pvp is all about movement i don't see how people will stand in the aoe hold for long, unless the team with the earth troller forms a turtle inside the aoe thingie.
