I dont have and have never had end problems with invulnerability. Good sides for pvp are that you dont need more than 2 toggles; temp invuln and unyielding. Invincibility doesnt have that much to offer for pvp. Also, you will get very high resistance to S/L damage but not so high resistance against other types of damage.
Bad sides are that you need to get stamina and aid self (unlike regen which doesnt need either and /dark which just needs stamina).

With a Broadword Primary you'll probably find it easiest to run a regen, with SR coming in a fairly close second.
SR is lighter on the endurance than Dark is, and it's arguably a better PVP secondary than regen anyway.
(OK, OK... unless you're dueling Blasters... 
)
In general with SR you'll have better recharge and movement (due to quickness) and your clicky-based mez protection fares better in pvp than toggle-based mez protection.
If you're having endurance issues you can slot endred in your attacks and make do with quickness and hasten for recharge. I'd also try to fit "Aid Self" in before 30 if you're doing Sirens Call PvP.

That's probably a reasonable idea of how I'd go about building a BS/SR.
I don't like the passives much and particularly with Aid Self and Parry they are not "must-haves". I'd imagine they'll be useful for the defence debuff resistance, if not the scaling damage resistance so I stuck them in there post-40. Conserve Power would be a good choice too, really depends how you want to play.

This is one power i wouldnt use an end redux, your health is bound to drop faster than your end in pvp and if it isnt your either winning or someone is draining it and in the end drain case i dont hold out much hope for ya.

Take Dark as the secondary because it offers defence to allmost everything, but from looking @ the powers it seems i will have to be constantly switching togles (unless i keep the sheilds on permanently and strugle with End)

As a BS/DA scrapper, you should be fine with your shields and end usage once you have stamina. I have all 3 constantly up + death shroud without it causing significant problems, though slotting end red in all your attacks is a must. The big issue with DA I find is the lack of knockback protection, though acrobatics will of course sort this.

I agree. Actually I'm kinda surprised at the nearly complete lack of invul scrappers in pvp circles. They have one overlooked thing on their side, unyielding laughs at the repel in force bubble, hurricane or telekinesis. An invul scrapper with empath or more defender backup would be quite nice, imo.
Just dont roll a DA scrapper if you want to pvp.

I think DA's get too much of a bad rep tbh. It's really just their self heal that lets them down, it uses an accuracy check but that could be countered with the medicine pool.
They get stealth, +perception, fear protection and end drain protection, and the fear/stun mez toggles could concieveably be quite useful when fighting squishies. And when they fall Soul transfer is pretty much an unresistable mez (can detoggle Granite Armor iirc).
Only thing would be that with Acrobatics and Aid Self practically required there'd be less pool power options available. Could see a /DA struggling in solo PvP but doing nicely with defender backup.
OK, i am now thinking as my alt is still @ lvl 1 waiting 4 more tip's Ect.
Should i pick BS/Invincable Or Bs/Sr??
I am mainly thinking of PvP (but need a little PvE to LvL).
I havnt tried my Alt yet, he is Bs/Dark Atm, IBut from what i gather Dark is not the best choise especially @ low lvl's, or have i miss-understood??
LOL! Sry us Welsh are known to be a little slow but i try 
.
My main concerns are :- Solo ability, Stamina Problem's (Especially @ low lvl's lvl 20 & under).
Also i have been told that the Scrapper version of Invincabilitly is not like the Tank's, i dont have or never have played as a Tank but what exactly is the difference??
Any thing you post will help me & i TY!
TTFN!!!
Bs/Sr for zones or BS/Regen for arena. DA sucks at PvP, never pick it for those purposes

I really diddnt want to take Regen because i have a Ma/Regen & dont like to have alt's with same build's.
So what have done, just to do a fast lvl test is remade my Bs/Dark for a Bs/Invurability. Coz im an altaholic i will probabbly make a Bs/Sr Also coz i just cant decide LOL!
Also i have been thinking if i do like playing as a Bs/Inv i can Delete the other & make a Kitana/Sr.
I'm thinking Kitana/Sr would be a good combo, fast attack's combined with reflex, but would it be a good PvP build, iv never tried a Kitana, but i have seen it in action.
TY for all tip's so far, plz keep them coming
10) --> Practiced Brawler, is it a sheild that stays on or is it a long recharge Togle? Coz i noticed the recharge time & havnt picked it yet.
If it is a toggle, should i slot it with recharge as well as defence?? Also would it need an Endurace Mod Enhancement?
TY!
P.S. > Sorry for all the question's but id like to get the build right without deleting & remaking over again, also saves me respecing to get it right.

its a clicky not a toggle, with quickness i think it only needs 2 recharge reduction enhancements to be perma.
It is a click power that is active for 2 minutes. It is probably the best status protection, as your status protection against Knockback etc. does not get toggled off, when you are held or immob.
With two Recharge SOs in Practiced Brawler and Quickness you will do just fine and Brawler will be active all the time. Just put it on Auto (Control + Click on Power) and you are good to go.

KEWL. TY guyz now all i need to do is make up my bloddy mind LOL!
Most of you probabbly know but now but im an altaholic & like to try different builds.
The Bs/Sr is ok but very End Heavy ATM.
I dont really mind deleting him coz hes only lvl 17, so - - - -
I was thinking would Kitana/Sr be a better build, i know its faster but less Dmg than Bs, but i see ALOT! Of Kitana Scrappers about & not that many Bs Scrappers.
So do you think it would be a waste of time remaking my Bs/Sr to a Kitana/Sr??
Also if Kitanna is best in your oppinions, Plz State why you think, plus Likes & Dissliked Ect.
TY Every 1 for the awsome tip's so far plz keep em coming
I have both a lvl 50 katana/sr and a lvl 50 bs/sr but overall one isnt better katana has quicker activation times, shorter recharge, less endurance, less damage. For zonal PvP and FFAs I would recommend Katana for duels and team PvP I would recommend BS. But neither is particually good until lvl 27ish with slotted Soaring Dragon or Disembowel.

I would disagree. Focused acuracy + invince means easy hits on an SR =]
Hmm use a diffrent colour!
Well my Bs/Regen, is well owning.
Though, up to level 26 he was a pain, believe it or not due to lack of damage!
BS has a long recharge time which means that their slow to get off the ground, really you do want to take Hasten and slot maybe 1 -recharge in to each attack.
Other than that its a versatile set, slice/Whirling Sword/Headsplitter all have an Cone or AoE component to them, so when lovely nemesis soldiers line up i salivate..
Hit BU and target the middle man, Headsplitter-Slice maybe a Whirling Sword to drop the thoughs that were not critted.. Did I mention the crit damage of head splitter? OUCH! I reckon at level 50 with BU maybe some other damage buffs 1000 damage is far from impossible, though this is not based on any numbers that will no doubt bombared me now!
The lack of status effects is a bit poo, lots of knockup from Disembowel, dont really see Head Splitter second effect as the mobs dead anyways..
Stay Broad Sword and enjoy.
Oh and I am the only BS'er to spec out Parry, something I'll talk about later..
K
Parry can be an acquired taste, as the damage isn't that great, but the def buff, especially on a Regen, makes it worth it IMO. Set it to auto, so whenever you change target it fires off automatically.
Depending on mob type, headsplitter with BU+Crit can often give you 350-400+the crit on top. however, it does need foes weak to lethal damage. Anything resistant to ir and you'll only be doing 200-250 damage, even with buildup.

Every single power? Even Dull Pain? Sorry but I think you'll find that your end problems may not be primarily be coming from your invunerability set. I have 1 slotted end redux on temp invun, unyielding and invincibility and I very very rarely have an end crash.

BS/Regen is good, though I'm really not a fan of the /regen set myself and deleted mine several months ago

Its not as much a case of what DA has, its a case of what they dont have, ie. resistance against common types of damage.
Fear and stun toggles, while nice, are counteracted relatively easy with break frees and obviously in team pvp support buffs completely nullify them in most cases. Stealth they dont get enough. Perception, fear and end drain resistances are nice but it simply boils down to that they cant take much damage from dedicated damagedealers. Whatever buffs you apply to them in team PvP, would make another secondary even stronger. Im sorry, thats just how it is.
Hi, i hope you guyz can help me out, i want to make another scrapper mainly a PVP Base scrapper, i allready have a 50 Ma/Regen so i wanted to try another but - Which secondary to take i have 0 idea, i do know that i want Broad Sword as my Primary (simply beacuse it seems to be the strongest attacks) and i was going to Take Dark as the secondary because it offers defence to allmost everything, but from looking @ the powers it seems i will have to be constantly switching togles (unless i keep the sheilds on permanently and strugle with End) i also thaught of super reflex mainly because most powers are allways on & i thaught that would be good for endurance??
i dont know about invincabilitly because of endurance isues again, so i'm posting this hoping you guyz can help me decide which secondary to take because from my past posts asking for tips it has saved me valuable respecs.
THX for any tip's & advice they will all be taken into consideration.
