What AT troubles you in PvP?

I'm teh über, nothing troubles me !
Seriously, this is too broad. Sometimes one power pick makes all the difference. For example, in zone pvp I don't fear any scrapper unless they have the munitions EPP... if they do, my cor and my dom are toast against them.
Depends of the zone too. In arena for example, everyone can have 6 webnades, and it's a smaller space when you're supposed to fight to win. I don't fear controllers in zones, but in a 1vs1 or 2vs2 arena fight they're tough opponents. In Siren's call my villains fear emps more than anything, mainly because CM, Fort (and Invis sup / invis for ill/emp) renders almost everything non-optimized villains can do at that level useless.
Then you have large arena fights... here I fear /son defenders, ice and fire blasters more than anything (the first for all that -res they can stack, the second for the huge damage they can do at range).
Meh, in the rare occasions I wander into the zones with my scrapper (50 DM/inv/dark mastery) nothing much bothers me. Rad corruptors I tend not to chase after too much, I have to admit, but anything else is fair game for a challenge when I am in the mood.

Nothings troubles me, 'coz i won't step into the PvP zones for picking up fights. But i am wondering how they look like so i can take a tour with Knightly in there. Maybe after i reach 50 i will get into there, i mean after i learn an AT good.
Hmmm when you invisible there is no way to others detect you right?
Well back before the controller nerf there wasnt really anything i was worried about in 1v1, however now its all a different matter. I might not have to worry about getting slaughtered by scrappers, brutes and tanks since i can mez them up bad, i just cant finish the job now since all my damage output is gone

Perception: no (but im not really worried about stalkers anyway, its called not standing still!)
i'm not picky about what i come up against in PvP if it moves it's getting punched but to answer the OP's question my biggest trouble is Scrappers mainly /regen

Most of the time I end up PvPing with my sonic/kin corruptor. With this toon I eat tanks and scrappers for breakfast, but controllers can be quite bothersome.
So, when I see that the opposition features too many controllers I tend to log to one of my other alts... Well, I guess that´s an advantage of extreme altitis. 
If it has eyes, you can blind it, if it has blood, you can make it bleed, if it has a mouth, you can make it scream.
Stalkers bothered me, until I worked out how to get rid of them.
Dominators bother me and I've not seen a way to defend against what bothers me about them aside from teaming.
Teamed with the right toons, I doubt anything would bother me, but I have no reason to be in a PvP Zone in a team.

As someone who has played a dom in PvP, you best defense is either a quick kill or to simply tough it out until Domination wears off and they run out of end.
I really should do something about this signature.
my granits build almost exclusively for the rsf so got a few strange power selection like leadership pool normaly handles himself ok in pvp scrapers being my bigest problem just dont have the end recovery to outlast them some well built trollers can coz me alot of problems as well
There isnt a problem on earth that cant be solved with the proper aplication of hi explosive's

Hit em hard and fast as soon as you see em, thats my way of dealing with them, get in one of oyur own holds if you got it and they are easy pickings... if not them break frees
Yes, undoubtedly. I said they bothered me. Being slowed to oblivion so I can't attack or move and then burned to death bothers me. Once in that state, I'm not sure I have any capability to defnd against it, since it's already happened.
This is why Stalkers don't really bother me. Even if they manage to kill me, which is less likely these days, I find a sudden death less bothering than being mezzed to death. You know that thing about Dominators and Controllers being sadists? I'm not that much of a masochist.

If that's the same instance of slowing and burning you've been talking about elsewhere, when Syn and I attacked you, your problem is Corruptors, not Dominators. It's the debuffs giving you trouble. A couple of Dominator powersets can do some real slowing and other debuffs secondary to their attacks, but it's not the AT's overall strength.

Okay, UN, I have problems with Corrupters, not Dominators. 
Look, I have one Corrupter and no Doms at the moment, like I know the powersets. Slowing just sounded more of a Domy power.
And it was that incident I was thinking of, yes. It reminded me how much I hate being mezzed (or similar) to death.
My first ever PvP experience in CoH was when I got zapped by a Controller in Warburg (had to be a controller, there were no villains at that level then. He got through Integration with three hits (there abouts) and I was asleep. He couldn't actually beat my base level healing rate and I had a break free anyway, but it was just one of those irritation moments when you think "that's a lousy way to go down." (And he was Illusion so I couldn't see him. I just took off at super speed and lost him.)

I did not write the post you quoted, I assumed you were responding to Cybercel and had mistaken me as the one who wrote the post you quoted.
If you look at it, it does read like you are answer me for this quote not the question in my OP

I'm going to bite back the reply to that since I'm not going to be the cause of this thread getting locked. Back on topic maybe?

In response to my post on the suggestions thread for stalkers, I was wondering, what troubles you the most?
So name your AT, and which AT(s) provide you with the most trouble. And just to make it interesting feel free to add what type of build you have(PvP, RP, PvE, or a slashie, like PvP/RP, puting the dominate one first) and if your a hero, do you have perception! (try and stick to your main pvp alt I guess you can put more if you have one pvp main per sever :P, and no "I'm teh uber, nothin troubles me!")
So:
UltraNova
AT:Blaster
Build:PvP/PvE
Perc: No
Troubles with: Corruptors, and sometimes Brutes
