why katana ? pvp is about burst and broadsword is the better of the two in burst

[/ QUOTE ]Concept? Or maybe he just likes katanas better than broadswords.
plus i find BS animation times suck
well its not a really good idea to use concept ideas in pvp imo.
Sadly, nimmer is right 
katana is a primary to avoid in PvP in terms of practise

Seen plenty of Katana/SRs in PvP lately.
@Lukas
But I bet you haven't seen them killing anything, tho. Thing is, vs a kat/ that doesnt use rages my rad troller or defender can just stand with small healing aura on auto completely safe forever. Katana has a too low dmg burst, it's lethal damage -really highly resisted-, lacks of mez and has no range

@Rooks
"You should come inside the box... Then you'll know what I mean."
I'm guessing from the powerset selection and build you are not keen on winning in pvp?
Well it is the scrapper forum . . .
but I always had more fun with katana than broadsword

If you want to be the roxxor who pwns the most of players, it's not a really good idea, yes. But in this case, don't do a scrapper, do a fire (or psi)/energy blaster (or maybe an ice/rad troller) and join the cohorts of clones.
Else, you can also pvp for fun and/or challenge and so use the pools you want.
Of course you can, and be wasted 20 times in a row and say PvP is boring

There's always a way to get some victories, even with /dark armor, for instance. Or with a Kheldian (yes, I saw it with my eyes ^^ ). But it requires patience and practice.
And each victory gives the pride to win without being a roxxor clone whose pools naturally pwns the most of the others (because of their extreme and/or non-resisted damages, because of their stacked stun, because of their very big debuffs...).
True, there's always a way to exploit the opponent being a one-trick-pony/moron. Simple ways like not standing still, for example. Stalkers' AS is pretty much removed from your threat list if you simply don't stand still.

And sad part is, because of those reasons, you will never ever get a single kill on someone that knows slightly what he is doing

Yes, yes... It's not because you say it that it's true, you know ?
You are free to do your roxxor if you want, but let the ones who are looking for advises on more original builds get answers.

You're wrong. I pvp with a stone/stone brute. You know, the association of pools which is sooo popular that you see it everywhere in pvp ? And yet I'm really not ridiculous in arena or pvp zones. Rads are very boring (especially rad/psi and rad/sonic), but except against them, I success to kill (and win).
Kill and win?? vs who?? afk guys? Cause even then I'd find it amazing you could kill anything with that toon

With tp, tp foe, a stun (fault), a mag 4 hold (seismic smash), and 2 ranged attacks, it's possible. It's not often easy (tp/tp foe would need some improvements), force of nature is sometimes necessary, but it's possible.
And not only against afk guys or pvp noobies ^^
I think that a katana/fire is easier to use that my brute 
Not really, your brute has potentially more damage and two detoggling mezzes... and I still think a stone/stone brute can only kill afk guys or pvp noobies, as you call them

Against a ranged at or in group pvp, a brute deals less damages than a tank (and much less than a scrapper), due to its fury at 0 (except against illu trollers or mms). Against a melee at, you're right, but the lack of mobility is really annoying.
And you can think what you want, I know what I do ^^
So what if it deals less damage? a troller can just stand with healing aura on forever vs a kat scrapper as I said before, so if it can't even kill a merely standing squishy, what good is it for pvp at all?

It's the brute, which deals less damage. Not the scrapper ^^

But basically, is a basic PvP build for a Katana/Firey Aura, with fighting pool for a little added res.
