I feel your pain. Due to all the PvP changes at least 75% of my PvP toons got shelved. Luckily some still do ok in PvP. Funny thing about it is that this was supposed to level out the playing field and make all sets close to equal. Looks like a complete fail in my books.
your fire/em still should do good in zones.
I roll in RV with a fire/devices blaster and he rocks, so go give him a try again I assure you you wont be dissapointed. Fire still has respectful damage in PVP zones.
I just read posi's post about the new super sidekick and it seems the power leveling we know today will be a thing of the past when i16 hits. Better get those levels in now if you want to pl a toon.

RIP PX, GMW, and the game that used to be fun.
Still playing for reasons unknown.
Is it just me or does this game get less and less appealing day by day.
Just because they aren't the fotm anymore doesn't mean they are crap >_>
As everyone says Fire/em is still deadly, pick a toon and learn them like the back of your hand.
I know an Ice/Rad corrupter which will pwn most people, it's not a fotm but he has been pvping with it for 2 to 3 years now.
Take your Fire/EM and just auto-cue up flares with a hold proc in it and annoy everyone in pvp to death with it...pew,pew,pew.....
I've PvP'd on and off periodically ever since picking this game up shortly before CoV came out. I have a bad history, not because of the actual play session experiences (typically getting served, repeatedly), but because of a surrounding issue.
I don't expect to go in and pwn every time, far from it. Every time I roll a character intended for PvP, after my own observations and some advice, they get nerfed shortly after I hit 50. I have really bad luck that way. I also tend to play my characters to 50 since I don't know enough farmers to get PL'd to 50, nor am I on frequently enough to level quickly.
Obviously, I'm not doing something right.
Ice/EM tank: 2 weeks glory before phase change nerfs (also hurts me in PvE, gwah?!), went from decent (hey I'm not that skilled) to suckage. Toggle changes also hurt massively.
Ill/Emp controller: Meant as support, now no longer does a whole lot due to healing decay.
Fire/Em blaster: The supposed damage monster (never got him properly IO'd), deadweight due to animation-damage standardization.
Fire/Rad controller: Never was intended as a PvP chara but did decently due to the secondary, now is entirely a PvE character due to toggle changes killing rads off.
Fortunata: One of the strongest villain potentials for teams killed due to elusivity and DPA standardization. Had all of 4 days glory in RV before being curbstomped. Can now sometimes kill AFK people if they're not reg3nz.
So, I'm playing the game as the devs intended, and not enjoying it. I'm bitter because of my affinity to the characters I've poured the better part of a year getting to 50, then finding out that they no longer are functional due to system changes. If I'd farmed (or had access to an auto-lv 50 button like in guild wars for pvp specific characters) all the way, I don't think I would care.
Most of my server's zones are dead, and RV only has fiteclubs. The arena has been taken over by badge farmers.
Devs, please reevaulate your take on farming and PLing, it's quite clearly a necessary ... good? PvP is one of the only endgames this MMO has, please leave it alone. The learning curve before was steep, but it was predictable in a way. Now nobody has an idea of what's going on, or is supposed to be going on.
