I am aware that BS is supposed to be better than Katane but Im just wondering if kat is still good enough to do pretty well in pvp

yep, it's not worthless. It's a lot like Martial arts. Except it has divine avalanche...

What do you mean by that? MA is one of the top scrapper primaries for PvP ATM. To the OP, I was deciding to make a MA or Katana and picked MA because I just wasnt feeling the whole sword thing. Good luck though

Awright, another Fotm scrapper coming soon!

Well, my other pvp'r is a DM/invuln which is pretty un-Fotm......and if i really wanted to make a fotm i woulda gone BS/regen. Besides, it's pretty hard to do well with anythingg except the popular builds which is a shame

Don't be discouraged by people calling you "FoTM". People who do are generaly bad.

Despite what people will tell you: Don't pick up Divine Avalanche (unless you have an extra power to chose). Why?
a. The defense it provides is only to melee attacks - meaning it would be entirely useless against ranged toons (most of the opponents you will encounter are going to be ranged).
b. You shouldn't need it against melee toons. Regen when competently played is unkillable in 1v1s. The weakpoint of a Kat/Regen isn't survival - its weakness is inconsistent damage. By spamming Divine Avalanche you weaken your already inconsistent damage.

Good luck with your build. Have fun on that Kat/Regen. My first toon (and my main from i2-i9) was a Kat/Regen - I had a blast on that thing

As an append I tend to call people FOTMers in zone in order to throw off their game.

I'd roll a FOTM if I really wanted to compete in PvP. There are builds that work and builds that don't in competitive PvP. That's the nature of the game for now.

Yeah i put a large lump of cash in and he is pretty fun. So far my only deaths have been going against a cold corr and mind dom at the same time. (I havent really had much time to pvp yet though)

Oh yeah, I already knew not to take DA but thx for the tip Only reason i would take it would be to make it easier for the toon to solo AVs in addition to pvp
