Sonic/Cold Corruptor PvP Advice

good choice of powers.
Thanks for the feedback BB.
I tried to do my homework first and figure out what it was I wanted to bring to the table in order to narrow the focus.
My only concern at this point is my defense. Should I try to find a way to up my defense, or will playstyle (invis., movement, phase shift, etc.) and high hit points help mitigate any incoming damage?
Thanks!

keep mace.
a cold with perception, phase and a tray of greens is pretty beastly.
also focused acc has well, a nice acc bonus, which helps cut through elusivity, hence making it a hell of a lot nicer than tactics. and with heat loss you can afford to run FA easily.

Thanks. I was wondering about Tactics vs. Focused Accuracy. The only other benefit I could see from Tactics was the team buff, but since I don't plan to stay in one spot more than a split second, that was mute.|

I was looking at the Leviathan vs. Mace Mastery and it mostly boiled down to play style. But I also liked the slow component in the Web Cocoon hold power.

Ah i see now. When i compare builds from freedom to guardian they seem quite different than builds on guardian. On my dark/cold i have speed leaping fitness leadership and mako. I guess playing on a low pvp population server hi ernate doesnt seem bad to get because im regening and recovering and theres rarely anyone waiting for me.

you also play a dark/cold. which pretty much requires one the longest periods of attrition in the game when it comes to dueling (i can't count how many duels i've been in when i get the first kill in the 8th minute). mako makes a bit more sense then.|

it also comes down to what you're fighting. i get a lot of downies e-raged very very often, and since they mostly play regins, SRs, bad tanks and so on, the to-hit and acc bonus from focused acc is VERY much worth it. i also spam life drain more than most other dark/cold's i've seen play.
also, on a heavy zone build though, like my fire/cold, and this sonic/cold (i assume), you really really want maximum mobility and maximum acc to tear through downie-land.
but a drawback: if you have phase, dueling therms is auto-lose. i don't do it on my colds.
Oh ok thx much for the tip

You assume correctly! This will mainly will be for zone/team pvp. I've had some cool PvP'rs email me some edits. One of the main edits (besides some enhancement edits) I am going to make power wise is switching out the Web Cocoon for Screech.|

But my next Corruptor is definitely going to be a Therm.

a -fly is pretty much mandatory in pvp, at least freedom-side with all teh downie fliers.
Heyas.
This is my first PvP build and could use some advice and any suggestions.
This Sonic/Cold Corr. will team PvP and mainly duo with an Energy/Elec. Stalker. I want to mainly debuff, slow/hold and some damage. I've tried to keep the hp's and movement up. I mainly want to move in and do a debuff chain and move out for the Stalker to do his thing and move back in for the Scourge.
Let me know if I'm on the right track or am totally off base. I really have enjoyed PvP (getting my LoL PvE toons ganked) so far and am ready to devote some time in the PvP community. Any help is appreciated, and please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks!!
