Elec/Regen or Kat? Scrapper

I need a good fiteclub/arena melee duel toon. I'm talking melee vs melee not ranged. So, elec has all that -end stuff and kat has all that +def and quick dmg stuff...so...which is better? I mainly want something that can take out BS/regen scrappers. I have my own BS/regen lvl 50 also...but i hear katana is deadly

also, im not familiar which either one, so what should i take from those?

In an actual duel, no scrapper should be able to kill another scrapper, unless the one dying is really bad. In a "no moving no insp tru warier" type duel, it doesn't matter. Just spend more money on your build than your opponent, and you win automatically.

I have a kat/ regen
I have never done the fire klub thing
but I have spent over two billion on him with 3 purples 3 luck of the hampers blah blah blah
and yeah once I learned how to pvp well now it is not even a fair fight in 1vs 1

katana can slot achilles heel 20% neg resist profs in most attack
proc of same do not stack but golden dragon can take the gladiator pvp purple neg resist and that will stack for an occassional 40% res rebuff

and it only cost 800 million

so like it has been said if you spend more than your opponent and hit the most efficient cycle of attacks and heal you will never lose

but it about as much fun as doing 15 min of math homework since it really is all down to the math at thatnpoint

of couse a lot of ppl like drag racing which is all about spending tons of mono to go 1 vs 1 in a boring straight line

and some like NASCAR which is go real fast and turn left now repeat for 500 miles
that would be pve or farming

and some likes drive like speed racer in the Mach 5 and jump their car over things and cut thru trees and drive through volcanos and take smack to the car acrobatic team
that is zone pvp and kick ball

to each their own

As for me I am turning in my drag racer and talking to Pops ans Sparky about how to best build my very own Mach 5

Adventure's waiting up ahead
Go me racer
Go me Racer
Go me racer Go-o

Elec/Regen, it is a surprisingly powerful combination and you can slot the placate proc in your attacks!

I have both a 50 elec/regen and a kat/regen as you can see in my sig, while neither were made to be tru wryrs, because I do enjoy real pvp, I can honestly tell you that kat goes a long way in duels, stacking DA and you've won... Elec has mad burst dmg, but if you're fighting a BS (as you said you want to), and they stack parry enough you're not likely to win the match... Or so I find, so I took phase shift for the oh sh** moments, and for the 'ROFL PHASE' comments in duels. ^^

Go elec/regen. If your opponent has bad end aNd its a no insp duel. Its an easy win for you

Katana is better then Electric hands down. Slotting res procs, buff defense, good dps, it has all of the right tools to win.

Katana is pretty terrible now. Trust me. Go Fire or Elec.

He said fiteklub. Divine avalanche, a power you wouldn't touch in zone pvp, is great for standing in front of each other and mashing buttons.

Lol, true. Even still, it seems like a bit of overkill on survivability.

Regen is actually not that survivable when it comes to just standing in 1 spot. A few strong hits in a row can put you in a lot of trouble. It's the moving around that lets regin become unbettable, since it gives you the few precious seconds to regin yur healthz.

Think of it as fighting an AV. You'd be dumb to skip parry/DA in that case, and it's actually the one power that allowed my BS/regin to fight AV's back when I used to PvE. Without it, I was getting 1-2 shotted. With it, I didn't get hit.

And fight club is like fighting an AV. Except the AV probably has more skills at CoH than a typical FC opponent :P

Yeah, I used to stand still in pvp simply because people "Expected" me to and I am a scrapper. I get the "wow you run a lot for a regen" comment a lot in zone and arena, 9/10 my kill death ratio is pretty damn good so they start wining.

Too much survivability is never enough

So? Electric is one of the lowest when it comes to ST and it's AoE is average

Saying a set is worse than another in PvP because it's true in PvE isn't a good starting point, especially with the way PvP works now.

I'm think the Elec/regen is good for Mishes or Farms build? but it Got Elec/regen is lvl 36 and I'm think maybe try out pvp with it see how it does.


Nacht Nova Thunder = Level 50 (Liberty) Dark Blaster/Storm Summoning - Defender
Nova Ninja = Level 50 (Liberty) spines/ Regeneration - Scrapper
CanadianMan = Level 50 (Liberty) Super Strength/Invulnerability - Tanker

i suppose you've witnessed every Kat/ player in CoH pvp history to make this statement valid?
