Pvp info needed for noob

Hey guys,

My wife and I have started playing again together and I have started thinking about what we could play together when we felt like pvping. We would always play together, play mostly zone pvp, prefer playing blue side but have most of my money redside lol.....want something that we can work together with to get some fun kills so she enjoys it and we can play more lol :P

Any suggestions?

Two blasters for spike kills?

a blaster teamed with pretty much anything would work. I still prefer the good ol' blaster emp combo, but I am old fashioned.

2 corrupters with ally heal (pain and therm), 2 stalkers, blaster and emp are my top three favorites.

I usually run around with an emp while i'm on my blaster its good fun, I'd go for that combo. I still die a lot, but thats down to me just being crap.

I actually like blaster/scrapper, blaster/blaster, or blaster/troller.

Then again, I like PvPing on weird builds, so perhaps my advice is suspect.

for zones:
devices blaster (not including ice) + emp troller with the emp having some decent dmg
spines/regen/weapons scrapper + therm or rad troller
psi,fire,sonic,or rad/EM blaster + Fire/SS tank with taunt

elec/therm corr + sonic/pain corr with one corr having webnade
sonic/therm corr + mind/fire dom corr having webnade
SS/fire brute + sonic/therm brute having taunt and webnade
two spines/WP stalkers with BU AS and throw shark, but that might get boring fast.

there are more duoing combos but these are very effective overall and simple enough to use for zone pvp. Also all combos need to spec into either phase or hibernate as well. GLHF.

Yea the wife even mentioned needing a Phase Shift power and she hasn't even play PvP before lol

I like the concept of two blasters or two stalkers for quick kills .... but she has a high level Plant/Emp controller that she is good with and I have a long ranged Arch/Eng Blaster ... could they work well together for Zones? What is the secret of Blaster/Emp combo's?.... just buffs and heals?

If we went with two blasters or two stalker ... any particular combo's to look at?

Thanks for the info so far though

two spines/*/sharks stalkers will take down anything short of a tank in zone if well coordinated.

high hp scrappers can generally only survive one barrage of double AS + impale + placate + sharks (the order of the last 3 may vary depending on the resiliency of your target).

Yes archery has excellent burst dmg and its good that your EM, and with an emps fort and AB it can pump out loads of DPS. Plant is a decent controll set vs melee. so if she keeps you buffed and healed and u fight near her drop downs things should go smoothly. Tell her to avoid using long animation time attacks near the ground, try to lay down well slotted carrion creepers vs brutes and stalkers, and avoid dominators by running toward base.

As an Emp she has to run from everyone in the zone, as a blaster you have to switch targets super fast as in the only defense ur wife has is ur offense. So if you see a dom or corr attacking her you need to swtich to that target and either quickly kill him or make them run and phase to save ur wife. In zone PvP it's good to test the waters kinda get an idea of where the baddies are and determine a safe root back to base when you guys are outnumbered. If there's a lot going on, as in your base is being camped, it's recommended that you invite players onto your team and organize ur damage and call targets to spike (it's a good idea to bind a key to call spike targets). Villains have healers to... try to kill them or make them phase before killing their damage toons. If they phase start to dmg to their doms or corrs, when their healers come out of phase go back to killing the healer. try to kill corrs first, then doms, stalkers/brutes, and last MMs. most MMs can be ignored.

I aggree with Black Barrier, Stalkers would definalty be a great way for you guys to get started! Even a Brute/Stalker combo is effective. The Brute can get the attention of your target and wen they are least expecting it AS!!! anyway unless you really get into it that what i would do. Builds for a Brute and Stalker Combo would have to be SS/WP or EM/WP and for the Stalker EM/Nin. Thats what i would run anyway

uhmm no...WP is horrible on a brutes/tanks/scrapps...invuln or fire brute and a WP or regen stalker....SS brute and Spines or Energy melee or elec melee stalker..end of story

Nin stalkers can be nice if u r vicious like barrier but they take a big investment
