my fire/elec is a highly effective pvp toon.
i've never tried to pve on it (got him to 50 about 5 days after the first proliferation issue, and pvp spec'd him about a week after).
spines/ela scrapper = don't jump.
i've been having a lot of fun kbing ela scrappers with pulse blast from my mm. yeah. it's that dumb.
don't roll a defender.
Fire/EM and Ice/EM tanks aren't to bad PvPvE
I agree with barrier, defenders are pointless in PvP now with no unresisted debuffs. I hope we get those back someday, or atleast some reason to play the characters
Want a pvp toon with some good pve usage, these come to mind.
fire/em blaster is the best blaster for pvp/pve, fire is good aoe and single target, EM is best for pvp.
Fire/SS tanker: Good damage and survivability in both pvp and pve, make sure and get earth mastery.
Spines Stalker: Spines stalkers are pretty good AoE pve and AS+impale never fails.
Mind/energy dom: good for sleeping AV's on LRSF, but any mind dom will do good in pvp, especially /fire.
Empathy: Good support PvE and PvP
Pain: Same as empathy but has potential for good damage too
SS/Fire brute: PvE is a beast farmer, pvp it has ok damage, rage and hurl is decent, make sure and pick up web mastery in pvp build.
Its been months since my fortunata/widow has been an effective pvp toon. Feels like its time for me to roll something new. I've been having a problem choosing the new toon though.
I'm fairly picky and want my new main to be able to be above average if not outstanding at most aspects of the game, be it pvp, soloing, running tfs, etc. I've had a few ideas and was looking for some input/opinions.
Note: Not looking for mids builds, just opinions on powerset combinations effectiveness in pvp/pve
Spines/ELA Scrapper
PvE: decent for teaming, nice amounts of AE for farming
PvP: high end drain protection to combat therms and elecs
Fire/Elec Dominator
PvE: decent farming and not bad for teaming either
PvP: fast activating hold in fire and end drains from elec
Dark/Psi Defender
PvE: easy to softcap def, dark/ always welcome on teams
PvP: weaker psi blaster with a heal and some debuffs
Thanks for the guidance in advance!
