PvP curious - seeking advice

Thanks in advance for the education. I know many of you would rather educate me via continual in-game deaths and that's probably the only way to really learn, but I need some advice first on my build. I've read enough to know that a Fire/SS tank is a decent toon for PvP right now. I've also read that the stone epic is favored over fire but I don't really know why. Is it the animation time vs. damage issue? It all seems backwards from what I remember a year or so ago where logically you would think the fire epic with short animation times and coupled with fiery embrace would be the way to go. In any case, I was wondering if someone could post a good starter build with IOs so that I can get a jump start on outfitting a character. The PvE side of City has pretty much collapsed into boredom and repitition for me and I see PvP as a never ending challenge with plenty of adrenaline (much as people sometimes bash PvP, my personal experience from the days where it was forced upon me in UO was that it, by far, provided the most exciting and memorable experiences -even though 95% of the time I died). That said, it is a bit of an arms race that, in general, casual players cannot generally compete on a level playing field. In any case, it has an allure and I may try it, especially in a lull between new games that I may be tempted to try.

most people chose stone epics for lolfossile it does dirty damage and it has a 80ft range which is stack like this + hurl + stone prison = 3 80 ft attacks which is good. if you build your fire tanker (which should have phase and taunt) it could be one mf'ng ***** to kill, but thats if your experience is good and its built well. I doubt you'd be getting as many kills with it as say a psi blaster, but you'll be a good tauntbot.

Not spelling a word correctly while correcting someone elses spelling = fail. Like the person above me said: "It's."

Meh, theres a difference between spelling errors and grammar mistakes that can lead to misinterpretation of sentences.

For the most part, punctuation is negligible, while spelling is of most importance for sentences to make sense.
