I was in RV a few days ago and I was on my Dom and dueled a DM/SD scrapper. After his first couple of attacks I was not able to hit him any more and I died. I told him I will be back and got my EM/WP/Mace brute with Focus accuracy and he has 49% in accuracy bonus and the same thing happen... I was not able to hit him after a few hits. After this event I pulled my DM/SD/Soul brute off the shelf and want to do a PvP build. Does anyone have a good build I can use for ideas?

I logged onto a hero and looked at his build and seen that he has Speed, Leaping, Fitness and Fighting power pools. The cool thing about it is that I am a 60 month vent and dont need to get Combat jump.

Thanks for the help..









P.S. I am looking for a Dueling Build and Zone Build (Teams only) and maybe some kickball, etc....

I'm really surprised DM/SD performed that well in PvP.

As far as I know, Shield is not a good PvP set. This is because powers like focused accuracy, kismet +to-hit and tactics can make short work of your defenses. On top of that, you have diminishing returns, which means that while you're softcapped on that shielder in PvE, you aren't in PvP.

With that said, you do have decent tools if you rely on One With the Shield for more resistance. You can get decent resistance numbers, but I just don't see shield being a good competitor. Throw in some meager to-hit debuffs and you'll be alright, providing your enemy isn't kiting you.

According to mids (before DR) my DM/SD has darkest night slotted with 3 enzymes and it gives a -16.4% to hit and Touch of Fear slotted with 3 Lyso is -17.6% to hit.... that will be a lot of missing going on there.
