Ranged Villain Choice Help Request

Hi there! I've just finished leveling a Stalker to 50 that might or might not be viable in PvP, and I'm on the verge of getting my just-because-it's-awesome Claws/Elec Brute to 50, as well. I'd like to plan in advance for my next toon to ensure that it'll be able to fight in PvP, even if it isn't the best.

Since I already have a melee toon that I can fight with in PvP (I took him into RV and Warburg last night and had a blast, though I lost plenty), I was wanting to make a ranged PvP villain. Either a Corrupter or a Dominator would be fine, but I'd like to make something that isn't utilizing any exploit which can be fixed, as well as avoid a Rad/Ice because I believe it'll eventually be nerfed somehow.

I suppose I could make a MM, too, but I have no idea how I could make a PvP MM.

Just from guessing and reading, I made a list of sorts, but please feel free to make your own suggestions.

- Ice/Ice Dom

- Archery/Traps Corr

- Mind/Energy Dom

- Bots/Poison MM

- Thugs/FF MM

...And that's all I can think of, really. Any thoughts?


Too many alts to list.

The mind/nrg is a solid toon. Thugs ff would be decent in the right settings without needing much in the way of ios. Bots poison is usable as well.


Duel me.
I will work on my sig pic more when I have time.

if you make an ice/ice dom be aware that you will not kill a single thing that's not a dumb regen or a horrible player.

mine's spec'd for kickball disruption and it does a fine job at that.

of all those choices, the most powerful within the current system is the mind/nrg dom.

Oops sorry, should have trimmed the quote more. Yeah, the rad/ice part. What would be nerfed??? Don't see anything in Rad or Ice that is game breaking. Psi oth...

He could have said defenders then, and that would be lol. But saying rad ice specifically makes my eyebrow raise.

Thanks for the opinions. I saw a Thugs/Pain MM listed by Psyrene, and that got me interested. What exactly would a Thugs/Pain bring in terms of damage and protection? I'm not very familiar with /Pain.
