RAD/ Defenders in PvP

...how are they stacking up in Zone, Arena, Duels?

Been working on one, wondering if I should actually build a PvP build, or just go in with the "eh, lost either way, just keep this build for the fun of it"approach.

From what little Arena experience I have, they seem good in 8vs8. You will be calling targets.

What's the secondary?

You're not necessarily calling targets, just need to get your debuff off before the countdown for the spike finishes.

As for Rad/ on defenders, its a mixed bag. Not having the perception from Leadership because you needed phase kind of hurts the AT.

Vert does well on his though, so it depends on the player, same as about every AT.

Not having perception on your own isn't as big a deal in a team match where your Emps should be having CM on you all the time (one CM gets you just about to the perception cap IIRC). It's in dueling, small-team, and zone situations where having to choose is really the problem and it's why Corruptors are better than Defenders for just about anything PvP-wise these days (Rad notwithstanding).

Didn't realize the +perc was that high in CM. Sounds good though. I still like having my own forms of +perc as Emps are made to be disrupted.
