If you want to learn how to melt faces and collect lots of IOs go with the Fire/EM or Psy/Dev. You WILL die, but you will contribute to the zone while adding to your bankroll.
If you want to learn how to evade while still providing disruption and be a team player go with Earth/TA. Disruption is a valuable skill and evasion more so. The irony is that the more skilled you become at disruption, the more you will be the target of every Stalker and Dom you play against, which is why you need to learn evasion, which in turn allows you to be more disruptive. See how that works? Evasion in itself becomes a form of disruption.
Please just forget you even have any of those melee builds until you learn the basic mechanics of PvP. Starting with melee will teach you bad habits that are very difficult to unlearn.

Sure, for SC as long as he doesn't take Fly. Throw that placate proc in there and kills are stupid easy.

Set bonuses to build for depends on what you are playing. A general rule of thumbs is aim for +HP & 41KB Prot on any character without innate KB resistance. (E.g. Characters such as Regen or Invauln don't need to slot for KB Prot.) Different archetypes will require aiming for different set bonuses.|

If you want to fight in SC then play the Psy/Dev.
Tanker taunt is required in solo PVP as it has a -range component of 75%.
The best epic sets for the characters you listed are as follows:
Blasters: Ice Mastery
Defenders: Power Mastery
Controllers: Primal Forces
Scrapper: Weapon's Mastery
Tankers: Earth Mastery

"Forum PvP doesn't give drops. Just so all of you who participated in this thread are aware." -Mod08-
"when a stalker goes blue side, assassination strike should be renamed "bunny hugs", and a rainbow should fly out" -Harbinger-
Psi dev is a viable rv toon as well. Just saying.
Duel me.
I will work on my sig pic more when I have time.
OK, so I've got on mid's and was working on a psy/dev build for PvP. Went for the +HP, and it seemed easy to max and still have room to work for other things. Also got the -KB worked in aswell. Is the stun power that's available later on worth getting for PvP? Also was wondering what else should I try to incorporate into the build as far as set bonuses? Is this a build that I'm going to need to take fitness pool, or should I consider something else. ATM my build has speed/jumping/fitness/ and leadership. Is mid's #'s very accurate when it comes to PvP? Thanks for the help and info. . .
Wanting to try to get into PvP, but I have no idea what's a good build to start off with. I'm wanting a PvP toon on both sides but hero side to start. I don't mind making a new toon if one I have wouldn't work, but here's what I've got to work with in lvl 50's (hero side) atm
