Advice for a returning pvper

So I've come back to the game after a 8-9 month or so break. I left around the time DR for pvp came in, and I'm working out how best to get back into the swing of things.


I'd rather use one of my old, already IO'd and leveled to a degree toons rather then start fresh so I thought I'd see what'd handle well. I've been trying them out but my play times mean I don't get as much pvp as I'd like. Looking at casual stuff, zones, duels, a little kickball when I can find it.

I've got:

Em/regen stalker
Dark/ninja stalker
Ice/energy dom
Necro/TA MM

All with some amount of IOing, I don't have the time or patience to play the market.

Also got a Fire/fire tanker and Stone/Inv brute, but not expecting much from them. On the other hand, I hear elec/ melee is good for stalkers in pvp now so I guess a lot has changed...

A few other toons below 50, most notably a mind/elec dom and son/rad corr, but I'd prefer to roll with someone who wont need more leveling.


Any advice much appreciated.


Here you come with a stupid name like Fixer - brutalkillz_

hmmm i am also coming from a 6 monthis break but i pvp somewhat. your EM/Regen should still own and same with the dark/ninja stalker. the ice dominator would be better with fire(i hear /fire is the best) but im sure itd still work well it jsut wont be the UBERist. and i like MMs with healz but thats just me, idk. i think itd be better with thermal radiation, dark, or pain dom... but remember im noo expert.the fire tanker can be good in pvp(i hear fire aura is nerfed to hell compared to what it was before, but this is what i hear), it all matters about the build. and im pretty sure that stone melee sux in pvp... according to mids, ss and EM have supieror damage in pvp. but dont base ur decisions on this one opinion... wait for more posts

The EM/Regen is probably your best bet (i.e. it will be cheapest to bring up to date with the I13 changes). EM isn't particularly great anymore thanks to free resistance for just about everyone, and the Energy Transfer nerf a while before that, but it's still decent. As a friendly reminder, zone PvP is retarded with the changes.

dark/nin's better than em/regin in many situations, but it's also a lot more expensive.
