Elec/Regen or MA/Regen in pvp?

I've dueled a purpled MA/Regen/Force with my Psi/EM and I was thoroughly impressed, but I wonder if MA/ will still be as useful against opponents running sonic or thermal buffs as Elec/ might be since it's damage type is varied?

All thoughts and input is welcomed.

Thanks.

Fire I think still has top damage as far as zones go with GFS crits hitting like a truck. MA I'd probably put in second, EC is nice with the stun.

Regen is still the secondary to go for.

You won't run into a lot of therms or sonics who still buff with shields anymore. Even then, with DR curves, a squishy isn't going to benefit from them much at all.

For your attacks just make sure you have at least two procs in each of them, then slot for recharge, probably some acc and HP as well. Get web nades/targeting drone/phase shift and you'll be set.

Don't forget that there is global resist now. Damage type no longer matters as much as damage numbers do. MA and Elec both have a stun which is useful, but MA's stun is a guarantee every shot.

And Liberty is correct, most don't actually use the buffs anymore, since resist buffing a squishy grants anywhere from a 2% to .2% resist buff.

Personally I'd go with MA, but that's just because I have run with a MA/Regen as my namesake since Issue 2.
