ok i'm fairly new to pvp, I made a WP/SS tank for pvp and i like it, in RV i do good, could take a bunch of damage and dish out a decnet amount, but i want to know how should i slot this toon because when i arena people i seem to get the crap kicked out of me because i have no healing powers,

any advice on that?

and also my second question.

Is a Rad/MM Blaster good for pvp?

WP is just not a very good set for PvP, exactly because it doesn't have a heal. Not much you can do other than reroll.

Rad/MM is playable, but nowhere near top tier. Psy/EM is by far #1 currently.

A willpower tank can be decent because you can fairly easily turn it into a massive bag of HP. While it's not super tough to bring down with a debuffer, it can be troublesome if it's just one or two damage dealers. And even though they'll eventually get you down, it'll take too long to make it worthwhile. In the time it takes to bring a WP tank down a team couldve already taken out two or maybe even three squishies. That said, I personally think elec is better, but you'll do just fine with a WP. And SS is great if you can get double stacked rage followed by Hurl and KO Blow. (Keep in mind this does not apply to scrappers. I agree that WP scrappers are lol)

WP is good for zone PvP where spikes are subtle and takes time to complete. WP is also good for fight clubs where damage is taken over time. WP is not good vs loaded damage (commonly found in organized PvP) and it's not good vs debuffs (which is common in PvP) SS is good for taunting since rage has +tohit. SS is good for attacking since rage has +dmg and hurl is ranged.

thank you for your replys.

I want to make a good pvp tank which is also good in duels, so what do you think about a Electric/Energy Melee tank, or an Elec/SS tank which of the 2 would you perfer?

Between the two, Elec/SS. Rage is really that good.


"the reason there are so many sarcastic pvpers is we already had a better version of pvp taken away from us to appease bad players. Back then we chuckled at how bad players came here and whined. If we knew that was the actual voice devs would listen to instead of informed, educated players we probably would have been bigger dicks back then." -ConFlict

Elec is just nasty, I was just commenting on WP, I have seen a few WP brutes that are insane. But not everyone has 14bil inf to waste on a toon that is only good vs a few other AT's
