i think you would be ok going ar/therm/mace HE, Web, runaway then come back after they start complaing HE, web and run. U have no aim but at least burst has a bit of -def on it. WHen drained use ur gun. Also why not pistols? it's animation times are better and it has dots.

sad thing is u need to get bean bag for those toggle debuffs tho it doesn't do any dmg like cosmic burst. and ingnite does decent dmg in pvp for some reason. U might make for a good MM killer at best.

to the OP, you seem like a nice person so take my advice, it takes 50+ hrs to finish a build(atleast that's how long it took me i know i'm slow) with accolades and IOs, and for what, to be cutesy or original? it really isn't worth the time and it will be frustrating to find out the hard way that AR is just too limiting in what it can do that you wont win anything(especially not 50/50). I'm not saying roll a fotm, just roll something that atleast has some potential.

if you are bored of winning, sure go ahead. but if you think people dont play AR because its hard to master youre going to end up disappointed. m3z's video is proof, alot of us have used AR and know its a waste of time. that includes myself.

p.s. reppin dahjee as your hero might increase trolls in your many pvp question threads, just sayin.

Listin guy, I'm not trolling u for once.


Just dont bother making ar/ anything. There are a few ppl who pvpd with ar but they dont do it by personal choice knowing that its bad. The few ppl already had ar back in the day when the game first launch.


The dumbest thing in this game is too take something that has been proven to be bad or subpar and try to make it good, there are reasons its bad. Not only does it have no Aim it has no tier 3 Single Target attack. Look at every other blaster set and check out there attack chains. Plus they do more damage and they dont have draw times and they dont only do smash/lethal. This is just a fact no matter what you pair ar with youll be much better off taking psy, fire, rad, ice anything really is better than ar even archery and energy.

ice bolt, ice blast, bitter ice blast
flares, fire blast, blaze
neutrino bolt, x-ray beam, cosmic burst
psionic dart, mental blast, tk blast, will dom
Burst, Slug



also i love ar i think its a unique set it just doesnt work in pvp.

One thing I just thought of though, what about AR/Kin?

AR doesnt have an aim power therefore sucks in terms of damage, kins damage boosts would make up for that to some extent however you would have less defencive power because of it since kin has no armor type boost to either res or defence and no -res debuff.

Another idea I had, how about power boost -> soul storm -> Ignite combo? power boost and slotted soul storm is a 5.5s hold, whilst ignite is a 10s DoT it still would hit around half of that not including animation time and you could probably still get one more shot off whilst there under hold still.

Either that or power boost -> soul storm -> full auto? can get the full animation in then without being hit and damage isnt that bad either.

With kin you could extend that to FS -> Syphon power -> power boost -> soul storm -> full auto/ignite as well... since there held it would also be less resisted right?
Learn the mechanics of PvP before posting this kind of trash on the forums, Con is the only one taking you seriously and hes giving you advice and you decide to ignore him.

Edit: I just saw the build you posted, srsly?

Im empathetic i dont wanna see a waste of effort and time so here's a build i highly recommend you follow the number of slots in each power. enhancers is up to u and ur budget tho k GL.

I have an AR/EM from before pvp existed I play once in a while for amusement. There isn't much point in doing anything but spamming burst/slug unless you come up against an mm, imo. Under i13 rules you can put out enough damage to eventually kill someone, but it will take a while and they have plenty of time to react.

Cold would probably work the best with it since you can sorta keep them around longer as well as stuff their regen and heal rate. Yes, regen rate matters somewhat with AR. I'd slot procs, damage and hold and get some range in burst/slug.

Its not going to be great though, and like I believe mez said, it will be quite an investment.

Well thanks for all the comments guys

The plan has been put on hold for now at least since the themed team we were planning on running isnt going anymore so if the PvE side theres no reason to play it either theres not much point on making it for PvP
