Stone used to be okay before I13, but the DPA changes kinda wrecked it.

Gotta go with a max range/recharge specced peacebringer.
DM/ scraps or brutes.
AR/Dark Corruptor with TP Foe.
Actually was just going to say I wanna change my vote to */dark armor just because of the fun you can have with those psy/em blasters

Mag 3 VS Mag 4 Hold? *sigh*
archery blasters.
I aggree that Stone Melee is a little underused/rated even B4 i13 when Seismic Smashes mag 4 ment something... it is also a little faster on the fury (if you can get that to happen in pvp 8P).
.... but SS's KO blow also has almost twice the the range going for it also...thats big IMO.

procc'd out blazing arrow is kinda ridiculous actually...how did this get 80ft range, innate acc buff, 2nd highest damage, and have a cast time under 2 secs...it puts shout,cb and blaze to shame.|

This is an underused and underated pvp toon thread not an fotm thread like you're probably used to.
I don't think anyone is trying to deny archery is good, as a matter of fact, most blasters (even ice) are capable of dealing decent ranged damage and are playable as long as you're not a hardcore min-maxer. Thus I wouldn't put blaster on that list. For casual stuff and messing around I'd have to say PBs are the most underrated. They have decent damage and very good survivability.

only reason i mentioned archery blaster is because its the only blaster i've seen that can reliably deal with and overcome dark's heal (not only due to its damage potential, but because of its combination of range, acc, rech) - cant say that about psi/em blasters, sonic/em blasters, fire/fire doms etc.

From my experience, in other words, from what I have seen in Freedom, in arena, in Pocket D, and specifically for duels, I will give my vote to earth/energy dominator. I think the lack of them in arena, or hanging around in pocket D looking for duels, just the absence of them when I am there makes me feel they are being underused and perhaps underrated.
Another toon, for dueling 1 vs 1, which I have rarely seen (although I see them often for team arena) is illusion/emp. I have seen in pocket D a certain illusion/emp character who had made his build for dueling, he was thrashing psy/em blasters, doms, corruptors (even thermals), and I thought, since then, it is underrated or underused for duels, and yet, it can be effective. Never again have I seen in Freedom an Ill/emp for duels.
Repeat Offenders forever !
Make all IO's available in Paragon Market! NCSoft, the chinese are making BIG money selling influence and other stuff in the game. Best way to stop them = make the paragon market a place to buy all IO's and perhaps other things as well.
I dont think I have ever seen an Ill/emp in game, nevermind in PvP

Duel me.
I will work on my sig pic more when I have time.

any well built dom beats elec/therms 1 cuz they have the dmg now, 2 domination refills all end. besides, informed players know excactly what earth can do so earth is not underrated especially when the general consensus ranks it where it fits. Nrg also has underperforming dmg and does not make up for it with its PB and KB vs high end builds so it is also usually rated where it belongs. I'd say that the combo earth/nrg or even /ice has some synergy in pvp but against good players it can be easily countered.

As the title says, what would you all say is the most underused and underated pvp charecter?
my vote would probably be along the lines of a stone melee brute/tanker. People compare it to super strength and because rage is up perma they go there instead, which is a fair point but stone doesnt perform badly at all, although admittedly SS may play better it does have its plus points.
It has a mag 4 hold in seismic smash on a 20s recharge where as SS has a mag 3 in KO Blow and has a 25s recharge. The two hammers deal more damage than SS first two attacks plus it still has build up which even though its not perma its still good when its up. Tremor isnt bad either. Double stacked rage does make it look like crap though when you only have build up but as a primary its pretty solid.
