Stalker TS is fine in your everyday PvPing and such; it was banned in the FPvPL, but not on the current ladder iirc.
I'd keep up with this AT and get some practice with it, if you can get ASing down consistently people will love you for it.

Brutes do see play in Arena, as Tauntbots mostly but the odd one has been known to get a kill down. Masterminds less so, but Thugs/Storms have made an appearance now and then. MMs are pretty fun overall as well.

Except this would be for the arena only, and, as my original post indicates, what I have are a Thugs / Dark Miasma Mastermind, Thugs / Force Field Mastermind, Force Field / Dark Blast Defender, Dual Blades / Willpower Scrapper, Dual Blades / Electric Armor Brute, and a Dark Miasma / Dual Pistols Defender. All of which I've been assured are terribad in PvP. And I'd be going up against people in the arena playing toons specifically built for PvP, with Fire / EM Blasters, MA / Regen Scrappers, etc., all IOed out.

I realize that I'd lose about 90% of the time, but I'd like to have a chance to win once in a while
Of those listed I'd go with the FF/Dark Blast. Though the Defense from FF is pretty laughable, if you slot up Force Bolt with Kinetic Crash and such you can basically "juggle" a character for an extended period of time, allowing your team to defeat them. Force Bubble isn't bad, but it will get detoggled during the course of a game. You also have Detention Field, which is pretty bad these days with its 4 second duration, or whatever it is.

Pick up Fitness, Speed, Concealment (for Phase Shift) and Leadership (?) and go from there. From epics grab Primal Forces I guess...it'll PowerBoost your bubbles (and get DRd...) and give you a Resist shield as well. ALso gives Conserve Power, doesn't it? Some FFers like to pick up Aid Self but...animation times, end cost and rooting etc. Personal Forcefield is still pretty decent though. You could take Psychic Mastery for Dominate, to hold a target before its attacked.

Basically you'd be an irritant. See a squishy your group wants to attack, throw Force Bolt on them, they go into knockback animation, they die. Same scenario, hit them with Dominate for two seconds, they die. Bubble your teammates, PFF if attacked and pop greens. Use Force Bubble on small maps to repel people, etc. etc.

Fun stuff

The FF/Dark Defender could be fun. Could even get a few wins in duels if you run into someone without much KB protection. Defender Force Bolt is nasty.

I'm leveling a Mind/Energy Dom for the same reason, can get some serious KB out of Power Push, and it's base accuracy is really high.
