Need some PvP Melee advice...

I haven't PvPed much in the game over the last 6 years but I would like to actually make a Scrapper dedicated to doing just that. This toon will be mainly for having a good time and still be able to stand his own. It wont be a min/max build , in fact might not get outta basic IO's. I'm thinking WP since it's kinda set it and forget it, regen is also a good choice. My primary choice so far seems to be MA or Claws because of the kick-a$$ animations :P

What I am needing help with is
- Is the MA or Claws primary decent in PvP or will another one satify my needs better?
- WP enjoyable in PvP and not intense to use?
- Anyone able to help with a cheap build max maybe 50~100 mil invested (btw I do the recipe route and make my IO's not buy em pre-made.)?

MA > Claws. Follow-up doesn't work so well in pvp because people tend to move around a lot.

Regen is the far better choice in pvp. WP is not very good unless you're fiteclubbin, even then Regen is probably still superior

MA/regen/fire with ss/sj/leadership/phase


Positron's i13 letter: We are trying to make PvP more accessible to new players, while giving experienced PvP'ers the advantage that comes with formulating tactics around the new systems we're putting in place. PvP from now on will be on our priority list. If something isn't working out, we'll be in there tweaking it and making it work, for the entire future of the product, not just Issue 13.

This is not bad way to go in most cases. The down side of the no fitness build will be noticed when you are not keeping up with movement speed capped players and when your endurance bar is being attacked. With that number of toggles Heat Exhaustion will floor you if you are actively fighting in very quick order. So a lot of players will out run you and the sapper types will wreck havoc on you so watch the blue bar.

If that isnt your bag then drop the leaping or concealment set. Regen has a lot of tricks and is very survivable if you can recharge fast enough to get your good armor clickies back in time. I play mine without concealment now.

I'd take weapons over fire. You need targetting drone and when you're fighting runners you'll want webnade.

Also I would take fitness over leadership because you'll want the extra run/jump speed, the extra regen and recovery, plus when you're fighting electric wielding enemies you can slot the performance shifter proc into stamina and that +10 pts of end cannot be debuffed.
