DP is pretty horrible. Think of another blast set you'd like to play.
FYI, psy blast is by far the best for blasters. For defenders, it's between psy, sonic, and rad.
This is "My" order on how I like blaster primaries:
1 Psychic Blast
2 Sonic Attack
3 Rad Blast
4 Fire Blast
5 Ice Blast
6 Energy Blast
7 Elec Blast
8 Archery Blast
9 Assault Rifle
10 Dual Pistols
Well do not get DP for PVP. Also /EM, /Device or /MMis probably the not-so-regretable way to go. But it is entirely up to you because for some very odd reason, some people can really make some uncommon AT's actually work but then againI haven't seen manyin my experience.

don't listen to a person (mod noc) when they have two dahjee recommended toons in their sig. For a blaster, go psy or fire, that is all.
if your dead set on a DP blaster..at least take /EM. take single target attacks and boost range.
maybe by the time you hit 50 they will have increased DP's dps
perma jump is ---> /up 1
Can't exactly say that DP is the highest ZOMGWTFPEWPEW damager that fire and broken psi is, but it's not bad. i have a Dp/PD Corruptor and i must say even with only a 50 mil build i can keep up with quite a few ATs in Zone. Trouble i have are the powerhouse builds like fireblaster scrappers (Who always choose regen and bypass their primary just to spam fireblast) regen itself isnt a HUGE problem but if you dont have the endurance for it, they will kill you. Psi blasters are known to be broken due to their 3-4 hits before the first hit actually hits you, and the fact that they can do that before travel suppression hits them. Fireblast i dont have too much of a problem (they hurt, they hurt a lot but its understandable to a degree.
If youre looking for something youll enjoy as well as go against the l33t power builders and about 90% of all zone pvper builds then do something other than Psi and fire for a blaster. /EM is fine although EVERYONE uses it.
Ive really got nothing against the players that play these power builds and if you choose so then listen to the posters above, but if you really like Dp get it to 50, IO it out, and enjoy it. im currently making a DP/Mental Manipulations blaster for IO versatility, wont be going Frost for hibernation wont be going concealment for phase because i hate using those types of powers (call me old fashioned but used to play when pvp was meant for fun not "I cant let them kill my online avatar! oh noes! *Smashes face against Hibernation/Phase to run back to base*)
For villains DP/PD is a great combination. For heroes Dp/Em is good, but the numbers and theory coming out of DP/MM im going to bet MM will come out better (No Guarantee but i like to take the road less traveled within reason)
Thats my 5 cents so it is up to you to decide what you really want to do. I for one love Dp and wont play ranged other than DP. Good luck and much respect to everyone on here.

Only people who are really bad at PvP go with Psi blasting. When they finally making one for the first time and IO out, they actually feel like they are a really good player. Yet not one person that owns one gives credit the Psi blasting set itself because they know deep down inside it is bit over-powered. Anyhow... If you can't beat them, join them. Welcome to City of Psi Blasters.
Soliston please select what you want to select, as you can tell Dark is a FOTM type of guy. All is toons are FOTM builds but one. So he is not one to listen to, he just follows the crowd. Sorry dude, but it is clearly true.

You are pretty clueless, and there are tons of horrible psi ems in game. Playing an fotm even in pvp2.0 is far from an I win card.
Duel me.
I will work on my sig pic more when I have time.

Here is the bottom line, no matter what blaster you pick, you will probably get some kills, eventually. If you want to be beast mode, go fire or psi. If you wanna be that guy that does something different, roll an Ice/Fire blaster that way you can figure out all the shortcuts from the hospital back into the action. DP has long animations which is why it is not optimal for blasters to use. If you're using a blaster you have to kite, and fire off youre attacks mid air so when you land you can jump again. You wont be able to do that with DP because of the seizure like animations. You will get as'd more than any other blaster. Stalkers usually go after tards first, and ur "unique" blaster is gonna fall in that category. When I'm using a stalker, once I get spiked by a psi, or fire blaster, I run, and move onto the next blaster.
I'm fond of my Sonic/Devices.
It's an under the radar not-horrible combo. It doesn't have quite the same level of performance as the go-to blaster combos, but it can hold it's own in a zone.
Just sayin', if you want a less common build that will get some kills, it's not the worst choice.

Well im not the OP, but i do agree Dark has very little knowledge of what the actual game is about. Im a huge DP fan and support anyone looking to go against the mold of standard "I WIN" button characters.

Deus is pretty much on point. See you will try out your new-to-pvp blaster and you WILL remember of WHY you have begun this post in begin with (although you want to roll a DP Blaster for PVP).|

What you will experince with this toon, "Dam, it is a great toon for PVE, why does it SUCK so much in PVP?" Well you will be chasen a ghost if you believe you can make it out to be a great Blasting Killer. However, thats when play styles comes in how it CAN be a viable build type. If you are NOT the mob rusher and determined to kill-off a selected foe regardless of the surivability to retreat after completing that specific task, then you may have a style to sitback and observe a fresh kill. That being said, there are secondaries that may assist your style with such like /Devices for an example. It can help you see stealthier foes and too have a power to cloak as well from foes (not by far as invisable like stalkers) but it can mellow you play style a bit to observe from a safe distance.
The con of /Device, it lacks a Build-up and it is a noticable difference w/out it. So is it a smart choice to roll a DP in PVP zones? Nope, is that guy right that says, "Psi & Fire Blasters are wayy over powered"? NO, but smarter, experience players KNOW that the smarter way to go is select a build within that AT frame that will work, that will get the job done. Psi and Fire has a better potential to tweak to get the job done than others. So IMO, DP is like a Sniper type animation which will require great skill to make work.
One has mentioned that long animations will get you AS'd, this is true. A great damaging power like TF (Total Focus) is mostly skipped because the longer animation will get you killed and while you are lying down face-matted, you will watch and hope the damage just dealt by hitting TF (which got you killed in the first place) will still HIT the lil-low-HP-foe you targetted but it does NOT because a dead toon does not inflict damage. I have witnessed this and it is WHY I do NOT have TF anymore. So DP for PVP is imo an interesting idea but after you have become not-so-new-to-pvp anymore to consider it.
Goon keeping it Gank-U-Ster
Hey everyone, like that title states im EXTREMELY new to PvP, but was looking at getting into it more heavily. Was thinking either a Rad/DP def or a DP/Mental blaster. any tips or advice would be great.
