PvP build in PvE...

I used to love PvPing on my Fortunata and the changes to defense ruined my VEAT. I put him on the shelf for a while and forgot about him. Yesterday I got a wild hair and decided to play him in a LGTF with a PvP build. I forgot how nice defense is in PvE and it was awesome. I dont know if my defense was higher than the SR on my team, but he kept dying and I was doing fine. I even went AFK in a mob because I got a phone call and I knew I was gonna die and when I came back 2-4 mins later I was still alive. I think with mindlink I was around 60ish Percent in Defense Melee, Range and AoE. Anyone ever make a failed PvP build and it rocked in PvE?

I think you're far liklier to have the reverse situation;

A great PvE build that is awful in PvP...

Generally, the attributes you'd typically want for a solid PvP toon (HP,
Burst Dmg, High Rch, Stealth, IO's/Sets/Purples etc.) will far exceed the
minimum needs of PvE content.

I'd be extremely surprised to find a good PvP build that doesn't rock PvE.

I've been rich, and I've been poor. Rich is definitely better.
Light is faster than sound - that's why some people look smart until they speak.
For every seller who leaves the market dirty stinkin' rich,
there's a buyer who leaves the market dirty stinkin' IOed. - Obitus.

The only thing different I need to do is drop 2 single target range attacks and pick up a cone and AoE.

On the contrary, many good post-I13 PvP builds are subpar in PvE because they're so single-target focused. Many pre-I13 builds would have at least some AoE but when the damage on AoE attacks got hosed, those went out the window. Trying to PvE on my Psi/EM is an exercise in frustration.

That's a good point - AoE's are bit of an issue.
