If You Were Going To Roll One, Just One PvP Toon What Would It Be and Why?

I don't play support toons, but my top 5 PvP toons are:
1) Mind/Fire Dominator--incredibly fun but really only amazing with ios. However, with io's he surpassed my blaster in the fact that I want to play him more and more dynamic.
2) Psy/Em Blaster--I love his damage, range, and the fact that very few people can kill him. I loved my Fire/Em, but this toon replaced my Fire/Em when Fire became bad.
3) Cold/Son Defender--great disruption toon, and in duels, his Total Focus does like, 1000 damage when all of the -res debuffs are on my opponent. Not as powerful compared to when Slows were actually overpowered, as to know when they need a buff.
4) Rad/Psy--I always liked this toon, although I don't know how she plays after i13. Was very powerful and fun, although I think Psy might have been replaced with /Dark in terms of usefulness/damage.
5) Elec/WP Stalker--I love Stalking in Arena matches where people actually know what they're doing because I'm decent at pulling off AS's on moving targets and I like a challenge. Being able to do more than half of an opponents hp in one hit is also fun. In Zones I get bored fast however.

RIP PX, GMW, and the game that used to be fun.
Still playing for reasons unknown.
I'd roll an Engineer or Squigherder in WAR because that game is good and has PvP.
just going off your list of toons you have some decent pvp toons...
I dunno about Warhammer Online being that great. I've done the trial... it's basically a less cartoonish WoW and the PvP... well I used an archer and just pressed buttons and got the highest kills for the map... I really didn't try at all or know wtf I was doing.

BWitched - Which toons in my list would be good PvPers? I also have a level 50 Mind/Rad Controller and a level 30 Fire/MM Blaster.
Fire/Regen scrapper with sharks.
Thats all I ever hear.

Well done. |
I enjoy my spines/nin stalker enough that if i was forced to choose 1 toon, i guess that would be it, for redside.
Blueside would be my fire/dev blaster. I have a psi/em but prefer the fire/dev. I have a fire/regen scrap camped at 39 and I used to have high hopes for it before i stopped leveling it....so fire/dev it is.

Kills don't matter in WAR you get kills for just contributing towards an enemies death. If all 5 of us wail on 1 dude and he dies then all 5 of us get a kill, the stat that really matters in WAR is KB which is Killing Blows the person to get the killing blow is the person who killed 'em.

mind rad is good - your storms are pretty decent if you team well..fire/mm can be good..I mean it's a blaster....and the drain psyche is nice...most any toon can be good at pvp if you know how to play it....if you are looking to roll one toon and just think pvp will be easier because of it you might be let down. Just play what you like and learn to play those toons in zones -
Mind/Fire or Psi/EM.
Also, WAR sucks--don't believe the hype.
Yeah... Roll a Sonic/Therm.
Basically the only thing that will tie you will be baddo elec armor melolers.
If you're just messing around in zone though, roll a stalker. Any will do. People in zone are really bad.

and for the OP, of your listed toons I would PvP with one of these:
Darkosis Mind/Rad Troller
Dark Ignis Fire/Eng Blast - still one of the best PvP blasters, I would say 2nd to Psi/Em being first
Dark Gage Ice/Storm Troller- drawback is any mez turning off hurricane and snowstorm
Meta Ender Rad/Son Def - great at -res and stunning with screech, great team PvP toon.
OLD SCHOOL PvP
Rad/Psi,Psi/Em,Fire/Em,Cld/Sonic,FF/Sonic,Grav/Ta,Storm/Psi,Sp/WP,Fire/Psi,Sonic/Pain
RIP:Southern Comfort PvP,PE PvP,INTEGRITY PvP,After School Special PvP Test SG's,TPvPL Season1+2 Runner ups
To Echo what others have said, Fire/Energy and Rad/Son are already great PvP toons for both solo and teams.
Mind/Rad I have one IO'ed and what not, you'd probably be better off sinking your money into the above two.
If you want a redside toon go for a Elec/WP stalk, Sonic or Rad/Pain or Sonic/Therm corr.
just one? roll your preference...
Corruptor - Sonic/Therm/Soul
Dominator - Mind/Elec/Mace
Stalker - Elec or EM/WP or Ninja /Leviathan
Blaster - Sonic/Mental/Cold
Defender - Rad/Sonic/Power
or for something interesting
Defender - Rad/Dark/Power

WAR's pvp is better than this games pvp by a wide margin. The only positive about this games pvp is the Mobility everything else is absolute crap. The balance, the powers, the depth, the DR, the, TS, the HD, the Developer Support.

Perfect World... which is a Chinese F2P has better PVP than WAR
AR/Elec Blaster

'nuff said.
Seriously, a Psi/EM Blaster, Elec/Willpower Stalker, Grav/TA Controller, Mind/Emp or Ill/Emp Controller...or a Scrapper of some kind if you want to have fun.

F2P is free to play... but it's ironic because people spend far more money on F2P than they would on a subscription based game. People literally spend thousands of dollars within a year, some people even spend more... it's kinda sad.

It can still be fun to goof around in zones and maybe some KB but yeah not really worth investing in it til you have some of the more basics covered. Psi/EM, Emp, Stalk and of course, a Stormy.
I hear they're going to focus on PvP in DCUO at least a little bit, so...

So, I am not a PvPer and all my current 50s are pretty much PvE solo builds. They suck at PvP for the most part. Since I am looking for a project and new challenge before Going Rogue comes out what PvP toon would you recommend I make? Red or Blue side - either is fine but I have more resources Blue side, for the time being obviously.
Thanks from a PvP noob who has been playing CoH since i4.
