A LOT of stuff was changed about PvP in issue 13.
Read about it here:
http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Player_vs_Player
Pretty sure that covers all the major changes. I would go ask in the PvP section for advice on how to build for PvP after the changes. Also, I hope you have a LOT of money, PvP builds are pretty expensive nowadays.

OK, I think I will try that. A Dev can close this as I will moving this.

I really want to roll a (zone based) PVP defender and I wanted to get everyone's ideas. has anyone tried a good zone based defender? Any good builds? I am thinking one of the following: 1) Kin/Elec - for massive end drain (annoying the crap out of people) plus I wouldn't need to worry much about a travel. Though, how do you think the damage might be? 2) Kin/Rad - for the slows... though, would this set me good for anything else? I am a BIG zone PvPer and really would like to do something different. I usually run SC, but open to other ideas. RV and SC are the only ones I would really run. They seems to be the most crowded. If this does not work out I think I might try a villain, so if you have any ideas that might be good PvP wise on villain side based on a similar build please speak up  . I am more of a range player, but if I go villain I am not against close up fights. Thanks everyone! |

I am not worried about killing them so much as slowing them down for the other toon's to take down. I have a Ice/Nrg blaster if I want to kill them... This is more for support... plus, like I said, something different.

aside from a duelist kin/elec or cold/sonic, defenders suck. buffing classes are more or less pointless, and any debuffing set would be better off rolled a troller or corr. defenders damage is too horrible to compete and the lack of an exit power or perception/tohit in the APP is a killer.

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.

Ya, I know its sad... my poor snowball tosser... it used to be so much better then it is now. Now I feel like I'm ganking kills.
Just thought I would brainstorm something different. I thought about an ice/nrg tank... im so lost lol. Seems like there are only a few toon's that are good in PvP.
What about a rad/? defender?

I'd also do research in the PvP forums, since most of the information you'll be looking for is there.
Good luck.
