Thanks, what would you say is more enjoyable... Plus, which one do you think would die the least? I really like kin/, but I think I'm willing to try a rad/. How do you think a rad/rad or a rad/psi would fare?

don't listen to the kid. play with a kin/elec build... it can be pretty amazing if used right.. especially on a defender.

When you say, amazing, do you mean on the killing front or defense front? The only reason I ask to to make sure that I am building/slotting him right.

Do you think that could be useful in zone PvP? I would probably catch a lot of aggro with that type of toon.

You'll catch a good bit of agro, and you'll die a fair amount as none of your powers will help get you away from travel suppression. Pick up Phase, and best of luck to you.
"the reason there are so many sarcastic pvpers is we already had a better version of pvp taken away from us to appease bad players. Back then we chuckled at how bad players came here and whined. If we knew that was the actual voice devs would listen to instead of informed, educated players we probably would have been bigger dicks back then." -ConFlict

yeah.. basically, you can drain anything and once you get the hang of it, you'll pretty much destroy anything that attempts to take you down without help unless it's an /elec brute.

Well, remember that the Kin/ Siphon speed and reduce inertia are not affected by travel suppression. Unless this has changed and I'm not aware of it.

It has changed. Nothing gets you out of being suppressed now.

As it stands right now, damage spam is the most effective way to PvP. Support builds aren't nearly as useful as they once were. An Emp can help, sure, but Heal Decay and DR really hampers a lot of what you can contribute.

I can still have some fun on my Rad/Psi,Cold/Sonic,FF/Sonic, and Storm/Psi defenders even though I hate zone PvPing with heal decay, travel suppression, and every mez dropping RI/EF and Hurricane.
But yeah damage spamming button mashing is the way to go if you are going to PvP in zones.

by all means use the kin/elec if u have one already.
but all the builds I listed are very viable
i've gotten chased down by a kin/elec in zone, while not having packed nearly enough blues and having hiber down... it's basically an auto-win if you're by yourself and the dude has half a clue as to how to play his toon..
This thread is now about the sexyness of IR
Yes, IR is so sexy. Though, I think I might just run a blaster then... I miss the days when PvP zones first launched. Everyone seemed even then, you just had to learn your build and you could make any toon good. 
ir is awesome but no one gathers these days. I have played an unslotted kin in the zones on a team and only concentrated on buffing and draining the target called...it is highly effective..and usually if you're not attacking no one is really coming after you (stalkers do but ir and a good evasion strat usually keeps you alive enough for the team to kill them). if you already have a 50 kin/elec defender then great but if not i would go corr- scourge is not affected by team size.

OK, so I haven't played since i12 and I have recently picked up the game... I guess I just missed the game.
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!
