I have one respec, and I haven't played in 3 years. I could use some help building this guy back up to an updated solid character.

Any input would be great!

We get a lot of "make me a build" posts . . . I suggest you put some effort in by getting Mids and trying to make your own build.

Explain your playstyle and why you took what you took. Without more information, it is very difficult to make suggestions since a solo Grav/Storm would be build differently than a team one. A Grav/Storm that plays with the same group might be built differently than one who mainly joins Pick-up groups. One who plays aggressively would be different than one who plays more support from range.

And an important factor is how much Influence do you have available for this build. Some of the IOs can be somewhat pricey to eye-gougingly pricey.

Well, I just found out, after 3 years offline, that the DEVS wrecked PvP in every way, shape and form. I'm not sure what I am going to do. I guess I will have to get that program and build my own ****. Hopefully I can get my 15$ worth by tooling around for 30 days, but NCsoft won't be getting any more of my money.

You can turn off the biggest of the changes in the Arena, IIRC.

That said, if you want to perma-mez or get your resistance over 50% in a PvP zone on a controller now...well, that just doesn't really happen in a PVP setting.

A very, very small percentage of the CoH/V population plays PvP with any regularity. It appears that the Devs tried to balance things and in the process wrecked them. As a result, most of the dedicated PvP'ers went somewhere else . . . but there weren't all that many of them.

If you want PvP, there are other games with far better PvP populations and systems. Personally, I strongly dislike PvP. Don't like it here, and haven't liked it on any game I have played. The only times I have gone in the Arena in several years, it was to try to get a PvP recipe to drop or to log off there to get the day job.
