Mmm...not sure why Ninjitsu is very good in pvp because defense is pretty crappy later on. No idea on Elec although after they changed the damage formula, I can see Thunderstrike doing good damage.


What's left is to normalize all Assassin Strikes and improve Stalker's old sets (Claw, MA and EM)! You don't need to bring back the missing PbAoE attack. You just need to make the existing ones better! For example, make Slice a WIDER and LONGER cone.

Electric/ has been a staple PvP primary since it came out due to Thunderstrike, which is like a 2nd AS when it crits. Go with proc'd attacks, they are your friend.

Ninjitsu still works well as long as you have a good amount of money to spend. Many go with Willpower b/c you don't have to build for KB, it's easy to cap off HPs with accolades I believe and has great in house perception. Based on this, it is the least expensive of the two secondaries.

I like my Energy Melee / Energy Aura. Had to get rid of few powers for perception, but whatev. Still 2 shot some chums. I'll send you my build. My side project is Energy Melee / Ninj. I'll let you know how that goes. :P

Wow... just checked Mids. Thunderstrike's damage in PvE is only about 119 (with some minor aoe damage) but in PvP it does 193?? And if I remember correctly, Thunderstrike has 100% critical on the main target? That's a lot of critical damage.


On a side note, I was looking at Martial Arts' damage in PvP and it doesn't look very good. Its heaviest attack in Eagle Claw is less than 1k Cuts and the other attacks are actually doing a tiny bit less PvP damage than PvE damage.

What is MA set good for then? I wonder...

Who here is using Bane for PvP?

I am not sure if Mids is wrong but Shatter Armor's damage in PvP has base 271??! It can't critical but it does 20% resistance debuff and Bane can debuff with Surveillance first before the fight. That's a pretty big punch.


PS: Ok, Mids is definitely wrong. It is showing Spirit Shark doing 362 base damage and Mace Beam is doing 202 damage?
