Ive seen Dark/Psi's in Sirens before and they seem to do pretty well, and i wanted to try mine in pvp.

So can anyone give me some tips, and a sirens build to work on?

Thanks

Hello, I see that post by chance, and I've made a defender dark /psi build recently that looks ready both for pve and for pvp.
I had problem with endu with the first build I made, and I think the best choice was to boost recuperation, so I've made the build for that in priority. I've not a lot of KB protect, but it seems to be correct anyway.

Here's the build :

I tweaked that build a bit, mostly left the powers alone, changed the order a bit, so that acro would be available in SC. (why SC I really don't understand but w/e)

A couple of things about the above build:
#1 that build needs way more kb protection
#2 needs more +hp

sooo I played with it a little, didn't put any PvPIO's in the build but changed the slotting of multiple things. Now it has 41kb and 1537 hp(with all the accolades), if I was building it, I would not take the fighting pool and would take concealment and arrange it so that I had phase in SC(if that is where you prefer to PvP), but the build as posted is just modified from the above build with no power changes.

My build was not made only for PvP, so the KB protect is not a problem for me.

I think your build is better, but might be short in endu during long fights (that was my biggest problem before my last respec, and reason why I boosted first recovery and max Endu).

Now, I have no more problems with endurance, and I will get the Damage Alpha instead of Endu.

(A global Pocket D and PvP zones for all servers would be great !)
