Hello Blake7, welcome to the world of CoX PVP.
I would strongly suggest you roll another /regen scrapper (if it must be a regen). I suggest Fire Melee, Electric Melee, Dark Melee or at least a Katana before trying to roll a Broad Sword because it is difficultly SLOW to get what you will for satisfactory in PVP, especially if its zones. Broad Sword deals Lethal Damagewhich is easily resisted. Elecric Armor can be as good too or better, but not as great as a really, really good regen.
Fire damage has great damage and it is not resisted as easily like BS/.
Electric Melee can be great for landing high damage to targets too. It may even hit harder than Fire Melee.
Dark Melee hits fairly well and has -ToHits to target/s (causes them to miss during the duration time) it hits and has a Healing power.
Katana hits much faster than BS but it deals Lethal Damage too. There are players that know their scrappers well and know how to tweak them to their benefit for they have been learning thru establishing more experience as they progress. Learning the curve in every aspect to what fits their personal playstyle by enhancing what is necessary, picking powers needed to do what fits their playstyle and to better survive accordingly as well. This may include the type or personal favorite Incarnate Abilities as well.
Now most importantly ... after reviewing your build on Mids. You have over slotted powers way pas the necessary. Hasten only needs 2 slots. If you 3 slot Hasten you will see when you mouse over the power that its buffed in Red meaning it is overkill. For instance, 2 slot Hasten and you will see the enhanced type "Recharge" is vauled at 83.32% in Green. This is the propper way of enhancing the powers abilities to its true form. Try to understand the mistakes you have made on your build. That will help you better understand how Mids can be used to greater detail to better your toon or AT. So rework your build and post it again thats if you still want to roll a Broad Sword to PVP.
i rolled a completely diffrent build with this one hope its better.

BS/REGEN is just fine for zone pvp - you are a regen...and headsplitter is the shiz..plus crits - this one has phase and hiber - you should never die and outlive anyone except another regen.

Thanks fur_nes for sharing your build. Its nice to see how other players slot their powers for PvP.
I see in your build you have dedicated 5 slots to -KB IOs.
Doesn't Integration alone provide more KB Res than you can encounter from an enemy's attack? In other words, with Integration running, don't you have more KB safety than you need?

im also wondering if defense is useless in pvp?

Small to moderate amounts of Defense on a build are worthless. High to extreme amounts on a build make it viable. I know /SR stalkers do well in zone PvP.|

Defense based characters are commonly viewed as 'not the best' in PvP.
As with any rule you wish to apply to this game, the above has an exception. The exception here would be +DEF on a MM's henchmen. When a MM is engaged in zone PvP, he fights the zone's NPC as much, if not more, than other players.

thanks for the help
Nothing wrong with broadsword infact it surpasses katana and electric melee is crap if your not a stalker
Ive recently gotten into PvP and i made this bs/regen scrapper, I dont know much about PvP, but Im wondering if this will serve me well, please let me know if this is a sturdy build or not.Hero Plan by Mids' Hero Designer 1.942
