so I've come back after a while and am looking to get back into PvP. when i left the game IO's just cam out so bare with the build as i am kind of new to this. i want to be able to compete in PvP as well as be a boss killer for farming purples. I've been racking my brain over this build for a couple days now and this is what i came up with. All criticism is welcome, Thanks in Advance.

Well, before I begin even looking at the build I think it's worth discussing your goals for it in a bit more detail. As you may or may not have discovered, PvP is more or less dead on most servers. It is still possible to find a group of friends to PvP with, but I certainly wouldn't focus a build around it. Many builds that are effective in PvE are able to perform at a decent level in PvP as well in the modern game.

It is also worth noting that the idea of being a "boss killer" is pretty much the opposite of being able to farm purples. The CoX rewards system makes it much more lucrative to take out large numbers of minions than to take out bosses. With that in mind, you'll want to increase your AoE damage (you'll take out bosses easily enough as a BS character anyway). The entire idea of farming purples is actually more a thing that happens while you are farming alignment merits through tip missions these days.

With this information in mind, do your goals for the build change?

Thanks for the reply, i play on freedom server so basically just RV for zones, maybe a dual here or there, its basically for when i'm bored of doing the other parts of the game. as far as purple farming that's good to know as i have a fire/kin i can use for that. so basically this is just a PvP build that i will also run some incarnate trials with. just disregard the boss farming part.

Thanks again.
