What are the FTM's these days?

Hello everyone, i'm a returning player who kinda quit after the whole i13 thing (I used to pvp on Liberty, back when we had people) I learned to pvp on my first and favorite character, an ill/storm controller. I was just wondering what are the FTM's these days? I should note that i stick to arena about 90% of the time, and I have pretty limited funds.
It would also be great if you could point out what would be better in 1vs1 (what I do mostly) and in team arena (what i hope to do more of). Thanks in advance

Team arena is pretty much dead as far as I know.

As far as 1 v 1's some sort of Poison is probably the way to go. With tier 4 incan and a self heal you have to try really hard to lose a 1 v 1 though.

Hey thanks for the reply. My friends and I sometimes do some small group pvp, but we're all pretty noob-ish. I'll give poison a try, thanks

The best advice I can give ya is to play on either the Freedom or Virtue servers. Go for a great 1vs1 build, due to these matches being the only active Arena play that I know of. And, spare no expense on your build. The competition will have not.

Random anger is random.

Overload grants 20% elusivity. Elude doesn't.

Also allowes players to hit the HP cap (which SR doesn't) and grants EA as much DDR as SR.

PvP Redux is discontinued, for obvious reasons. Thanks to everyone who helped and joined.

I was thinking more along the lines of good powersets on archetypes and such.

Dark/poison troller
Dark/poison corr
Ss/regen brute
Fire/mm blaster
Dm/ea scrap
Ele/ss tank

These seem to be some of the more popular builds. They typically do pretty well compared to other types of the same AT as far as I've seen.

Thank you, this is what i was looking for. One question, will dark/poison controllers still be good after they fix their broken holds? And I heard dark/EM blasters were the thing, is fire better? Thanks for the reply.
