Im sure people who know how to use mids and who know more then me will help you out here, but i will give you some tips about pvp PB's.
first off do you want to pvp in zone, 1vs1, or team?
then do you want to make a tri form pvp build or a human focused pvp build?
both do well. I think tri form is easier/cheaper to build, but human focused can out do it at the high cost end.
no matter which way you go you will need super speed, super jump, leadership, cap/come as close as you can to capping your hp's, get as much recharge as you can/as much as pvp will let you have (For your self heals and light form) then you want 2-3 damage procs and added range for your attacks. also you will want the phase fly power(forget it's name off hand)
these basic things will get you started.
oh yes also forgot that you need to get 41 points of KB protection or as closes as you can come
for incarnates it will depend on how much recharge you have. if you dont have the money for expensive io's then you want spiritual for your alpha and ageless for your destiny. spiritual boosts your self heals and give extra recharge and ageless is more extra recharge, fixes any end proublem you might have form light form crashes or if you fight end drains
if you have the money to get your recharge from io's alone then you want rebirth(+ regen side) and Vigor
vigor will boost your heals, boost your acc(which helps alot when fighting toons with high def) and help fix your end proublems.
rebirth is a huge heal with regen on the side, even though you will have 2-3 heals and more heals is never a bad thing. in arena with heal decay off you can chain them togeather to make you a pain to kill. in zone you cout out the 8 secs then chain them.
i should say i play a pb in zone on freedom by the name of infinate one. i keep trying to play a new pvp toon but my pb is just too much fun
I was wanting to go just human form. I've got a couple Billion I could spend on it *IF I thought it was worthwhile.
My idea was inspired by another couple forum posts that I've read on this and I've already got an old PB sitting at about lvl 30ish. So I was considering picking up where that left off with him.
============================
Roll a PB
Light Form, Dull Pain, Reconstruction, 3 fast range attacks to chain, 2 great melee attacks, and some other stuff.
Easily the most versatile toon I've ever played,
============================
The whole build revolves around damage output and dps and survival. RV pvp. Almost gank proof. Fly is so underrated these days its stupid.
Luminous Blast: Glinting Eye, Glinting Blast, Proton Scatter, Luminous Detonation, Radiant Strike, Incandescent Strike, Inner Light, Dawn Strike, Photon Seekers, Gleaming Bolt
Luminous Aura: Incandescence, Essence Boost, Shining Shield, Reform Essence, Light Form
Speed: Hasten, Super Speed
Leaping: Combat Jumping, Super Jump
Concealment: Grant Invis, Invisibility, Phase Shift (Yes I have not respeced this toon in awhile so I still run that instead of the other luminou aura phase fly power)
Leadership: Assault, Tactics
============================
So this was where I got the idea and the direction I'd like to have a look at... but I'd like to see
1) if anyone else has had experience with a PB in how it fares in zone PvP and how they like it
2) if anyone has a similiar build they could share from Mids
you can also post in the pb forum. alot of the pvp'ing PB's post there. one thing about pb's is there are alot of ways to build one even for pvp and all of them are great
I used my PB to pvp because I found it was the most fun class to play but I used a tri-form build, though in all honesty I hardly ever used the Squid due to lack of perception but the squid form is very handy when zones get busy because you can just pick people off from long range. I will include the build I used for my PB when I did play; though when building a PB you really are better off building it to your own personal preference, you will soon find out what you like and dislike about a PB in pvp.
Code:
I took cardiac at first for my PB but then switched to Intuition Radial. I also took Pyronic judgement, Polar Lights and Barrier for my incarnates.| Copy & Paste this data into Mids' Hero Designer to view the build | |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |MxDz;1763;746;1492;HEX;| |78DA95944B4F135114C7EF6D67A81D0AA5943E78B4145AECFB3181B8D16854A2C1A| |03621616748914127A985B44064E95770A13B1F41C1951FC18D6BBF810BBF0082D1| |188C26F530E74F3B326C9CB4F9CDFDDF73CE3DF7DC7BE6F6E359DFFB9B4FAE08397| |8BD5E6BB596AA46EDBEB1DC341B0F8CA6E74E6D63B359AB0B7AB41BF56D12138B86| |E1A1E194DD6EE9EEEAAAD168995B46697EF391D958DB6C2D5DA3681BA97FAC660D8| |7D5550A2F7CD5B5B57A69DEA8AD939D660D16D60D63C57FA2AF18CDD643733D608D| |E71A5B66CB5C36EBE6C6B688522A17E8FF4B1578DAAAD821E88A70ED3207F698E98| |29BF9C96531D743E39822F68F7DA5E52B44545ADA6F1512C5933ADBBB4A4C0D7112| |45C4A9308B65E601F9BAD9577127D8561903634C2DCEEC1F67FE211F153EEA1EC7E| |97903BE639EDB05DF32BF928387F3969ECB04C52DFAC1309D9197E3496F485AF6D9| |2361ED8D2A247AB156EF0B8EE57B09BEC29E5E33CB3BCC08C5EBE3B55C7D17798DF| |4679ED3319E241B3FF2F1E7517B50F60811403D0369F61BCC8059E6501ECC315373| |CCEF946F907D4510E7F383B410F610426DC3A86D18B58DA2B6519C4194F28BE09C2| |3139C5792B461EC6B18FB48615F058C0F69AD51D88C9624CE9E99CC31BF914D0C7B| |8FE10C92A02B2CC438F21F473D7E92FD24B449E47244DA146A3435CD399F9F01CB2| |0FC8B151E17756680F691C179674E9D7790E6F2C83F8FBB54C0DD2AE04E7DA16296| |904F09FE43E457815681B6AF515FA08632C9B91C74352917D92E758B98A63B6AB7C| |FB0FD615773C9A7BCFEC47366F219734CE9F433FDE811714B39766BB733F6596491| |7378541C8AEE50A61DCA8C4399772855A5F37510D252BC039D9E6F2F289DDE1327B| |DE7553AFDADAA337C2F46C0317C8FE2D993EF0A7302DF19ED3F7CE3A77C7BBBBE52| |FDC05AF623D3D79D13EA258E37A4D87A6D842B1BB26BB00B9FA145EC1A7A287A86D| |D70575382E8DD327AB78CDED5D1BB3A7A77593BDE01D7B7667BBF677BAFDADE9508| |B9E13CFE02DA30FE83| |-------------------------------------------------------------------|

DO NOT GET ANY AOE POWERS OR DAWN STRIKE OR PULSAR... OR CONCEALMENT POOL ..
Why not to get:
1. The aoe powers are so weak and so long in animation that using them will acutally gimp your dmg and make you a target of stalkers.
2. Dawn strike waste your end.. in a world of thermals and other end drainers.. you dont need a power that will drain all your end.. for such minimal dmg.. pre i13 the power was very effective on squishies.. but these days that will just tickle your opponent and your left with no end.. Maybe after the fix the nuke crash for khelds then you can get it.. other than that scratch that idea... just pick up ion.. you will be fine..
3. Pulsar very very weak.. for the end use and stun.. i dont think people actually get stunned by it anymore to be honest..
4. concealment pool why waste 3 powers for phase shift.. when qflight is the best phase in the game.. its faster than all the phases and it gives you a travel power.. Your better off using two more powers on fighting pool than wasting 3 on concealment..
Powers you will need..
Primary
bolt, eye, blast, IS , OR RS. Radient strike is really not needed either the dmg from it has been soo nerfed down that you will just be wasting your time doing radient then Incadesant strike.. these days.. a squishy would already healed the dmg from both by the time you reach them again.. Just get IS and call it a day!!
Also Seekers i like .. its a good spike espiecially used at point blank.. you will get more out of IS+SEEKERS THAN IS+RADIENT STRIKE
Secondary
All the shields all the heal, Lightform, qflight and conserve..
pools: what i have are:
ss: must have
sj: must have..
fighting
leadership: must have
like money said your need 2-3 procs in each attack.. i have 3..
since your loaded you should def get the apocalypse proc in bolt.. thats gonna be your bread and butter.. also the achilles heal proc in bolt..
eye put the glad jav proc..
and then use unbreakables in the other ones.. plus purples in IS.
BUILD FOR HP.. cant stress that enough.. outside of Essence boost.. im sitting at 1580 but ive seen others over 1600.. and with it im over 2200.. thats better than most scraps and brutes
the highest ive ever got my shields was 60% enrg and neg, and 59 to everything else and about 55% to psi this is with lightform up and cardiac.. but i reacently switched to vigor so im back down to about 57-58..
So the things you need to build for is HP, RECHRG, RESISTANCE THEN DMG..
Also have fun, and look up E.G.A.D. SG and join up if your on freedom.. will look forward to seeing you in RV..
Freedom:
Iron-Blade 50kat/invul Iron Ascension 50trifpb Cinder Reborn 50fire/kin Zaha'doom 50triws Cindered Stones 50fire/ston ColdFusion 35 ice/rad Iron Ash 50 Fir/WP
Iron Wind km/regen Iron Static elec/reg Psy Entity 50 psy/dev Iron-Assassin 50 nin/nin
I've actually been working on a build in Mid's myself.
Coincidentally, it's almost entirely humanform as you mentioned you liked.
For Incarnates go I figured on getting Cardiac Core for the range and to help with the endurance, Reactive Radial Interface for the damage procs, Ion Core Judgement, Rebirth Core Radial for the heal and maybe the Carnival Radial Superior for Forge?
Damage could be better so if the endurance doesn't turn out too harmful you could likely swap into Intuition Radial Superior or maybe even Musculature Core Paragon.

Sup, I'm the guy who said all that stuff. I mainly play a pb and I do think I have figured it out.
You do not have to copy my build above but I built for both pve and pvp. I got an all in one build. And lately, it's worked out just great in RV.
It's all about how quick you are and what your combinations are.
Little tip: Never dull pain before reconstruction
Fight The Power
Hello all,
I've heard that PeaceBringers can do well in PVP and that they can be very versitile, with some AOEs allowing for useful PVE as well. First of all is that the case? I'm not looking necessarily for something that's going to dominate in toe-to-toe melee like a scrap or brute, nor am I looking for a ganker, but rather something that will be versitile all around and a fun toon to play.
Can anyone help me out with a good build from Mid's?
Also which Incarnates would be recommended?
