PvP build help.
Wish I could, but I don't know an even decent build. I tried a human-only PB in test server event (my own PB is lvl 22) and hated it after about 10 seconds. Only hint that I can give is that I wouldnt dream of PVPing without dwarf form..
So, PvP with Khelds are out of the question?Perhaps there is someone else out there that'll answer. I can hope. I'm currently human-only but will respec asap.

I've seen a few kheldians around. Mostly in dwarf form or that squid thing. I believe dwarf gets extra protection from things like confuse, although with time they can still be held and detoggled. The more annoying of the squids seem to have awesome range with good speed.

I think discussing about kheldians in PVP is something that needs to be done, and hope that devs might do something about it. Sorry if I go offtopic abit
The biggest problem I see is lack of mez resistance. The fancy shields help little if you are one-shot held/slept/stunned/whatever by first troller/blaster/dominator/mastermind/whatever that you come across. This in addition to having about blaster HP and mostly melee powers. You got dwarf form you can escape to with its mez resistance, but its damage output is pretty limited. Also you cant use pool powers while in it, and Kheldians get no epic pools like other characters either, with stuff like blasters force of nature, snow storm, etc missing.
Thankfully theres no recharge in forms so you can change between them quite swiftly. Also if the dwarf gets mezzed, it changes back to human form to die because dwarf is basically just another toggle.
Quite frankly, while I want to encourage PVP in all forms, I wish someone would show me that Kheldian can do ok in pvp. Also latest PVP tournaments have banned Kheldians for reasons I cant fathom, I'd like an event with Kheldians allowed to see if someone could come up with a decent PVP Kheldian.
Yes, I see kheldians in PVP zones, but Im not impressed by them. Squid form is pointless in combat imo, because human form gets more damage out in my opinion(especially in team as squid form is unaffected by the boosts of Cosmic balance, Khelds inherent. Same applies to dwarf of course)
If Id PVP with my PB, Id propably stick to dwarf until I saw an opportunity and then switch to human form to BU, incandescent strike, radiant strike, and whatever else is there.
Ps. of course, everybody can be useful in PVP zones regardless of builds, imo. Just less so than good players with good builds.
Im fan of the all-human (+ light form, ofcourse) for PvP. I will one day get mine his last 2 levels so that I can duel with him properly, and show the doubters that they shouldnt be laughing every time I suggest PBs for PvP!
You will lack damage, but played properly should be near unkillable. Sorry I dont have a build to post.

But basically, no AoE attacks? Perhaps an intital attack with good -def and acc? A few close combat attacks. Good protection? I'll try a build that "feels" good for Pure Human. And let u all know how it works out of course. Mmmm... PvP tonigt at 8 (Defiant) should see me respeced and ready to Rumble...

Took the slots out as I wasnt sure about the slotting but I think this build would do pretty well when slotted and wont run out of end when conserve is up.
Got 3 dam 2 acc in rad strike and incand on mine and does good damage with bu.
Can use essence boost+dwarf to tank and to take AS to get stalkers out of hide then go human to deal damage.
Just hide in dwarf if you see a dom or something with ranged holds then jump them with fear/incand
No acrobatics?
Havent really needed it so far play on Union and mainly only see energy stalkers, brutes and the odd corruptor in Sirens so I just carry a few break frees and keep fly on most of the time to deal with KB without using a lot of end.
Yes, this echoes my experiences: I didnt use acrobatics on my blaster as long as I only did Zone PvP. Once I started to do Arena more I couldnt live without acrobatics.
My little PB is soon dingin 24 and I was wondering if anyone have a good build for PvP at that level and beyond?
Slots/powers and so on...
