Dark Def - Viable in PvP
Dark defs arent the most viable for PvP.
-Your heal requires a hit, and you cant really use it to heal others since they are jumping all over the place like a bunch of loons.
-Your res debuffer is place on the ground, and is fairly easy avoided by your opponents, but if you do get place it has a nice -jump opponennt which makes fleeing from it very hard.
-Your defence/dmg debuffer can be dropped by just running away.
The best piece of advice I can give you, is not to try and find a build, but try to get into a PvP SG. It isnt as much the build as it is finding out what works with your team mates.
40% of the skill in this game is teamcoordination. So this is very you wanna be viable.
40% team coordination, 35% build, 25% own skill is how I view the game.
A Paragon Defender
I am a PvP novice - been in RV and Sirens a couple of times and get the feeling that my toon is just not cut out for PvP - I know as a defender I should not be looking to be the 'villain killer' but more of a support player - but I am still finding my survivability to be abysmal.
My toon is Lv 50 and I am open to fully respec'ing it (been needing and overhaul for ages). I really need some advice from experienced PvP vets as to how to approach a Dark/Dark defender build that will increase my survivability and also get some pointers on what your thoughts are on tactics too.
Thank you in advance for your suggestions.
