Well prior to the mess thats been made of PVP PBs could work passably - they are very hard to kill in Dwarf, basically forget it as far as WSs are concerned unfortunately.
How that has changed I couldn't say but I suspect Nova form may be more feasible now. Have any of the experienced PvPers actually tried following the changes?
Mind of Gaia lvl 50 Defiant's first Mind/Storm 'troller.
Deadly Doc 50 Dark/Dark Corr
and lots more on Pinnacle,Union and Defiant
Yeh I have tried mine a couple of times.
I think its more feasible to make a fairly decent PB for pvp now.
I think there have been a few trade offs for their previous weaknesses and strengths.
The mez changes benefit them well.
But the huge nerf to resists has hurt their survivability a little. Well maybe changed their survivability would be fairer.
You can build an ok blapper attack chain and for survivability you have phase,dull pain and standard heal plus dwarf form with its heal. Light form is a shadow of its former self but still useful if only for the unsupressed movement.
I dropped nova form last respec so I havent tried that in pvp. I cant comment from experience but I imagine it could be useful now. Maybe more with a team. But with the toggle changes for form shifting and mezzes big and small clearing your queue it could be awkward for surviving.
Then again nicely slotted you could maybe use it as an opening salvo then drop to human for mitigation and another attack chain in quick succession.
Could possibly be quite devastating.
As it stands now widows/forts will tear a PB apart just like usual. Pretty much the only thing to do is phase and get away from them as your shields/dwarf/light are completely useless against them.
Also all the -def can be very useful in todays defence dominated pvp too.
I havent got the inf or the inclination atm to respec mine but I would be interested seeing a heavily slotted pvpb in action.
As for warshades I just dont think they are viable. Not worth the effort.
Warshades rely too much on fighting large amounts of enemies at once, and keeping them where they want them.
warshades or peacebringer what is better for pvp?
