# 1 Good PvP Build/class set

I'm looking for a known best class for PvP, I don't care if it's bad in PvE.
If you have a build to go with the class that would be even better! Also on a side note, I'm only level 17 with my fire character so I'm not sure if it gets better or not, but is fire powers good with PvP? If so I won't make a character purely for PvP.

And I know I've been posting a lot of threads about powers latterly, just need to find a class set I'm happy with :P

Fire is good at PvP but it is not an "idiot proof" build that anyone can pick up and play. You won't be spamming 1 power + TP and making top scores.

You need to practice proper powers rotation, make sure you constantly maintain energy(usually via flashfire+TR), and acknowledge the weaknesses of the framework. 50' range really puts you in the thick of things, and it is unique in the fact that it is a "ranged" build that actually works best in mid to melee range.

It's not like a long range nuker that can tap spam Defile from 100' and full charge spike people, or a defiant might tank that can soak up huge damage while still hurting others, but it is still a viable and fun to play build at high levels.

Very lackluster before you hit the mid-early 20's...just don't have enough powers yet to function properly.

Fire is a great powerset but, as Puck.Dracon mentioned, not face roll easy

If you want an easy generally good PvP build then a DEX/INT Dragons Wrath and Sword Cyclone build - I'm not going to enclose a specific build as it should be self evident.

You could make specific bash type Pestilence Lead Tempest, or maybe a Sigils FC Defiance tank , but DW spam is easy to pick up low skill high effect build.

Is that sarcasm Frozen of are you implying that the choices; passive - defiance/WoTEW, lunge - which ever, Form, LK, and then populate the rest with cooldowns heals/holds/stealth powers/offensive/defensive to suit your own personal tastes (you have so many free points that even a few mediocre or bad choices will have no serious impact).

So 2 attacks, 1 passive, 1 lunge, 1 form, 1 block, and then a boat load of what ever random stuff you feel like equates to a deep and meaningful build

DW builds are really shallow, but they don't have to be complex due to the basic tools being really solid (some would say OP).

Edit -- in retrospect I think I'm being Trolled. Nicely done FrozenBones /shakes_fist
