If I was going to PVP, I would start with the following skills in order of must have to must try to fit in:

 

Pacifism

Toughness

Constitution

Enhanced Perception

Armor Lore

Concentration

Death Warrior Focus

Malevolent Champion Focus

Dual Wield

Astral Lord Focus

 

You could go another way, full AL aspect, but I like hitting things with sharp sticks.

 

Pacifism is obvious, it reduces damage inflicted by another player.

 

Toughness for the exact same reason, only it reduces ALL damage taken regardless of the source.

 

Constitution is for more hitpoints and in-combat regen.

 

Enhanced Perception is for detecting stealthed players

 

Armor Lore for same reasons as PVE

 

Concentration - lowering regen times and 3 buffs (Must have at 75pts and leave it there)

 

Death Warrior Focus - Lower regen times and keep upping CAs

 

Malevolent Champion Focus - You'll want Combat Arts from both trees, so pump this up.

 

Dual Wield - We're running out of skills, and since you need damage, this needs to be your attack skill.

 

Astral Lord Focus - What Huh? Put enough points in here to Gold Mod Shadow Veil into a Buff and put 25 runes into it for maximum effectiveness.

 

Stat point distribution I would say should be 2:1 Strength/Vitality or 4:1:1 Strength/Vitality/Stamina.

 

You'll be relying on increased CA levels for damage more and earlier than typical PVE builds. If you really Want to take Tactics then the only thing I can really see giving up would be Death Warrior Focus or Malevolent Champion Focus. Another option would be to NOT take Astral Lord Focus, and use Shadow Veil as a getaway combo'd right after Beligerent Vault, so you Vault away for distance, and hit veil to hide and run off.

 

Another option would be to use ranged weapons and swap DW for RW.

 

That's it off the top of my head, I probably won't be PvP'ing here because there doesn't seem to be much of an HC crowd US side as it is. I have already considered a large number of "great in theory" PvP strategies though.

 

As for Combat Arts and Mods, they'd be roughly the same as my HC guide.
