PvP help!

[Griffin]

I’m just getting back into the game. It seems there is a decent-ish pvp population on a few servers. I like playing corruptors, but last time i played my build was useless due to all the different rule changes. What is it like now? Does flares still hit harder than most of the other fire attacks due to the long animation? Is ice viable? I am wanting to recreate my old ice/cold corruptor but I don’t know if it is worth it.

 

For reference, the last time I played pvp had weird movement, where your movement was basically stopped as soon as you started attacking.  Attacks had their damage scaled based on animation length, so a powerful attack in PvE was useless in PvP and vice versa (the flares comment earlier). Anyway, I am just looking for a little guidance on what is viable and what the “rule” set is in PvP these days.
