1. Sorry for my bad english.
2. My mind is 21 level and I too don't know how it will perform later(I guess healing and locks), but for now I fair pretty well in pvp and especially duels, because no one can keep up with my heal and block. >< In the arena(tier 1, 2, and now 3) my main tactic is - teleport behind the enemy, SPAM like crazy ego sprites in the melee(when they hit they push the enemy a little and it's like a mass stun for a short period of time), survive the next 10 seconds(block, heal) until teleport recharges, then run away and repeat. Because ego sprites end up dealing ALOT of damage to all, in the end I got the most kills and the least deaths. This is the tactic if I play versus good players, because if they see me I'm dead and gone(stuns, pushes etc.). I MUST teleport as fast as possible and I don't have time to use ego blast at all. From time to time I can heal someone from my team if I see him on low health. Apply sleep with nailed to the ground to someone from the enemy team on low health who is running/flying(he comes crashing like a stone)/teleporting to dissable travel powers for 5 seconds.
Now 1vs1 is a different story. The most easy to duel is Behemoth for me(even if it's someone like 3-4 level higher then me), because they just are so slow and their damage is not like a lighting or fire... I teleport, cast sleep, apply ego sprites, ego blast with rude awakening, then he comes, I block with my shield(great damage reduction even on rank 1), heal etc. then repeat and that is... I mean the duel can lasts around 7 minutes, but in the end I'm the girl with the heal. He just cannot put my health below 50% and his health falls little by little. ^^
Later... I'm thinking of dropping ego blast(it's just not my style of playing) in favor of empathic heal(now it's rank 2), shield(now it's rank 1) and aura(now it's rank 1). Besides I will have ego storm... but yes... how good is ego storm in pvp at all? Or I will end up spamming ego sprites 'till the end of the world?

Mind is a pain in the arse in arenas, especially when they have a behemoth as their teammate. If you attack the behemoth, the mind will heal him back up. If you attack the mind, the behemoth will knock you away. It's nearly impossible to kill either of them.

Minds are very hard to take down, if played well and with the right skills/advantages. Low level it can be hard to finish off foes due to low damage, but if you know your stuff, you should be able to survive most onslaughts. Empathic Healing is a must for PvP.. and PvE in my opinion.

Ive had a lot of luck playing my MIND in UTC.
Ego Storm is one of the most powerful powers in PvP (AT or Freeform).

I do fine in tier 3 as mind, freeforms are impossible cause of self heals but you can solo pretty much all avengers/brawlers. I do notice most minds have trouble playing without a partner but if you practice enough mind is 1 of THE best bash classes.
