Personally, Cold Domination is #1 on both fronts if you're looking for a single Power Set. Rockin' Buffs, Rockin' Debuffs. Win.

This is a Proposal for the Hybrid Archetype.
Q: Why?
A: Because! I have a Gas/Electric Car also!
Q: What is it?
A: It's basically a way to mix and match powersets in a certain archetype.
Q: How many powersets for an AT?
A: Well, sorta like VEAT's... lets say Blasters, can pick from only 2 Primary powersets, and 1 Secondary powerset.
Q: Wont this make some blasters/scrappers/brutes toooo powerful!?
A: Yes.. and thats where the 1st and the 2nd Primaries will change for a Hybrid.
Extreme damage powers...AoE's, Single Target, Cones... can be lessened to superior. etc... until a balanced mix is reached.
Q: Cool.. So.. If i have a Katanna Scrapper and want Claws too.. can that mix?
A: Yea why not!? If you dont mind the animation time it takes to draw your sword.. sure!
Q: So.. 2 Superior tier 9 powers? Thats still too powerfull, isnt it!?
A: Well, a little... but the recharge time can be increased for those powers to make it more balanced.
Q: Can Anyone get this new Hybrid AT?
A: Nah... this should be reserved for paying members.. and somehow unlockable. Maybe 140 Empyrian Merits? :/ Plus, this will keep bored long time playes busy for a bit longer with CoH.
And something for new or Free 2 Play players wanting to strive for. Think of it like trying to get ur 1st toon to 50 so that you can unlock Kheldians. 
Q: Wouldnt it make more sense to just have the 2nd Primary as an extra Power Pool?
A: Hmmm... interesting! *ponders a bit* Nah... players would eventually start to complain about being able to pick from only 3 or 4 powers. VEAT's have a better way, no complains yet.. well that I heard of.
Q: How about a Damage Meter for the powersets?
A: Thats not a bad idea! Would need some tweaking i think, but would meet the 'BALANCE' requirement.
Q: If we have a Damage Meter, why not allow for More Primaries!?
A: Ewwwww! :/ Ahhh.. Yea.. Possible.. Just not sure what kind of Mutt you'ld be! ;D
I dont like it.. only because this isnt Dr. Frankenstein.. its a HERO! And anyways, car companies only have Gas/Electric cause they know people will like it. I havent head of a car company selling a Gas/Poop bio diesel/Nitrogen mix car.. yet!?
Q: Why not just make Ancillary/Epic Pools available sooner.. 20 ish?
A: hmmm... nah. Because, those powers are there to help with late game content, to smooth out an already rough build.
Anyways, early levels most of the Primary powers in a powerset are mostly weak, so.. having Knockbacks and Knockdown, etc.. from 2 Primaries make it more survivable in the tweens. And i can stop taking Air Superiority!
Q: But, what about Healers and other support AT's? If they dont need to heal as much, wont they get bored!?
A: Ahhh... thats a fine fine point! Answer is YES! If Done Right! A Hybrid AT is more versatile and can handle itself better! Think of it like joining the Marines! U'd expect a Marine to outdo a common street Cop right!?!? Healers will never dissapear, just morph! Less Healing more Buff/DeBuff and Damage!
Q: What about MasterMinds? 2 Different pets!?!?
A: Hehe.. No. In this case... 1 Primary and 2 Secondaries! Did you forget about the 'BALANCE'?
Did I forget anything? :P
Thanks,
D-Man.

Sounds like the most boring AT imaginable.
You can make pretty much make any AT in game into a survivable melee character with a little work in mids. For example, it's possible to make pretty much anything in-game softcaped to S/L/M, while still going with a resistance APP. Even something with 0 as a base resistance and defense like a blaster. All ya gotta do is get a bit more creative in Mids.

Threw this together from memory of my lost build, it could probably use some tweeks but it's just something thrown together in 10 mins to offer my thoughts on how to build it.
I apologize my numbers from my previous post were slightly off. A bit more recharge and a bit less HP than I thought. And only 741% Regen w/ 1 tick of RttC
Although if you wanted to hit 3k hp you could easily do so but that'd most likely sacrifice some defense and recharge.
Not quite as offensive as some might like, I'd say it more leaning towards survivable than damage. Still not horrible if you think about the tank alternative.
Enjoy

I'd love to post my SS/WP Brute build, unfortunately when My computer exploded about a month ago I hadn't actually backed up any of my Mids files. So I'm pretty much starting from scratch on most builds and havn't been able to play ingame at all for awhile now. Hopefully that'll change by Christmas. I'll see what I can do about rebuilding my past version of the build from memory and get it up here for an alternate perspective.
I think in rough terms 3k hp, 50ish% recharge, 800% regen w/ 1 tick of RttC and softcap'd S/L was where my build was at in mids. -
Quote:And the incentive to kill the Cadavers before the Vahz AV is Zero, since they produce 0 xp. There really is no point to killing them aside from getting them out of they way. Considering they move much slower than the AV that shouldn't be a problem.Originally Posted by Agent White
Yeah usually before the Vahz boss, every team has asked 'badges or no' and anyone saying 'yes' makes it a badge run.
Really, the Vahz boss is the only one that you have to jump through any extra hoop to get the badge, the Lost AV you should be clearing out the mobs before taking him down anyway.
If the extra badges were more involved, I could see being a lil miffed. But the trial is stupid easy to the point you can get by with just 1-2 single target attacks the whole trial, bosses or no, since there's almost always enough bodies to simply dogpile anything to death. -

When you come into work the next day and have a co-worker ask what this piece of paper with a bunch of scribblings on it means.
I'd been writing down what badges a character of mine had and what I still needed, requirements for Accolades, my current roster and accolade status on each character complete with what was needed to complete the build and any tweeks I planned to make, as well as my "plans" for the upcomming Double XP weekend.
The backside had several build schematics complete with set bonuses and an overall stat calculation, all from memory of what sets had what bonuses 'n such. What looked horribly jumbled to my co-worker actually made alot of sense to me. Said co-worker has since picked up CoH and now does his own work scribbles.
Both sides of the blank piece of printer paper were COVERED with stuff. -
The only thing I can think of that I've want to and not done is solo a character to 50, I've come close but always end up teaming with whatever character I try. Highest I've gotten solo is 43 on a dark/dark Corr when CoV was first released.
I've never been too much of a badger unfortunately, highest I ever managed was in the 500s and that was mainly because I had the character so long I ended up stumbling over most of them by chance without actually badging.
My single main regret is that I didn't discover just how wowawesomeCorruptors and redside ATs in general were until GR came out. But then it as game on
(Yes I am aware that I didn't add numbers and make it a 'list' format. Thanks) -

A few mods have been IMPERSONATED and convinced other mods, who didnt know better, to make them mods, and subsequent IMPOSTERS then when on to boot members. In addition to someone IMPERSONATING theyve also created "ghost mods"..
There are too many mods and too many mods that arent known.
Dontcha just hate when 'someone' impersonates someone else?
And yes, I do hate when people impersonate others. I also hate when someone who didn't gets accused of it.

Its rather simple really. Dont like it, dont join.

I see I am not communicating my thoughts properly.
We have global channels that can help to organize your event whether it is a TF, Trial or mission - or even PvP.
They should to be easy to recall all the same on each server like the ones I mentioned earlier.
If we add MORE channels this just makes things more confused. If someone feels the need to add more it is because either they didn't like how the other one was run - so they want to start one run "correctly" as they see it or the other one is full so that is fair enough.
I am not trying to start an arguement - I am seeking understanding here. The fact that he won't go into it sounds exactly like - I am taking my ball and starting another game - if so good luck.
Hades, the reason this channel was created is probably a private issue and one that the creators aren't willing to share. If you knew them, you'd be able to make some educated guesses.
And since it's apparent that an answer won't be provided, I suggest finding out the answer to the only question that should really matter to you. "Do I like the channel and want to be in it." -

Just saw this.
Some are more strict with this than others and have a different way of going about it. Usually depends a lot on if you're a chat room junkie or if you actually live the life-style 24/7. Proper name or not, submissive isn't capitalized specifically because of who is addressing who. -

It's not "attitude". It's a perception.
An example:
I come from ******, and servers like mine have the smartest players, they're so smart they've figured out how to do all the TF's and trials better than any other server. That's a fact. It's not debatable. It's not attitude, it's a fact.
So coming to Exalted and finding players who won't listen when I tell them how great ****** is and how they need to be doing trials our way is a complete culture shock. When I didn't form the team, why shouldn't they let me lead? I mean, their methods are obviously so inferior that on ****** we threw those methods out long ago.
Anyhow, people can either start listening to how I say things must be done, or they can continue to be wrong. It's just that simple, believe me I know. It happen.
One more thing, it's not attitude.
P.S. - There is no I in TEAM. -
