i know how ya feel i deleted my old grav/psi dom for no good reasons back then except for frusteration over dying alot while soloing lol and the name i couldn't change and not one to spend money on a simple name change but geez getting to nearly 30 was a pain.
same goes for my fire/dark corr simple name change would've saved it ya know ya try to come up with good characters but get stopped by a naming idea you come up with something decent but then you relize it sucked and can't change it for free so gotta reroll :-/. -
made up my mind sorta my goal is to have two heroes and two villians one melee and one ranged for both but looking for the best for each side/playstyle. the trick here is i want a strong melee & ranged for solo for red side and strong melee & ranged for blue side grouping. so far i made a fire/dark corr praetorian and a grav/psi dom both was thinking for blue side but which would do better in groups and not die alot ?. for my melee i made a kin/wp scrapper figure its worth a try but not sure if it would be the best
for the villian side of this coin i was maybe going to move my db/nin stalker back to red side unless i can find a stronger solo melee toon. for ranged i'm not sure if i should keep my crab spider lvl 26 or find something better however i know that i can setup a 2nd build for bane or atleast it was mentioned to me but i'd be stuck looking at the backpack in bane spec. so if i could find a way to make my soldier go from crab to bane and vise versa that toon alone could cover both melee & ranged.
bottomline is i want melee & ranged for both sides that are pretty good damage,have a nice secondary maybe with a mix bag of tricks that will solo/team well.
i'm sure this might become abit confusing to some to have such a mixed idea but better this way then having two to four seperate posts lol.
my past experience that worked out for mixed bag of tricks is secondarys like willpower,ninjitsu,dev,traps,dark but wouldn't mind trying something different if there is such a thing lol. -
i think my problem is purely i hit a wall thinking of characters and when i actually start playing i tend to find out they are not as strong as i thought they would and thus delete them before i really get anywhere. on top of that i've been playing solo for a long time and leveling solo gets real boring real fast and most of my best ideas come from red side AT's and the few heroes i had that actually got fairly high got deleted from frusteration like my old lvl 40 DP/DEV blaster i was running some Cave AE long ago and every time i was chaining aoe's i'd pull agro and die constantly lol. another issue i had in the past is my creativity tends to play on being a underdog however trying to build a weak character up to be stronger then it actually is becomes a pain.
-
tell me about it i suck at melee for the most part when it comes to grouping lol.
-
yeah i thought about that however some of the toons i've had recently i didn't really like compared to some of my old ones lol.
-
Did ya ever regret deleting a toon for whatever reason ?
i have just not recently i was just thinking about a bunch of my past toons non even made it to 50 and whats worse is i run into a wall sorta with ideas for new toons and think back on how my past ideas were better then what i've been trying. -
I can't seem to get one AT to 30-40 before i delete it for whatever reason usually boredom
-
ah ok thanks lol
-
ok so if i switched to a bane build how would i attack without the backpack ?
would the attacks come from the mace or gun ? -
Ah ok thanks
hmm that backpack might get annoying after awhile sure there isn't a way to change things around between builds so i won't have it ? -
i'm a 26 crab spider and was wondering if and how i can setup another build as a bane spider if this is possible so i'd have two builds one for crab and one for bane.
-
This started like a week or so ago and i'm not sure what exactly brought this on but any and all chest details are blurry and buggy anyone know how to fix this ?
-
ok thanks for the reply and tips :-)

i've been looking at some powersets not sure what would be good
was thinking either fire,rad,energy not sure what the pros/cons are for each and what are really good secondarys for these. -
maybe i'm tired of constantly finding fail powerset picks but i've probably deleted 20 different toons since i started maybe more all over just not satisfied with what i come up with. so atm my current idea was to try and come up with a good ranged for blue side and maybe a melee for red side just not sure of anything yet.

Ok. I used to be a controller player. Then a Dom Player. Then I tried a defender who was fun until 45 and boring now.
I have tried the veats, a corrupter. I think the only class I have not players is a Brute/Tank, because I just don't like the idea of it. Not so much my style.
My problem is that I seem to either lose interest in something at 35, or in some cases 20.
I can't find an AT that is "me"
My friends list is packed and they want me to join them, but I sometimes just don't want to play anything I have, which is an issue because I delete pretty much everything and keep 4 key toons who I try and level, and even they will eventually get deleted. Except my 50 because she is my only one. And I don't like her at all. Not even enough to incarnate her or buy her cool recipies. (Emp/Psi/Power Mastry) and I only ever bring her out when the team is blaster heavy and they all get mezzed.
It's not that I don't enjoy the game. I love all of the story plots. I love the feel of the game and the costume creator and all of that jazz, but Im not falling in love with anything I play, and I as an RPer should be loving them. All are concept, and all of them have backstories and such.
Heck even my Widow who is fun...is now sort of slowing down.
Im hitting a wall somewhere.
Am I the only one who feels like this? Or is there a point when the AT you thought you liked just disolved. And again this is not for lack of trying or altitis, it's more to do with the issue of not finding something that is both thematic, and fun for me.
i'm still not sure how i got one toon to 50 long ago but nothing else i find almost any reason to delete a toon after awhile. what gets me is how ungodly slow lvling is in this game lol. but i have a pretty long list of ideas but too many to pick from unless the unthinkable happens and i come up with a perfect character lol.
I came back to the game after awhile and just couldn't play my lvl 50 db/nin stalker like i used to not sure what happened either so i have mostly ranged types now but still hunting for a good melee replacement -
ok so thanks for the info now on to more direct ideas lol
i've been looking at afew AT's and just can't decide on what would work for the way i play
i'm interested in Brute,Corrupter,MM
currently playing a Thug/Trap MM but wondering if demon or bot is better those being say my top 3 picks for MM but i heard from a friend mercs are decent.
in the past i've only played fire/dark corrupter so was wondering if there was a couple other strong choices for soloing and abit of grouping. -
Ah gotcha thanks for some ideas.
-
ok so which ones can i get a good amount of self buffs for ?
i got a look at a sg member who had SR and handled groups pretty good.
but can't remember what the primary was lol.
ok so what is a "Early Bloomer" ? -
ok so what would you suggest for something different that alot aren't doing just say if i wanted to try and be original that works.
-
I would love to know what powersets are the best for solo play.
was thinking dark/dark dm/sr, km/sr,km/wp, but not sure if any of those would work out at high lvls say if i wanted to solo bosses,AV's. but in any case i'm looking for something that does good damage,survivability and all the ones i mentioned are just ideas myself but dunno how they would pan out at later lvl's. however i'm open to suggestions for anything not mentioned lol. -
yeah my current main is a 50 dual blade/ninja stalker i lvl'd him soloing on red side originally moved him to blue side and since i came back last week i haven't been able to play him like i used to so been trying to find another powerset i can get to 50 and work in raids.
right now i have a 15 thug/trap mm and my 33 ele/ele the only issue i have on these is just getting abit bored after doing afew missions each lol but still they don't suck lol. -
What is the most underrated powersets ?
its a decent question really instead of looking for the OP powersets i'm looking for the ones that don't get the love.
right now i have been working on my ele/ele dom which my SG leader was telling me why having ele/ele was a bad choice when i could've done better and i told him this character i started when GR came out and was working on it for awhile this toon is currently only 33 but its fun to play and he told me i need soul for my epic pool for whatever reason. but after soloing a mish or two i didn't really see an issue but back to the question at hand. -
hmm well thats something to keep note of lol.
someone told me awhile ago how alot of mobs resist fire at high lvls such as SF/TF
and some other types also mentioned lethal was high resist later on which bugged me because some of my favorite powers are lethal lol.
however my concern right now is trying to sort out what i can do alot with for ranged damage powers. -
is there such a thing as "Strongest powersets ?
i'm just curious what people consider to be strongest sets for melee or ranged ?
what is really good for solo and or groups.
before anyone asks by definition what i'm looking for by strongest powersets i meant by good damage,defense,surival, powersets that won't have targets that will resist alot of damage. things along those lines because i've played alot of powersets and still haven't found anything that completely fits.
past characters for me
ice/ice blaster
dual pistol/tech blaster
psi/grav dominator
fire/dark corruptor
bot/ff mastermind
dual blade/ninja stalker (only lvl 50)
ele/ele dominator (32)
thug/trap mastermind (12)
as you can kinda tell i'm not too big on melee however i managed to get one to 50 lol. anyway all of these tend to be decent but lack in defensive/survivability at certain points.
