Yep

If there are two defenders in a group, both running hurricane, will the debuff stack from each defender? Or will the debuff be applied only once?

I was planning to try out 2 masterminds, but having a /kin corruptor as a buffer is too tempting. I was thinking possibly ninja/forcefield or a necro/therm even. (I was first thinking about two ninja/therm mm's and stacking the shields)

Im trying to stay away from robotics and thugs having played both years ago (but may consider if they are still the best options to go with a /kin). Need opinions!

Coming back to the game after a few years, Im having trouble deciding which route to go for an AOE heavy scrapper build. Im leaning toward Spines but not sure about /fire or /dark.

I dont know which powers from spines I can skip or those from /fire and /dark I can pass up and not miss. Also would it go better with a empathy or kinetics based defender?

And what ancillary pool would mesh with it?

Coming back to the game after a few years with the new Freedom FTP coming soon (Just got the $1.99 deal). This time I would like to try running two accounts and am trying to find a good (though somewhat easy to manage) duo.

I am wanting to either go with a Kin/* Defender, or a */Kin Corrupter (I might also opt for empathy), but thats about all I have come up with so far. I am leaning toward a melee type to go with it (scrapper, tank, brute) but have not kept up with powers lately or know what would become extra powerful with a kin behind it. Would prefer something with good AOE powers.

Pretty much I plan to have the corrupter or defender just follow me around and buff/heal. Also, what would be the best travel power to take for allowing an easy time for the other character to follow me? And what archetype and powerset would you recommend melee-wise to go with the kin or empathy based defender or corrupter?
