Thanks allot guys! based on your advice i tried one out and at level 5 and loving it! Now gota work out how to use enhancements effectively >< any tips ?
I really appreciate all your words

And is the damage competable with other builds/clases? the main weakness i see is nothing to keep people away from you. Whats the main problems, and advantages you have experienced with this char?

Hi all, new to the game and tried out a couple chars, blasters and controllers, not keen on melee classes. After playing a fire/ken char, i got so sick of the aoe, and no instant damage, as well as lack of offensive ablities. an Energy/energy blaster was more fun, but felt rather weak, and found my self missing transfusion.
After looking through everything else a defender Dark Miasma/Dark blaster has caught my eye. A nice range of high damage offensive abilities, it seems, and some nice support(including +heal) and debuffs from Miasma. Any comments whether this makes sense as a build, and how it compares to other classes/builds would be much appreciated!
Based on the imput of this char ill make my decision on which to play properly with. (This or a ice/ener/ener blaster)

yea forget that, is energy/energy good?

Hiya, im a newbie to the game, tried to play a fire/kin controller, and just found the dots borring tbh, and wanted some more instant damage.
I wanted to use Ice as something that keeps them away, and then Lightning or energy for extra damage. But i didnt know which to choose, or which to choose as primary or secondary. Help would be much appreciated

Wow thanks allot everyone! Well after reading what you all have to say and taking a look at the different skills in each power I think i got it down to two alternatives, Kenetics looks like loads of fun, and illusion seems to have a couple nice gadgets as well as damage. So an illu/kin controller.
Then i took a look at the Defender, and Kin/Dark Blast caught my eye, the powers look nice on paper, anyone tell me if this matches up to a illu/kin troller's damage?

Hi all,
Just got the game, but i like to have an idea of where to go, rather then completely testing. mainly cause i dont have heaps of time to play, Controller sounds like lots of fun, but i really have no idea on which build to go.
Im certainly damage oriented rather then support, and obviously i know controllers arnt damage dealers, but there must be one primary or secondary build that is based for damage (gues its lightning) and then another that is best for controling...so basicaly which is best combo for taht kind of fighting? I usualy compare my play style to pvp style, if you can beat people you can beat bots with it

Any suggestions would be much appreciated, cheers for reading this! (and Fly good for travel? whats good bonus for controller in travel abilities?)
