Hello everyone. I imagine something like this gets asked a lot, but after searching the boards I am still undecided on my choice. I have just gotten City of Heroes along with Going Rogue, and want to give Mastermind a try. I settled on the concept for the character (yes, I am a role-player at heart) and narrowed down my choices to Demon Summoning as my primary and either Dark or Pain as my secondary.
Could those of you with some experience playing them give me advise on the choice (and maybe even point to a good build) based on the following criteria in their order of importance, please?
1. Fun and active play style, preferably with some variety to it.
2. Good ability to solo (I mostly play casually a few hours a day and won't always have time to look for groups).
3. Still welcome in groups when I happen to have more time available.
4. Good visual effects.
So far I am getting the perception that Dark may be more fun overall while Pain fits the character theme a little better and is likely more welcome in groups due to heals/buffs. I do not know which one is better for soloing.
Thank you in advance for your replies.
