See, I like starting characters on Praetoria because they aren't from Primal and the stuff on Primal is shiny and new to them.

Right now, the only reason I start new characters in Primal is for fast leveling purposes to see what particular power sets do. Whenever I bring a Praetorian over at 20, I have a giddy sensation of stepping into a world of infinite possibilities.

All that and I like "Praetor" as my level 50 title dangit.

Kinetic Melee It made my "blasting tank" possible. I have so much fun with my KM/Fire tank, I made another to keep on a different server. A ranged attack chain with four powers...it almost has as many ranged attacks as it has melee.

An honerable mention goes to Regen for brutes. My claws/regen brute is a sheer joy to play. Watching those hitpoints spike upward and juice regeneration is awesome.

So...awesome! Congratulations to you both.

So damn awesome!!!!!!!

Soawesome!

I want to think that it is a preview for some sort of upcomming support powerset where you give your teammates the ability to trigger their buffs themselves and you are responsible for giving them "buff tokens" to hold onto until needed.

Dragon thing...

FIN FANG FOOM?

And I'm crying like a three year old...I really want to see this. Please, please don't suck.

I would like to have the ring topped boots for men please.

Also could we have a perma-purchasable jet pack that aligns with the backpack when present?

Welcome to the dark side. Will you have one lump or ten-thousand with your first cup?

I've always liked Gaussian's look.

I like Cole as well.

For pure personality: Aaron Walker. I would totally date him.

The final Crusader mission was the biggest gut punch for me. It forshadowed events from the UG and put "Mr. I have guns and kung fu" on my permenent beatdown list.

Can we have the Malaise texture back? If only for a limited time?

Searching for a moment of clarification: If ATIO's are catalyzed up to Superior strength, they start bumping up against purples for purposes of the rule of five?

I neglected to mention my Honorable Mention powerset: Gravity Control

As a concept I fricking LOVE telekinesis. Rachel Summers was my favorite character growing up in the 80's with her particularly direct and aggressive applications of the power and when I was in COH beta the first character I made was a gravity controller/FF controller.

And in seven years I haven't made another. I got caught up in numbers and boom, moving from my first 50, a blaster, to an Illusion/Rad controller (I wanted to kill AV's all by myself), and an ice/kinetic corruptor, to a regen scrapper, and now my current obsession with Brutes and Tankers. I tried to subsume my psi obsession into my Fortunata, but...it did not feel right. My Fortunata felt like Superman to me and I couldn't get beyond it.

So after seven years I finally made a FF/Grav and thanks to the good folks on VIRTUE he is a blast to play and level up. He's not as self sufficient as my brutes (especially my current one) and Fortunatus, but he's my pure concept telekinetic and I love playing him on teams, which since I'm finally actively searching out teams instead of falling into them out of necessity, makes all of the difference of why it took till now to finally make one and play to 50.

When Namor is put into Patrick Fillion style poses he will be properly objectified. He's just under dressed when he isn't channeling Black Adam.

My favorite badge is "Praetor," followed by "Mayhem's Prodigal," "Moral High Ground" and "Knows The Truth."

After a long affair with Kinetic Melee, I have come back to Claws for my Claws/Regen Brute.

I'd like to throw in the real money option.

I tend to build for recharge (I have a "I WANT IT UP NOW" kind of approach to most of my builds.) With the addition of Positron's Blast and Decimation to the store, I've found that I can buy attuned versions of all the sets I used to craft for my melee and ranged characters.

There are exceptions, but on my latest brute, I just slotted attuned enhancements as he leveled up and gained the slots. It is a refreshing difference and may be, IMO, a way to get Inventions pleasures without crafting pain.

I did something last night I thought I would never do: deleted two level 50 characters (two tanks actually).

I had tried to play them both earlier in the evening and I had become increasingly irritated at them because they *felt* inferior to the tanks and brutes I had leveled to 50 since then.

I wondered if I was just in a bad mood, but I could not come up with a slotting combination that let me enjoy them and as I thought about it, I really stopped enjoying them when I could never get them to "mature" for me.

So...I carefully denuded them of expensive enhancements, sold some of it and mailed the rest off...and I deleted them.

"I needed the space," I told myself, and it was true. I didn't want to spend the PPs to transfer them to another server (I have ranged characters who need decimation sets). It was still an odd sensation. Two characters who I worked pretty hard to get to 50 rolled under because they were, in effect, training wheel characters for the tank and brute I feel absolutely super playing.

In the aftermath, I felt guilty, if not to the work than to the character concepts. "Maybe I should have been more flexible or something." Or, "I got you to 50, it just didn't work out."

Time to play with the new hotness.

Decimation...and Positron's blast?

I may never have to craft again....

The thing about Storm vs Thor: their powers both involve weather, but are very different.

Thor just does it. Storm is more of a mechanic depicted with far more granular control and a crap load of power stunts in multiple environments. Ultimate Marvel went out of its way to downplay Storm's power but this isn't Ultimate...thankfully.

This is mainstream marvel so it really will depend on how well read "comic wise that is" about the combatants.

Of course, my hope is that in the middle of the battle she undergoes apotheosis into the energy form she possessed in a future explored during some crossover in the 90's drawn by Alan Davis.
