Controllers. Why? Because they had a huge grab bag of tricks, generally had enough offense to get the job done (albeit slowly at first), and had the potential to be incredibly powerful at high levels.

2. In possible contrast, when it comes to your favorite character, what kind was it? List AT and the two main sets.

Illusion/Radiation Controller. Why? Because it had a great toolkit. Damage at lvl 1 that got better as you hit certain levels, both strategic and chaotic crowd control, invulnerable pocket tanks, pocket blaster pet, the best invisibility option a non stalker can get, great buffs and debuffs that helped solo and group play and the ability to heal myself and others. It was the perfect combo for me.

3. What AT did you evolve to enjoy over the years that you disliked initially?

Tankers. Why? Between some buffs over the years and inventions I realized tankers could be incredibly sturdy while having a decent kill speed, and there was something fun about jumping into huge swathes of mobs and essentially ignoring their best efforts to kill me. The initial turn offs were toggle drains on endurance, low damage and, after the GDN, the sturdiness was lacking.

None of my friends are even remotely interested in playing this game. I'm only marginally interested due to one or two of the races I saw pics of, but my experience with the first game was so bad that I won't just drop money for the sequel without trying it first.

Prior to the release of City of Villains it would be Blasters, but afterwords it became Brutes *by far.* It's telling that my "final character" to enjoy the game for these last three weeks is a Brute.

Perturbation, my Energy/Energy/Soul Brute. I've put twice as much time into him as any of my other characters. My "namesake" character Coulomb (an Elec^3 blaster) is a *very* close second - he's the first character I ever made, the first one I ever got to 50; I think the only reason he isn't my favorite is that I got him to 50 way back in the era when the only thing to do was go on Hami raids, so, for years, I stopped playing him. By the time there was real content for 50s, I was already very invested in Perturbation and didn't really go back to playing Coulomb until Death Incarnate. In fact, I was kind of surprised when I dusted him off to find he still had his *pre-ED* slotting - I don't think I'd realized just how long he'd been shelved. It's probably also no coincidence that a "recreation" of Coulomb is the first character I'm playing through CO with...

One aside, there is a third character that is very dear to my heart: my Inv/Axe Tank Lethal Guardian; I only played him in a team with my wife and some good friends. My wife lost interest in the game around the time the Incarnate Trials came out (actually, large-scale raid content to advance your character was such a turn off for her that it drove her away from the game), and I never really played him again (I just can't find Tanks very fun solo), but for a long time he was at the top of my list of important characters.

3. What AT did you evolve to enjoy over the years that you disliked initially?

Stalkers. Every time I tried to play one, I just got bored. It always seemed like they were an awful combination of squishy with never enough attacks available to feel like I actually had much of an attack chain. The recent changes (i.e. addition of Assassin's Focus, etc.) completely revitalized them for me - I really found them fun to play after that... So it wasn't really an evolution so much as a positive change turned 'unfun' into 'fun.'

Never really liked Controllers or Masterminds, and never changed my tune on that. It wasn't for lack of trying - but I always got so very bored with playing them when I tried, and couldn't go on...

2. Defender Empathy/Rad. But the real reason I like her is because she was a Blonde Kitty which I RPed the snot out of.

3. Masterminds: Tookme a while to master these but once I did they were fun.

EDIT: You know it's an old joke but now that I think about it my TA/A does technically have a healing arrow thanks to the Defender's Bastion set.
