are there any EU villain supergroups looking for members on freedom?

im trying to make a char purely for pvp. i was wondering which would be best? SS/FA or DM/FA?

SS has rage so you have 25% more acc and 80% more dmg all the time... and knockdown!

DM has a self heal.. so combined with FA, thats 2 selfheals... and it has immobilize and fear which might be useful?

or is there an different setup that would be better?

I tried to kill Kadabra on my SS/fire brute yesterday

the fight would go like this:

i run up, knock him down, then he immobilizes me, he runs away and spams immobolize 5 times, then beats me down from range...

so i was stood there unable to move or do anything at all while he slowly dropped my hp down... thank god for healing flames.

after about a minute im able to break free and run away

i tried the fight 6 times, and this happened each time.

i logged off in frustration the devs are evil to make a grav/kinetic hero NPC in this game...

so much control... so much MAYHEM!

and the carrion creepers + seeds of confusion combo just never gets old

made this video this morning

anyone else loving this combo?

are they any good?

i was jumping around bloody bay, but i couldnt find anyone to fight at all so i couldnt test it. is it a good build for pvp at end-game?

ok thanks, ill test it out then

is ss/fire good tanking in groups too? and soloing?

hi. i bought the game yesterday, but i havn't decided what char to play yet.

i would like to try brute. i love tanking in other games, so i wanna tank PvE in this game too - BUT i also wanna be strong in pvp.

i can't decide between elec, stone or superstrength.

i think stone primary is pretty cool with the shaky screen everytime you hit stuff, but it doesn't seem to have any aoe damage -- which i think might make it boring. i mean, taking on 20 guys at once is cool i dunno if stone will be good for that.

electricity has an endurance drain, which i think might be pretty good for pvp. also it has some nice aoes. plus it looks BADASS.

and superstrength which, visually, looks really boring ingame with no flashy effects or screen shaking i ain't too keen on it, but... there appears to be a buff called 'rage' that gives you 80% more damage ?!!!?! for TWO MINUTES?! that sounds crazy strong, and i think this would be good for doing some nice damage to bosses and stuff

also, which power is best for tanking/pvp?

and to clarify, i'm not looking for an "imba fotm faceroll" char or something. i just don't want to spend months leveling a char to lvl 50, only to find it is gimp for pvp, or can't tank very well. i wanna get it right first time :P

so, what kind of brute would be good for PvE tanking, soloing, and be decent for pvp too?

i dont really like the look of thugs :/

would bots/poison be better for pvp than necro? bots, imo, look pretty cool

i just got the game yesterday (ive not played CoH since 2004 :O 'meta volta' 50 ar/dev blaster on victory, if anyone remembers me? :P) and decided to play a Necro/Poison MM

is this combo good for leveling? so far ive not been having problems, cos my pet can solo stuff while i heal it with Akaloid, but i noticed neither necro or poison have any AoE abilities. is this gonna make leveling slow later on?

and for pvp, how does necro/poison do there? i noticed that the zombie henchmen only have a melee attack and don't run very fast... am i gonna have problems with people just running away from the minions or kiting them ? or does poison have some abilities to slow people down? (like web grenade from devices)?

or perhaps bot/trap will be better? i cant really decide which to chose. they both seem fun.

thanks
