Thanks for the feedback everyone. My main hesitation on rolling with a widow is having to do the first 20 levels or so red side. I don't usually like to play in the Isles. But, in the end it seems to be the best overall fit for my theme, so I went that route. So far I'm enjoying her. I have her up to level 12 at the moment.

You should have enough server slots for each character you created, plus any empty slots you had purchased prior to going Premium. I've let my VIP sub, drop for a few days here and there and I have always gotten all 16 of my slots back afterwards.

For normal content SO work fine. My question is with the incarnate stuff. Although I'm a long time player and have a level 50, I haven't played any of the incarnate trials. Do you end game content is balanced around SOs?

Thanks for the responses. I think I' going to try a Fortunata build. I also like the Mind/Psi Dominator, but only if I could make it viable without using Mesmerize, Confuse/Mass Confuse, Hypnosis or Terrify. I know they are pretty much must have powers, but they don't fit the thee for the character concept. If I do manage to figure out a descent build I'll post it here. Since i mainly play solo/small teams PvE it might be okay.

I'm thinking of rolling up a ranged psi based ranged character and was wondering what the board's opinion is as to which AT would be the best choice. I tend to build my characters more around theme rather than number crunching. For example I was messing around in Mids trying to find a descent build that only used Force Blast, Telekinetic Blast, Psionic Tornado, Psychic Scream and Psychic Shockwave as it's main attacks as I don't really like the animations for most of the psi attacks.

I'm betting they are referring to Death From Below. I know when I say it that is what I mean. I'm pretty sure many people don't know about the LFG tab, because for three days now I've entered the queue for over 30 minutes and never got into a Trial.

The costumes already shown look awesome! You might also take a look at some of the new CoT costume pieces. They might work for a priest type character. I was messing around with them and the white with red trim looks nice.

The Rune Soldier rifle could work, but the two they removed looked really neat and had glowing magic runes them. They had a really magical feel to them. Right now I'n using the retrorifle as it too can pass for magical.

Does any know if the Beam Rifles they made available in Beta- for a few days anyway- are unlockable in game? I'd really love to get my hands on one for my magic themed Beam Rifle character.

Keep in mind that Burn for scrappers still has the fear component, so things will run away from you. If you plan on using Burn a lot Brute might be a better choice.

I've only just started my KM/Inv Scrapper (lv 10 currently), but so far I'm loving it. Invulnerability isn't too flashy and ends up with some really solid Resists all around. It could also fit the Kinetic theme too, depending how you explain it.

I was actually looking at a melee focused Fort with Scream, Wail, tornado, etc. I hadn't thought about the auras. I'll have to check them out and see if I like the look. I also originally saw it as a male toon, But it would work as a female as well.

Thanks for the feedback.

I have this concept in mind for a psionic melee/psionic armor based toon. Basically his melee attacks are infused with psionic energy and he can encase himself in psionic armor. My problem is deciding on a set of primary and secondary power sets.

Currently i'm trying him out as a KM/Fire scrapper. I like it so far, but I'm not sure how well Fire fits the psionic armor idea, especially considering its lack of psi def/res. Dark would be a great choice for the psi defense, but again I'm not sure how well it fits visually as a substitute for psi-armor.

So my question is, which pair of power sets do you think would most closely represent a melee focused, psychic combatant with psi-armor?

For quite some time now I have had a problem with not being able to see how much an enhancement will increase the percentages of the type of enhancement(dam, acc, etc) when placing them into the powers. At first when you hover over the enhancement slot it will give me the numbers, but after level 10 it seems to stop doing so. Also for set IOs I cannot see which piece(s) if the set are already slotted.

My question is, is it suppose to do that? and if not how can I fix it. It is pretty annoying not being able to tell how much an enhancement will hurt help my power. For SO/DO it isn't so important, but for IOs, especially sets it is very hard. I've wasted so much influence buying IO's only to find that I already have that enhancer in my power.

I don't have a SD/SS, but my WP/SS is level 47. I have found Foot Stomp to be very useful. I'd highly recommend it. with Shield Charge I think Foot stomp would add even more to damage mitigation. I also have the fighting pool and haven't regretted it. From what I have read on SD guides Fighting pool is a good choice. I too do not really care for the Tanker epics, but Conserver Power is nice. Focused Accuracy is good too, but it is another toggle and with IO bonus' you probably won't need it often. Hope this helps you out.

Thanks Muon. It sounds like your build is similar to what I had planned, except I hadn't given any thought to Stealth and Super Speed. In all my years playing I've yet to take Super Speed. Maybe I should give a try this time.

Once I get my proposed build down on Mid's I'll post it if I can figure out how to do so.

Yeah the power choices are pretty tight. I'm still on the fence with Siren's Song. On one hand I tend to solo a lot so it might come in handy. On the other hand There are a lot of multi-target attacks between the two power sets so the odds of waking up the sleepers is higher. I usually skip sleep powers on my toons, but I've seen a lot of guides suggest taking them.

Has anyone roleld up a Sonic / Mind blaster? I've been checking out the ofrums and guides to figure out the build, but there isn't much in the way of these two powersets together.

Any suggestions on powers to skip or definate powers to take?

Is there a guide for Sonic/Mind hiding somewhere in this thread?

Thanks. I've been away for a few months and wasn't sure if it was scheduled maintenance. Plus the whole up/down up/down thing was freaking me out. It says everything is up now, so I guess I'll try again. If not, I'll just go to bed, since it is going on midnight here.

Are the servers up or down? I got booted from the game while in the character creator and when I try to login it doesn't work. I checked the server status page and it said they were up. I tried to log in and it didn't work, but now the site says the servers are down. About five minutes later it says servers are up, but when I log in it doesn't work and it says servers are down. This has been happening for about an hour now.

anyone have a Willpower/Dark Guide? I am currently leveling one. He is only level 7, but rocks so far. My buddy has one around level 35 or so and loves it. It looks like a fun, solid build, but i want to hear what other veteran players have to say.
