THis is not a finished guide, I want comments on a project that may one day become part of my Powerset Selection Guide 2.0 .
I made a simple graphic to illustrate the difference between ATs, plotting them in a graph with Ranged/Melee and Attack/Defense axles. The graph can be found here.
First, did I do it right? Are the axles relevant, did I place the ATs right? My main doubt was Brutes - are they really more defensive than Stalkers? Because they can tank where Stalkers cannot, I placed them like this. The position of Dominators can also be questioned, but I figure control is all about defense, and their damage is less than that of Corruptors. Maybe move them a little more to the ranged side?
Second, it shows some interesting things we already knew.
Hero ATs are more extreme than villain ATs on the attack/defense axis. Defensive heroes are more defensive, aggressive heroes more aggressive.
Hero aggression is distrubuted between ranged/melee, villain aggression is in melee.
Nothing is as aggressive as a Blaster.

Beyond moving Masterminds up higher on the Attack line, it looks good.
My MM is only 16, but I've run with a couple of 40s, and their damage output is obscene.
Be well, people of CoH.

Having played a MM, I wouldn't move them up. Damage output might be good, but it is worse than a good Corruptor's.
