No clue what to make...
Thugs/Dark Mastermind. You can't go wrong

I had been thinking about a mastermind, but judging by past experience, I tend to fail at managing minions. Epically. =P
Bots/traps MM. Bots are the best behaved in my opinion, and traps is just fun. Just put on bodyguard mode and steamroll everything

[/ QUOTE ]Thugs, Robotics, and Mercenaries don't require any management to be effective (though you do need some management for "most effective"). Especially with some of the recent changes to the Bruiser, like changing his Hand Clap to knockdown.

Any good non-MM suggestions? I've just never been a fan of the whole minions thing. I prefer straight out damage, like brutes, scrappers, and blasters. I would make a brute, but I already have 2 at 50...was hoping for something a little different.
I was gonna say "when in doubt, roll up a brute" but it sounds like you're over 'em.
The Goat is a fire/dark corrupter and I had a blast with him all the way to 50, most of it solo.
Also, if you haven't tried a stalker since the buffs give one a chance. I've been having a ton of fun with my ninja blade/willpower guy.
I've deleted probably ten stalkers since the launch of CoV, but this one is a blast.

My Energy/Energy stalker is kinda fun, but still at a low level.
Earth/Ice for a dom might be fun too. If you want something a bit different than you are used to, try a */storm corruptor. Early game is interesting, largely dependent on your primary, but there are some nice late game powers in storm, and I just kinda like the way it looks as well as how it plays.
I have a Fire/Thorny Dom. He's fun to me. Kinda like a scrapping troller with imps. Fire/Earth Dom is fun to me also. Nice holds, debuffs and attacking power.
I'll agree with Nethergoat on Fire/Dark Corruptor. Mine's not even 20 and I enjoy playing it

Mind/Elec Dom. Been having fun with mine. Lacks on the AOE, but I'm used to Single Target soloing.

I have a Gravity/Ice Dom that is pretty fun. Fire/Dark corruptor also comes highly recommended. I have a Dark/Kin corruptor that can solo decently, the debuffs in Dark help make up for lack of defense in Kinetics.
I have a DM/Nin stalker that absolutely rocks the house, so you could look into that as well.
That's about all I have villainside that I can offer any advice on.

I'm trying to figure out what character to make to work on my solo VG, and I'm stuck.
Right now my characters in the VG include a level 24 Fortunata, a level 12 Db/Wp Brute, a level 11 Elec/Regen Stalker, and a level 8 Ice/Energy Dominator. If I make a new character for it, I would prefer not to make a VEAT, and I'm a little iffy about a Brute or Mastermind, but I would be willing to give them a try if it's recommended.
I was thinking about making a Mind/Ice or Earth/ice Dom, and I also considered a Sonic/Dark or Sonic/Rad Corruptor...but at this point, I really don't know what I would do.
I would most likely be soloing almost all the time, and would prefer something that isn't too much of a late bloomer.
