I was just curious what toons/builds people were playing even after they dinged level 50. Whether it was to purp out the build or hoard influence for another toon, concept/role playing, badge hunt, or just because it is so damn fun.

I thought my Ill/Storm controller was going to be my go-to 50, until I started playing my Fire/Rad :-D

I play my Widow for content stuff and badges. I run TFs and whatnot with her. She only has one purple piece (a proc), but has a lot of other IOs.

Blueside I have a 50 Blaster that I use pretty much just for RP.

I use my 50's to get inf for my alts and to run a couple high end TF's. I don't exemp down. I run low TF with low toons for xp.

Speaking of your Ill/Storm, i have one at 39 and he kicks ... lol.

I run my TriForm Kheldians for all sorts of TFs and just for fun. I love shapeshifters

Red side I'll log into my Widow to run with my VG. That's pretty much the only reason I'll pick her up these days. I'll see what happens when my Bane hits the level cap.

I love my ill/storm, even at 50, i'll still pull him out and just go nuts with him. He's great on teams but even more fun solo when i can just let loose with all the chaos.

I bring out my fire/rad every so often, he's great on teams and when ppl ask for AV killers, i grab him and show him off. Still fun and monkeys make me happy.

[QR] Used to be my NRG/NRG Stalker, but that was mostly for farming RV. But since I got my Huntsman build SOA to 50, I tend to play him more often, which is good, my stalker needs those day job badges.

My Claws/Regen gets the most play blueside, but my AR/dev and rad/rad both get brought out a significant amount.

Redside my VEAT is the only one that gets playtime really.

All of my 50s get play time (mostly for concept and fun factors) but my main is an Energy/Energy/Force Blapper and gets the lions share of the time.

I just came back to the game after a brief recess and joined an well-established SG on a new Server (new for me, naturally) and created a new TriFormShade™ on it who's going to probably become my main (except for Thursday nights when I still hope to play my main TriFormPB on Infinity with her All Kheldian SG).

Kheldians are just so much fun for me, I keep getting pulled back to them despite other AT's being shiny.

I believe that a Kheldian Gold Standard should be based on SO's, and for anything above that... there's Platinum!

Most of my 50s get shelved the second they're out of powers to earn. The two that didn't are my rad/rad defender and earth/fire dominator. The earth/fire is the first character I've ever liked enough to put time and money into seriously IO'ing. ... I am cautiously interested in seeing how she performs now that i15 is out.

Having Vengeance and Fallout slotted for recharge means never having to say you're sorry.

I find that I always go back to my Ice/Fire Tanker. He's IO'd and Purple'd out and currently my toughest (survivability-wise) toon. Great for hazard zone sweeping or diving into a room packed with bosses.

I fine tool my Ice/ice/cold whenever there is a freespec. It amazes me how much cooler and cooler she gets.

With my grav/kin, its all about the tfs/badges/and GMs

I have a Purpled out PB I play to further IO tweak, gain badges, prestige etc. I also have a Crab that I do similar with. These are the two I play at 50 purely for enjoyment. I have other 50s, but most serve a purpose and get little play otherwise.

I play all my 50s but always come back to my elec blaster.

My energy/energy blaster never ceases to be fun and I'm constantly pulling out my rad/rad defender for task forces. Level 50 isn't the end.

TA/Dark/Dark. Everything else I play is just keeping myself busy while I try to figure out what I want to do next with my TA/Dark/Dark.

My DM/FA brute gets played a lot. It's my go to toon for when I'm not sure what I want to play. It's also my favoriate toon to solo with.

My Fire/Fire Blapper and Storm/Ice Offender get frequent play whenever I'm doing high level teaming.

I have given up on making alts for quite a while now. I think I have done everything, played every set that interests me etc.

These days, I only play Sunwind, my Scrapper blueside, and Blitzwolf, my Huntsman / Bane redside. Doing story arcs, SF/TF, Hami, etc.

Pretty much all the 50 in my sig, which is all my 50s save an unlisted Night Widow (who gets a lot of time).

In general my villains get more play time than my heroes these days, but they all get time.

Lately, I've been trying to Purple my 50 PB (got 18 purps so far) and let me tell you that is expensive in today's market. Even so, it doesn't feel grindy cuz I love playing her so much. So much beauty and on large teams so much power. Can't wait till GR so she can turn 'Ebil' for a while and ransack the Rogue Isles in all her glowing glory...

Yeah, I like 'er...

My cold/ice is the one who gets the most play now that she's past fifty. She's my go-to toon for missions and task forces, particularly, but she's also an RP toon.

I'm not the droid I'm looking for.

MA Arc ID 8121: Rapp'Mas'Ta's War. The Rikti are trying to incorporate sonic effects into their weapons? THAT can't be good. Maybe we should ask them to stop.
