Hi guys and gals,

Like the title says I am new to the game (started out yesterday) and I am looking for a supergroup that doesn't mind showing a newcomer around.
My nick is Grao and I am a energy/electric blaster.

Thanks upfront.

Cheers.

Thanks; I will take you up on your offer ;-)
I must say though that all classes are somehow appealing and all the differences in builds kinda makes me wonder how long it will take for me to find a char I wanna take to 50.
Really good fun this game; a pity I didn't try this earlier.

aye you got a great selection here

if you want a easy start make a scrapper..I personally find tanks easier to lvl but it requires knowledge in teams

What spec would you choose? Because it is rather confusing reading these guides with all the abbreviations and stuff

Pick MA regen. Broadsword is prolly better at latter levels, but a late shiner IMHO

i have to protest here, i would not take regen as a first toon, first of all its a squishy toon, and expensive as i dont know what.. spent more inf on my lvl 35 ma/regen than i did on my 50 stone/ss all together

Not sure if I would agree with this however. I picked a regen as my first toon and never had a problem. Sure you get hit harder, but downtime between fights is minimal compared to a BS/Invul which I am playing atm, and I have this toon at L23. And the basic heal does recharge pretty quickly and can be used often.

Didn't have a problem with inf although I probably solo'd alot more when I started, and as I team alot more now have a lot less inf for a L24 WS compared to my L25 blaster.

to the poster:

what you should do is give us some idea of how you like to play - do you mostly enjoy dealing damage? do you like protecting your team by taking the hits for them? do you like to be in the thick of a battle in melee range? Do you like a more tactical style of play?

Then I can give you my best opinion on what class/powersets you would like.

Having tried out most types of alt(ernate character), I would agree that */regen scrapper is among the easiest to play. You can solo most missions without undue difficulty, but they also fit well into teams.

Having said that, it's all about play style - my first character (empathy/energy defender) went to 50, whereas my PB (Peacebringer) is still languishing in the mid-30s, having been overtaken by my stone/fire tank (50), my Illusion/kinetics controller (35) and being approached by my claws/regen scrapper (30).

The 'secret' to the game (IMO), however, is to find a group of people whose company you enjoy, then team with them a lot. If you are in a good team, you will enjoy playing no matter what AT you have...

Good luck and welcome to CoX, amigo!

Well after reading some guides I definately want to try a controller; was thinking of Illusion/Kinetics. I read a lot of guides and the prob is that they all have something that seems appealing hence my dilemma's :-)
