I have one deletable character in Defiant and plenty available slots on Union, so the choice would be on what it's best for most of the people.

Uhm, that could be cool, but it strikes me as too few diversity. Think that there are 8 primaries available, we could even try to use one different for every teammamberÂ… but it would make the choosing process too difficult. I thinks it's best if everyone chooses what he/she wants.
EDIT: I myself have an Mind/Empath controller and a Dark/dark defender. I love both characters and their powersets, but I woud rather not repeat myself... so many powersets to try!
I'd defo be up for it 
Either server, preferably Defiant tho. Send a tell to @Meko with when / where =]
Also - I think I'll be a Storm defender or Rad, if that helps with team building etc.
Some of us tried this on Union a few months back - we only got into the teens before people got bored. I have a lvl 12 Kin/Energy Defender on Union that's up for it, if the times don't clash with what I have already.

Nice idea, on defiant i have a lvl18 sonic/psi defender, probably can free up 1 more slot if if needed/i like to try another set.
Sets i would take are TA/arch, storm/elec, sonic/psi, kin/elec and dark/sonic.

hello, i'm a little frenchie loving defenders, i usually play on vigilance but 'll be very happy to participate to this project : no toon to delete nice.
On our server there is something like that called KBI, i didn't try but they say that is very great : they have a fixed build until lvl 25 rad/son, have their own discusison canal and team often together.
I would like to play a dark/dark or TA/A defender

Yes I have seen some teams with fixed builds, and though I think that would probably be the way to maximize efficiency, I also think that would be somewhat dull. The only "fixed" power choice I propose is Assault at level 6 and Tactics at level 14 for everybody. And please pick all attacks you can. The moment we all pick Tactics, we can loose all Accuracy enhancement slots and change them for damage or end reduction or recharge.
I would also advice people to not pick travel power and prerequisite for it. It is nice to have two more options for powers. We could use the two temporary travel powers from safeguard missions (would be enough up to level 24 at least) and then do the respec trial together. Most of us will probably have some veteran respec, but anyway we should do the trial at level 24 for those who don't (and it is a fun trial too).
That would leave each of our builds to pick up to 12 powers of 13 available from primary and secondary up to level 24. Which would lead to very strong and fast developing buffing/debuffing/attacking builds early on.
What do you think about Union and all Fridays at 17.00 GMT? It's only a first proposal, just to see what other people propose.

I think it would be nice if we all start together from level 1 in the Outbreak tutorial and then head to Atlas. Level 12 is what... 2-3 playing sessions in an 8-man team? That said, if you really love that character of course you could join the rest of the team once we reach level 10-11.
I'll also have Inertial Reduction (Ally PBAoE Super Jump buff) from lvl 18 and Speed Boost (ally Super Speed buff, amongst other benefits) I have already at lvl 12. So that should help somewhat.
17:00 might be a bit early for me once term starts - is 18:00 OK?

So far we have 7 people interested:
1- Inercia
2- Phil_
3- _Spirit
4- Dead_Bleak
5- JayLeonHart
6- Sunergy_X
7- Melian
If it is OK with everybody, let's say... UNION?
Friday? 19.00 GMT (beware, most continental Europe is GMT+1, so it will be 20.00 for non-British)
We would meet at Outbreak tutorial and then head to Atlas.
If possible it would be good if we could previously discuss which powersets each one of us will choose.
Done all defender teams before.
Things melt. Fast.
Went out AV hunting one Saturday evening a while back with (I think) 6 defenders.
My Dark/Dark/Dark Offender
An empath or two
Kineticist or two
A Rad.
(can't remember the exact team makeup)
Not a Single AV lasted more than a couple of minutes.
Not a single team member dropped below 80% health.
It was frantic.
So yes, all defender teams work, spectacularly well.

No need for all to choose different primaries. If you want */Archery I would tell you to choose Archery/*. So you wont have to redraw the bow constantly.

Yeah, 19.00 GMT is 20.00 here... bit late too. But as it is on Friday and most people does not work on Saturady, I could work well.

Sorry, nope.
Merely posting my experiences of an all defender team, and confirming that it's entirely viable.
I don't have the time to dedicate to a fixed evening/team.
And besides, I merely state that the above post *may* contain etc. etc. etc. no point tying myself down to a certain style of post :P
:edit: (and forgot to mention that this was a level 50 AV ganking team. Not sure I want to run another Defender up to 50 yet. Saving my last couple of character slots to see what, if any, interesting new powersets arrive in the next issue.) :/edit:

I already gave TA on my MM (wich is a nightmare, but still) and i try to vary my character as much as possible Got dark also on MM, /rad on my troller, already have a emp defender, Kin isnt really my style (thats redraw time) as sonic only has 1 debuff and 1 aoe, rest is buff or toggle. Ok final one is FF, but i'm not that fan of it :P But if no one is going TA, i still can consider it, perhaps it work better on Defenders then on MM .

Id be up for this on friday im already lvl 10 toon is Kin/psy called Angel one send me a tell when your on!
I imagine that this idea has ocurred to someone else before and probably has been done:
A team entirely and exclusively composed of Defenders.
I think it would be amazing. With some minor planning concerning builds, the possibilities would be awesome!
Defenders may have usually low damage output but this is mainly because they concentrate in their buffing/debuffing powers. My idea is a team made of offenders. Let's see:
- As there would be 8 defenders in the team, there would be no need for Fitness pool in the builds. There would be constantly in effect some +recovery power: Recovery Aura, Speed Boost, Accelerate metabolism... Also, there could be constantly a "green blanket" effect to counter the squishiness and mezz protection would be granted to everybody by some other teammember. That would leave space in the builds to take more of the blasting (offenderish) powers.
- Imagine 8-stacked Leadership powers: Assult provides +18.75% damage. That means + 150% damage for everyone (defenders do no damage? ha!). Tactics provides 18.75% to-hit buff when three-slotted. That would mean +150% to-hit buff (or corresponding capped value) when eight-stacked. Obviously that would mean absolutely no need for accuracy enhancements when everybody had the power. And those two powers should be picked at level 6 and 14 respectively. That would be the only "must" in the build. (Also, with that big amount of to-hit buffing, even the temporary powers as Sands of Mu or Nemesis staff would hit as often as any other power)
- With a big amount of defense buffing (forcefields) and debuffing (dark, radiation), the ability of the enemies to hit the teamemmbers would be practically nonexistent (5%). Using 8-stacked three-slotted maneuvers for an additional 40% defense would be overkill. And could lead to endurance issues even with +recovery powers running. Anyway, it could be considered for sheer überness...
- As everybody would be a Defender, there would be no need to explain the importance of not killing the anchor! In fact, everybody could use the same enemy as anchor... and that would even be fun to see.
- What else... yes! Everybody could of course choose the secondary that he wanted, although I think a very good choice could be Electrical Blast: a couple of endurance modification-slotted Short Circuits would render the mobs without any endurance. If the eight defenders had that... anyway, that would not be a "must" (only Leadership would be).
I think this team could be great fun and tremendously effective. It would be important that everybody played like an "offender", contributing to cause damage. I believe that enemies would be so highly-debuffed that they would represent no danger, even in a tankerless team. I have read posts of solo defenders taking on AVs. I believe that an 8-defender team could take on anything with nearly insulting ease (past the few first levels).
Of course, the power choices and slotting would be very different than for a usual defender (no need to pick stamina, no need to slot accuracy...) so it would be important that at least 5 or more people would be present at each session. One day should be picked to play and stick to it weekly.
Well, who wants to sign in?
