Archtype Suggestion Box

Technically with the new fire epic for scrappers you can have a debuffing scrapper (Melt Armor). Char is also in the epic, so there is a bit of control as well. Not to say that the ideas aren't good ones.

I always was wondering about the combos not included. The original problem about lack of balance, for which the original archetypes were constructed. That has been mitigated by changes to how inherent powers work, which often countebalance or compliment base modifiers. As such, my considerations would be these:
.................................................. .
Support/melee hero and Melee/support villain
Targeted debuffs changed into PBAoE debuffs, single +mez/minor damage resistance (or regen/def, depending on the set) armor given in place of a support power. (So all support sets would loose access to one power.)
Damage: Medium, HP: medium

Hero inherent gives +Dam per nearby foe, Villain's gives +Dam per fallen foe
.................................................. .
Debuff/Armor
All debuffs do high damage. Debuff sets have a few attacks added to them, toggle debuffs are toggle damage powers.
Damage:High, HP:Low

Inherent gives better recovery for every enemy counter attack.
.................................................. .
Assault/Armor
Uses Dominator assault set, and select armor sets.
Damage: medium, HP: Medium

Inherent: two click powers: One boosts damage, debuffs defenses, the other boosts defenses and HP.
.................................................. .
Range/Armor
Attack: medium, HP: low

Inherent: +boost to def/res/regen from secondary by attacking/being attacked
.................................................. .

Summon/Assault
Attack: medium, HP: Medium
Attacks removed from summoning sets, moved to the new assault sets. (Summoning sets are filled with limited buff/debuff abilities)

Inherent: +Res/def/regen to all pets near the summoner

That's my wishlist, at least.

I decided to go all out on the idea of a Melee/Debuffer and came up with four powersets (well three really, one is a 95% carbon copy of an existing one).


Archetype: Defiler
Hit Points: High
Damage: Medium

Inherent:
Sadism - The Defiler enjoys on the deprivation of others. This euphoria strengthens his ability to inflict pain on others. The more enemies are being affected by his powers, the stronger he becomes.

+3% Damage, +1% ToHit for every enemy afflicted by one of his debuffs (NOT controls) in a 15 feet radius. Max 10

Probably the toughest thing for an early Defiler would be survivability. He lacks even the most basic of defenses, ranged. Since he is frail, there is no reason for a taunt power in his primary, which has been replaced by the only thing that will keep him alive in the later levels, status protection. The two sets I put up there have four toggles each, but each is very end heavy. Although his secondary tier 9 grants some survivability with limited resistances and defenses, its main purpose is to make them a killing machine. This is one AT that will not have problems reaching the damage cap which would be higher than most but lower than brutes.

I suppose if they ever implement something like this, heroes would need a new AT too. I don't know, something Debuff-Buff/Pets, for the heroic masterminds they've been clamoring for.

Edit: Completely forgot, their Patron Pools wouldn't be all that hard to design. Something along the lines of:

1) Ranged Attack
2) Shield
3) Ranged AoE Attack
4) Miscellaneous
5) Pet

Some of my characters

Hey all it's me back with a new idea... An AT that uses melee weapons like broadsword, dual blades, war mace, etc as a primary and blasting as a secondary such as fire blast, dark blast, radiation blast, energy blast, electircal blast, etc (also gonna say i want to have a gravity defence and or blast power set for whatever appropriate ATs)

Elemental Soldier
HP(Low) Damage (High) Primary (Melee) Secondary (Ranged)
The Elemental Soldier is the all around offence of his team. He uses his own natural weapons mastery in close combat and relies on his elemental abilities to defeat fleeing enemies. He has low hitpoints and absolutely no defence but he makes up for it with near obscene damage.
