Well, hm...
First off, there's no need to pick and choose: with 12 character slots per server, you have plenty of room for alts. And I can't advise you on PvP because I don't participate much myself.
For a simple, survivable character that is easy to build and play, I would recommend any Willpower brute. Electric Melee, Claws, and Super Strength all have good area damage, although Super Strength has to wait the longest to get it. That said, all Tanks, Brutes, and Scrappers are completely playable at this point, so you can choose whatever you like and do all right.

Why MA ratings should be changed from stars to "like" or "dislike"
A better algorithm for ordering MA arcs

Willpower is a very popular pick, mainly from the high regen in big mobs.but im interested to see how they do set to a 8 man team in i16
Claws gets great aoe danage , in fact the aoes do more damage then the single target attacts in the set, witch is uncommon. claws also has fast recharge and low end cost.
the knock on it is the small radius on Spin and eviserates long animation, but they are very good anyways.
Herding is dead, has been for a long time sad to say, and with the new difficulty system you can make mob groups so big that you cant argo them all (i believe the cap is 16 or 17, i may be wrong) i currently use a Claws/elec brute and set to 8 man team size i can see 4 of them just stand there untill i kill enough to free up the aggro cap space.
Well going off all you said i might go with somthing like ss/fire or ss/inv. SS/WP is what i noramly say for new players but there not so hot in pvp and i know that both the two others are a bit harder but they can be good at pvp. I havent played claws yet so i cant say much about them at all and the +dmg and acc with SS will help you out in pvp.
Wat if u dont hav enough room 2 down load do u have to another off?
Hello all
i started COX a few months ago. i was a former WoW player with an 80 feral druid specced for pvp
my issue at the moment is choosing an AT and powersets. there's just so much to choose from! i'm sure as i play, i will learn more about these, but it's very daunting at the moment. i'd appreciate any advice based on some points below if possible:
a) i would like to be a tanker, scrapper or brute as i've always liked melee toons more than ranged or support classes
a) in an ideal world, i would like a toon based on strong AoE powers. i just enjoy the challenge of hearding a load of mobs and nuking them all down without dying
c) i also want to get into the pvp aspect of the game at 50 as much as possible. my style of pvp always seemed to be about outlasting the opponent as opposed to bursting but i'll try anything.
at the moment, i have a dark/dark scrapper at lvl 7. i had a concept and liked the fact there was a dark Ancillary power pool for scrappers to complete the concept.
any feedback would be appreciated. my apologies if this information has been covered else where
