I would do DP/Devices if I didn't just totally hate Devices.
I'm leaning toward DP/Traps Corruptor. True I'll have to drop some traps in battle, but after the first couple I can focus on pistols. The rest of the powers are things I can do at my leisure outside of combat. Traps is one of the only sets I have more than 90 levels of experience with. Only downside there is the prep time can be kinda long depending, and if a team is steamrolling I don't have as much time or even need to lay down traps. Though in theory in a situation like that, I can just come out with guns blazing.
Current plan is to do DP/Traps Corr with a DP/Devices Blaster buddy in a duo. We may be picking up a third, who is still deciding between the two. 2x DP/Traps Corrs would provide a lot of defense and debuffs, and everyone would be doing nice damage. Though all of this hinges somewhat on what DP actually does. It may do something really compelling that causes me to roll DP/Devices.

This is kind of how I feel. I will make a DP character no question, the AT and secondary are still undecided (no Defender for me, the guns are the source of his power and therefore the most powerful aspect of the character) but it will depend on what set will have the least redraw. But we'll see, maybe I can learn to accept the redraw for the benefits of /kin.|

EDIT: Wouldn't it be nice if BAB's or someone had the time to get rid of redraw all together?

Yes please. I've been wanting a non-MM /poison user for a long, long time.

Well, my original plan was for a Traps/DP Defender who worked for the ParagonPD, but (unless there are alternate animations) the animations for the set are entirely too flashy for a Police Officer to be using.
So I'll switch over to a Steampunk themed Praetorian fighting for the Resistance (hopefully we get some decent old-fashioned guns). Either a DP/* Corruptor (who will become a hero) or a DP/* Blaster (who will be a Vigilante).
If the Dual Pistols set is as good at Area of Effect damage as it looks (A Rain of Arrows clone and a Point Blank Area of Effect?! AND both can be used in melee after Fulcrum Shift?!) I might just have to do something for the first time...I might just reroll my Fire/Kinetics Corrupter since I also want to create a Fire/Trick Arrow Corrupter on that server but hate duplicating sets.
Favorite Hero: Computer (Empathy/Energy Blast Defender)
Favorite Villain: Gimp Computer (Fire Control/Psionic Assault Dominator)
hmmmm a Kin/DP corruptor.....
The hard things I can do--- The impossible just take a little bit longer.
If numbers are so much more important than a teammate who is fun to play with, forget about the game altogether and go play with a calculator instead. -Claws and Effect-

I've already got the name Midnight Gambler nabbed for a pistols/dark corr. He also is one of my few that'll use the tarot cards thematically...
oh and edit to add: I'm still playing some of my "all natural" superspies on Protector. So I'll definitely be making a few pistol packing spies. Not sure of the combinations yet and still got my fingers crossed for an MA style blapper secondary (not direct port but ninjitsu meets MA with a few thrown weapons for good measure).

IMO, yeah, even for superhero universe cops.|

That's okay though. I realize (and accept) that this set was geared more towards all those people who've been begging for Gun-kata/Gun-fu sets for god knows how long. I'm just glad they agree with me on Pistols != melee set.
I can adapt my concepts, or come up with new ones.
I will be going for DP/Kin and DP/Dark. For me, Scourge will make up for redraw.
Currently playing:
The Domestic: Broom/WP
Shadowhex: Dark Control/Dark Affinity
Defenestration Lass: Grav/Kin

I've got a name reserved which I won't post on here like some idiots have done before me.
I'm planning a DP/elec blapper concept. An awesome man with pistols and electric punches flying out of nowhere.
Go me, I stepping out from the crowd!
And, as an added note, Redraw doesn't affect activation time. Just animation time.
I might make a Rad/DP Defender or something similiar.
My DP will be peppermint-flavoured.
DP/MM Blaster
DP/Dark fender or Corr
@Effy
Effy On Hot Sauce Fire/Cold Corr
Effy On Hot Chilli Fire/Dark Corr
Effy On Heat FM/SD Before FoTM
Effy Unleashed DP/EN Blaster 1st 50 @ Union
I have an undead gunslinger called "Billy the Corpse" planned as a Corruptor. I'd like to hold out until/if the possibility of DP/Poison appears, but I may well cave and just make him DP/Dark instead.
... unless Corruptors get Poison. OMG.
That would be pretty awesome. I won't touch poison as a mastermind mostly because I find it TOO single target focused but I would kill for it as a corruptor. I would drop my plans for a DP/Dark or DP/Traps in an instance if I could have DP/Poison.
