A Twist for my Hero's Career

Hey all, i got an idea which im gunna do, but im afraid i dunno what go with here.. here my plan.

Im going to make a hero, and make his career to mostly streep swipe, and of course ill still team for TFs, and friends,family, etc.. I will level him to like Level 8-10, and ill just sweep up Perez Park, then when he/she hits 16-18, do the same thing but with "The Tunnels".. Then again for Level 21-25 for Dark Astoria. But i think u get the picture eh? Like i said i still like to team, i guess this be what i be doin when no one is on.. I was thinking of a Ice Controller, with Storm. Or a Fire/Storm.. Im open to play a Scrapper or Tanker which be good for this.. i just want something which can handle those big grps in those areas..im a pve only player, and any suggestions, any powersets or archtype is open.. i like to play pretty much everything.. i currently have a 50 Fire/Kin Troller, 50 Fire/SS Tank , 50 Kat/SR Scrap, 50 DM/DA Scrap.. i dont like playing powersets twice, but i loved Fire Shield, Fire Control .. i just cant play another DM/DA or /SS...

Most of my toons run the hazard zones solo to lvl. I have done the same missions over and over, and quite frankly, the content was getting to me. Of course, that was before mission scaling. Now that you can run mish's at whatever lvl you want, its better xp.

Still, there is nothing quite like melting a hazard zone spawn of mobs, and the leveling speed is nothing to sneeze at.

I find when hunting hazard zones, especially at low levels, you need to maximize your aoes with as much surviveability as possible. For example, I have an arch/mental blaster that was a furious leveler until he hit the wall of death at 23 in terra. There was no more hazard zone hunting for him. I am a sad bear.

I prefer melee toons for street sweeping, specifically scrappers, tanks just dont put out enough orange numbers to satiate me anymore. So Spines was a natural choice for for me with its aoes. Fire is a good secondary, with its fast recharging heal, and end recovery, but you will die alot. My spines/fire was my fastest lvling toon period. Of course, until you can get some decent slotting in, a spines/fire always skirts the edge of dying faster than killing, but thats what being a scrapper is about to me. For something sturdier, willpower is good, and invuln is nothing to sneeze at.

As for controllers, although fire/storm is fun as hell, I think a fire/rad will be alot safer through the whole toons career.

If you ever want a breakdown of my favorite hunting area's lvl by level, and what groups I would pick on, just let me know. Hazard zones are way under utilized.

P.S. Awesome name for your SG

ty for ur help, and that be awesome and thx, SG name is a song name by a band called Skinny Puppy.

My DB/Fire and Fire/Shield scrappers both spent a lot of their careers in hazard zones with good success.

Ironically, I can't stand street sweeping, but my character Joe Everyman's whole concept is that he blends in with the NPCs on the street and fights street crime. He shouldn't really be doing missions.

I suppose I should just bite the bullet and give it a try, I hear it's not as hard as it used to be. But I just can't shake the painful memories of when my Defender was trying to limp his way through the late teens on nothing but spawns in Skyway City, because he ran out of missions before hitting 20. (This was back just after release)

i made a Ele/Shield Scrapper for the job
