*Hologram hero. The hero is never physically in the field, he only ever projects a "hard light" hologram that has limited ability. While the hologram can be dispersed, it can just be rebroadcast with ease. |

Hmm, I suppose you are correct. I guess I should say: I don't think they should proliferate it to Controllers UNTIL they fix the percieved inequality between Defenders and Controllers (Although something I heard about a new version of Vigilance will help, I think)

Pretty sure that's why we have multiple costume slots. Although I will grant you that a new "Liquid Metal" overall costume would be really nice, the old "Metallic" set badly needs to be updated.|

Sonic Dominator who plays a set of Pan-pipes to cast a spell over his enemies. I have the satyr costume saved and the character name reserved, just waiting on the devs now... 
Dark/Dark(/Dark) Controller
Dual Pistols/Poison Corruptor
Either Thugs or Demons / Sonic Mastermind
Ninja/Kinetic Mastermind (for the lulz)
I'd also like to see a variant of Defenders/Corruptors with Assault sets instead of Blast sets. And the same for Scrappers.
Illusion dominator. I want to combine Illusion Control with Energy Assault.

Poison/Mind defender.

melee/melee
Screw defense, screw mezz protection, just high risk for high reward point-blank damage dealing. Similar to a Blapper, but with melee in the primary as well.
The Bacon Compels You.
1. Ice Armor/Spines Tanker
2. Stone Armor/Spines Tanker
3. Illusion Control/Dark Miasma Controller
Winteriel Ice/Fire/Soul Tanker | @TBoxer Global | City of Heroes R.I.P. (2004-2012)
Maybe I'm thinking small here, but I'd love to get my hands on either a Martial Arts/Devices scrapper or a Ninjas/Katana mastermind.

FUN FACT: That burst of light when you level up is actually the effectiveness escaping from your enhancements all at once.
A Grenade Lancher Control/Gataling Gun Assalt Dom.
Would be the best toon EVER
Captain Den'Rath 53* Merk/Traps MM, Rivona 50Energy Blast/Time Cor,Victoria Von Heilwig 53* Dual Pistols/Traps Cor, Crab Spider Webguard 53* SOA, Accela 53* Bot/FF MM,Valkyrie's Executor 53* Broadsword/Shield Def Scrap. On FREEDOM! @Knight Of Bronze
"Hypocrisy, the human inherent." "Let not this work be wasted, apply yourself always."
Gravity Control/Assault Rifle Dominator. Gravity effects tinted blue.
Yes, I'm aware Dom secondaries have melee in them too. Give it a rifle butt and/or some Martial Arts moves or something.
This may or may not have anything to do with me having recently played Mass Effect 2.
Broad Sword Brute.
