I'm still pretty new to CoH and I was wondering if anyone could help me? I'm looking for a "class" that does a lot of aoe damage and such(Since I noticed npcs seem to cluster a lot) Also I was wondering if anyone had any tips for a new player? like how to make money and general things every player should know?

The Archetype you're looking for is a Blaster, as they rule the AOE and damage roost. Look into the Blaster forum for specific Blaster advice.

If you want to learn how to make Inf' reliably, look into the market forum and read the guides and advice to be found there. The answers may surprise you.

Yes. I can get lost on a straight-line map.

Every hero and villain archetype has an AOE-capable set or sometimes multiple AOE-capable sets. Where do you prefer to play? In melee or out at range?

As far as "how to make money", head down to the Market forum.

I prefer ranged. And my friend was telling me that with the right set up or something you could be a dominator and stay in domination mode nearly all the time which sounds really nice. Is it good?

Dominators are great at AOE, most of their powers in their primaries are mostly AOE and there are some secondary sets that get decent AOE powers. "Perma-Domination" is nice since Domination makes your mezzes better/longer. It's not nearly as good as it used to be before Dominators were revamped to do better damage outside of Domination. But it's still nice.

It requires significant investment, in terms of money and time, to create a perma-Dom character. It requires a lot of extra recharge, in the way of Invention System set bonuses.

That doesn't offer help, just a limitation. Besides i'm sure I could eventually afford it. If not I do have a level 50 friend that -may- beable to help if I ask nicely enough.
