Need a new project.

Howdy all,

I'm a long time forum observer and now first time poster. I've been playing for 3 years now and have tried many different projects, but I tend to delete my characters after only a few levels. I'm looking for suggestions on a multipurpose character that can solo well, farm (not necessarily to fire/kin ability), and maybe take down an av or two.

My current day to day use characters include a dark/dark scrapper, a fire/kinetics controller, and an illusion/radiation controller.

I'm willing to try anything that would be able to meet the above stated criteria hero or villain. I appreciate all suggestions.

Thank you in advance,
Outernational

Spines/Dark, Spines/Fire or Spines/Elec scrapper.

They're AoE monsters, not to mention extremely fun. Just make sure to grab/slot stamina and slot for lots of endurance reduction.

To me, it seems that you're looking for too much from a single character. The ability to solo isn't a problem, given the different difficulty options anything can solo. Being able to farm and solo AV's that's a more difficult goal. You're essentially asking for a character with superior AoE damage and superior single target damage all while maintaining a high level of survivability.

Let's look at two of your current toons for examples. A fire/kin is both survivable and does good AoE damage. However, faced against a single powerful enemy your damage per endurance cost dramatically alters and your most powerful buff only does a fraction of what it does in a farming situation. An ill/rad on the other hand has tools to very effectively deal with a single powerful target, but lacks the AoE damage to make it competitive with most farmers.

I'm not saying that there aren't characters that can't handle both, but I would consider them exceptionally rare and very well built.

Fire/Shield Scrappers?

Yeah, pretty much. Built right, they can do just about anything. However, don't forget to bring your pocketbook. Even the cheap builds are expensive, and the high end ones can run 10B+.
