Shuffling a deck of goons

One of my unspoken rules of making new alts is 'Two of each'. The other is 'Never the same thing twice'.

Basically, I limit myself to two of each archetype, and try to never re-use a powerset.

As it stands, I have:
2 blasters, Arch/Dev and Psi/Mind
2 Scrappers, Ma/SR and Kat/Will
2 Tanks, Fire/axe and Shield/Dark
2 Defenders, Sonic/Elec and Cold/ice
2 Controllers, Earth/storm and Ill/Emp

1 Corruptor, Dark/dark
1 stalker, Elec/nrg
1 Mastermind, Mercs/traps
2 Brutes, Mace/inv and DB/elec
2 Dominators, mind/elec and grav/mind
1 Arachnos Soldier


NOW. I'm planning on doing some house-cleaning when GR hits. I'm considering:
Making a new, praetorian MA/Nin stalker.
Re-rolling my Fire/axe Tanker as fire/fire.
Rerolling my dominators are Mind/mind and Grav/nrg

So, when I 'shuffle in' the new MA/Nin, there will be a conflict with my Ma/SR scrapper.

So, can anyone think of another role for this young woman to slide into? She's a bat-themed luchadora named 'La Noche Colmillo'.

And can anyone spot any areas where I've broken my own rules and used a powerset (Or functionally identical powersets) more than once?

She could be a warshade.

And at a stretch, the blaster's devices could be considered similar to the mastermind's traps. But not identical by any definition.

good luck on fire/fire
i have a broot with fire aura and hate it

why no regeneration?
instead of MA would you consider going Kinetic blow?
you seem to use dark a lot as in corruptor dark/dark
tank shield/dark so might not want a warshade

noche should be a brute..howabout kinetic blow/ inv

make the powers dark black n blue or a crab /bane(VEAT) to go with night widow

and check out electric control before u choose grav/nrg for dom


as Ood Sigma said....We will sing to you, Doctor. The universe will sing you to your sleep. This song is ending. But the story never ends.

Similar, but different enough to my mind. Devices lacks the FF bot, Poison Gas trap, and Acid Mortar that I consider the most useful bits of traps, so the experience will (probably) be different.

Fire/axe just doesn't really synergize well, Axe and Mace are really similar, and the new mutation pack has tempted me to indulge my inner dork and make a cute fox-girl with flame powers.

I've tried Regen on one of my old stalkers, nrg/regen, and didn't get into it. Also, none of my current stalker/scrapper concepts really work for Regen.

I won't be able to buy GR immediately after it comes out, so no Kinetic characters for a while. The new stalker doesn't really fit as a kinetic meleeist either way, though I might consider it for Colmillo depending on how it's tinted.

How similar to Dark are warshades? I thought their shtick was 'weird gravity powers' rather than 'netherworld/black magic'

I already have two brutes, one of which is /inv. I can't make her kin/inv without either shuffling one of the other two brutes to something else, or breaking my own rules.

His original concept was a reality warper, so electricity doesn't really work. From what I've heard, Elec control sounds pretty cool, with the gremlins and the sleep power, but it doesn't really fit. My sonic/Elec defender might work slightly better as an elec/sonic controller (Since I'm honestly kind of disappointed in electrical blast), but that would put me up to 3 controllers. and necessitate even MORE shuffling.
