Cant wait for GR for KM and it may help with my dom concept.
Doms are incredibly versatile...they're very much a 'team support'-ish AT at some times, but completely Team independant at others. The upside is you can have a great ability to help team survival without having powers you can't use when solo. On a team that needs help? Hold/stun/confuse/sleep chumps giving you a hard time. On your own against things that want to pound your face in? Hold/stun/confuse/sleep chumps giving you a hard time. As it is, doms do great damage all the time, so domination is just fine resting until you need mez to stick longer, make a biggie sit out, or top off your blue.

If you like melee, fire is a bit lower on that rung. /Earth LIVES in melee, thorns is close, the /energy, /ice, and /electric have some to use.

I'm very much looking forward to what new APPs the doms get.

Please post the most enjoyable toon that you've ever played. I know it's hard to narrow it down to one, but please do. I don't want your top 2, I don't want your top one from each archetype, I don't want your favorite villain and your favorite hero, just post one and I will make whichever one that sounds good to me.

Also, there is no "it depends on what your style of play is, each archetype and powersets function differently." I can play anything and fill in any role on a team. I may PvE or PvP or solo or team as well, it really doesn't matter. Just post your favorite :]

Thanks!
Given a 1 toon limit, I can't help...

I have several that I like real well from a couple stalkers to H/VEATs along
with a Tank and a Brute or two, and that's not even including a few that
are "specifically purposed" or my original Main which I still dabble with now
and then.

The point I'm leading to though is that there isn't just one - playstyles,
moods and purpose are all key factors which define which toon is "Most Fun"
at any particular point in time.

If it were only possible to make just one toon, I'd complain loud and hearty,
given the experiences I've had in-game with many alts. In large part, it is
the fact of multiple ATs/alts that keeps me here.

My Claws/SR ninja is just fun, in combat or out of. I never get tired of jumping, flipping from building to building. Just a tiny whirlwind of death.

My Mind/Psi Dominator is just a control beast. I sometimes go from mob to just mezzing them, then Stealth-fully sneaking away onto the mission objective. One my best moments was holding/confusing/stunning/putting to sleep/invoking fear into mobs and endless mobs of 5th Column in a Barracuda SF, granted aided by speed boosts to keep my mezes up faster even though I'm perma-dom. But I never felt so god-like.

My Grav/Elec dom is the most fun of all the toons Ive played

It really depends on my mood. But overall, my tri-form Warshade.

Spine/Dark/Dark Scrapper, easily. He was great fun on teams before IO's and now that he's tricked out about far as can be, even more so. Damage and stun auras, pbaoe attack, 3 cone attacks (4 if you count Ripper, but that's a very narrow cone), knockdowns and a knockback, recovery and recharge out the wazoo, he's a soloing machine and becomes god-like when teamed with defenders.

I was concerned that I'd get bored when he got too good but now I fear my other toons are just so far below the scrapper that it's barely worth it to log them on.

I've had a lot of fun with a lot of my toons, but my favorite is my Elec Melee SR Brute. Lightening Rod with crazy defense numbers? Yes please!

Okay, it was rather frustrating towards the beginning, but it's a friggen beast now. I've almost got it where I can solo missions on max difficulty level and max team number set. =)

Warshade was my hands-down most fun levelling a toon, and then even enjoying the time spent to slowly IO him out.


 

Posted

Inv/Ice Tank - Was hard to level up, but at 50 set up with IOs he's crazy fun.

Fire/Shield Scrapper - Crazy fun to level up AND crazy fun at 50. I love taking him on TFs and large teams. Some people think Shield Defense is weak prior to IOs but I found the set still really enjoyable before IO'd him out.

AR/Mental Blaster - A lot of people don't like AR, but I love the way it plays with Mental. It was one of my most fun characters up to 50, up with my Fire/Shield, and is still a complete blast to play. Full Auto is sooooo satisfying.

SS/WP Brute - Because there's nothing quite as addicting as footstomp.

My MOST enjoyable character?

The one I was playing on with my friends last night.

You'll get the same answer if you ask this question every day, and not matter what character I am on, the answer will be the same.

Doesn't matter if I'm on my Fire/Fire Scrapper and dancing on the Tanks head, or on my Warshade while a friend is on his Peacebringer, or I'm working a wedding with my Ice/Rad Controller (she makes such lifelike sculptures, it's truly amazing.)

My blueside fave is my Kat/Will Scrapper.
My redside fave is my Stone/Dark Brute although it didn't really get fun till I sank a few billion into it.


 

Posted

Currently it's my Shield Defense/Super Strenght Tanker.

Against All Odds + Rage = Big Attack Power. Follow it with Shield Charge into the biggest mob in sight followed by Footstomp then less minions will be in the world.

I love it...

Tie between the Earth/fire dom and the elctric/electric brute redside.
Hero side, hmmmmm well the most enjoyable toon played was the MA/scrapper and the DB/WP tank.

All of them was fun solo and good on teams.

My Fire/Fire Dom. This is a build I'd recommend to anyone who isn't afraid of IOs and likes high risk, high reward characters.

Hard to level at first - I almost dropped the character, but kept at it because I knew how good she would get with IOs at 30. Gets okay past 22. Gets pretty damned good at 32. And it doesn't stop getting better all the way to 50.

Now, with a completed build and hours of experience spent piloting her, this character rides like a ferrari. She's blindingly fast, ridiculously powerful, and totally unforgiving. She's impressive to watch and play, and she makes a very clear difference on a team. I get more amazed reactions playing this character with strangers and friends than any other in my stable, because she can lock down almost everything and frequently deals the most damage on the team.

But she's fragile. One mistake, one bit of bad luck, one accidentally-aggro'd spawn, and she's a smear on the pavement (unless I see it happening and can move just right in the few seconds I have to react). As a consequence, this character makes me feel like my personal skill level makes a huge difference in the outcome of a fight. Sure, I have fully-equipped Brutes, Scrappers, and a Mastermind that can dish out almost as much damage and can take it, too, but I could play those characters in my sleep. On my SS/WP Brute, I could literally jump into a mob, put Footstomp on auto, go get a drink, and still expect to be alive when I got back.

I don't have that luxury on my Fire/Fire Dom. It's fast, furious, and unforgiving - totally scratches my Nitro Junkie itch. And it's a build capable of confronting and overcoming top-tier challenges, like soloing AVs and such. I love it.

Fire/ice blaster. Followed closely by claws/regen stalker.

I depends on my particular mood at any given time, but I think I'd have to pick the Stalwart Star, my Captain America homage. He's almost spot on conceptually, and he's very capable in a fight. A MA/Shield Scrapper, he's tough, hard hitting and a lot of fun.

After that, I'd say my Inv/SS Tanker, the Canadian Shield. Sometimes there's nothing like standing in the middle of withering fire unscathed.

I'm currently having a blast playing with my elec/elec stalker, Johnny Shocker. Hitting lightning rod while hidden and seeing all those "Critical" signs is awesome, but when my toon is still hidden, I then hit thunderstrike and see many more "Critical" signs. After that, I usually hit Placiate on a boss and then Assassin' Strike, and see that above them. Electric Stalkers; fun to play and they make reading fun.

My Scrappers (Dark/Regen Main, Dark/SR, Dark/Shield and ElM/Shield) are bundles of awesome in general. The Fire/Kin Controller and Elm/Shd are my teaming toons for the most part, and are always welcome (not because of the IOs, but because I know what the hell I am doing).

It is hard to pick from that handful, but I am willing to say that I will pick them over the rest of the toons I have rolled. With any luck, I can get my Katana/Dark Scrapper among the group. Apparently I love Dark. I am just waiting on being able to make a Dark Control/Dark Assault Dominator before I fall in love with a Dark-style Squishy.


11 months of all-nighters, messy feeding sessions, bath fighting and realizing just how good my son's lungs work, and I am still convinced he is the crowning accomplishment in my life. What in the blue HFIL is wrong with me?

Still trying to figure it out!

When I figure out how to IO out a Dual Pistol using toon, to feel like it plays like a Scrapper (and fit my concept), I'll be set!

RAD/DP actually comes quite close, now only if Defenders got Indomital Will in epics like Controllers do, I'd be set!

Well done.
I have a 50 in every AT, but Scrappers and Dominators are my favorites.

Scrappers!!!!


hmmm... which ever one I'm currently playing


 

Posted

Right now my fav is a traps/sonic defender. I'm currently working on an earth/cold troller that's a close second.

My main is an archery/fire that will always be at the top since I rolled it back in I5 when both sets were gimp.

It is too hard for me to choose a favorite character. Love playing them all a lot and each of them are excellent for just about any situation.

Melee- Stone/Invul Brute
Range- Fortunata

Never broing with either of these 2 playing
