You are level 24. Ding at least 26/27 and then see if it's better. If yes, ding 32/33 and then try to say Kat has kinda meh ST damage. Any set that is lacking it's two biggest hitters will feel meh.

Golden Dragonfly has a small cone. Think of it more as a ST with potential for more awesome. It also has a 15% chance to get a critical hit compared to the other attacks that have 5%-10%.

Part of the problem is that you're not taking your characters past level 38, when they have access to all their powers, or past 41 where they get their APPs which round them out. I know saying "wait till level 50!" seems disingenuous, but really, right now many of your characters are missing Stamina (I19 will take care of that, though), and if you're balancing attacks, defenses, and pools, you're left with what, 2, 3, maybe 4 attacks that don't chain all that great?
If you're getting bored, its because you're playing the same content over and over (Atlas, KR, safegaurd... roll new character, Atlas, KR, safegaurd... roll new character, atlas, kr, safg-yaaaaaaaawn). Pick one toon, stick with 'em, and do story arcs. Get INVOLVED and IMMERSED, don't just click through text without reading it. Maybe work on your character's backstory or RP with him/her a bit. Don't just look at them as a build, but as an actual character getting involved with the narrative of the world. You just might start having fun. Because let's face it, most missions ARE just "go here and beat up these guys". But if you can really dive into it, that just may keep the altitis at bay.
-STEELE =)
Allied to all sides so that no matter what, I'll come out on top!
Oh, and Crimson demands you play this arc-> Twisted Knives (MA Arc #397769)

Fire/Shields - Shields brings added damage through AAO and Shield Charge. Defense isn't quite as good as other sets, namely SR, with just SO/basic IO's
Fire/SR - SR is easy to softcap and offers a bit of recharge in Quick Reflexes. SR's performance with just SO's is wonderful though you'll feel the lack of aoe defense until you get your auto and toggle.
Fire/WP - WP is probably the easiest secondary set to work with. You get loads of regen, a better stamina replacement in Quick Recovery. Taking the alpha from a large group will hurt but a purple insp or 2 will give you enough defense to take the sting out and let your regen do its thing
Blaze or Mu for your APP gives you another aoe attack to have fun with.
I keep making new guys getting them to lvl 12ish and then give up on them becuase they are not what I am wanting. I must have close to 15 alts all in the mid to low teens.
What im looking for:
-Prefer melee
-Want to be able to take a good amount of guys on at once, but doesnt need to be able to tank. (I have a dark armor scrapper, and he taken last in big groups (solo).)
-Want to be able to kill a large group in a somewhat fast amount of time. Doesnt have to be all aoe, id be happy with average AOE and average Single Target damage.
-Flashy/looks are not that important.
What ive tried (melee):
scrappers:
-Spine/regen lvl 38
-Spine/Dark lvl 9
-Dark/Dark lvl 37
-Kat/SR lvl 24
-Claws/Regen lvl 13
Brute:
-DB/SR lvl 15
Tank:
-Fire/DM lvl 21
-Shiled/Axe lvl 12
-Ice/Ice lvl 13
So far the Kat/SR scrapper and Fire/DM Tank are the closest to what im looking for. The Tank seems too squishy for a tank and the scrapper kat/SR the Single target is kinda meh.
Can anyone recommend something, or do any of the ones ive started fit what im looking for later on?
