Who do u want?

Hello CoH and CoV, i want to know what toon u want to play with....it might be your favorite build or it might be the knock back guy that nobody likes. i want the people of this forum to name the power set that you would want on ur team.....your answers are much appreciated

Kinetics defender.

Traps/sonic defender.
Dark/sonic defender.
Rad/sonic defender.
Traps/sonic defender.
Cold/sonic defender.
Traps/sonic defender.


In that order of preference. I think.

First and foremost a competent player behind the keyboard... this really can't be stressed enough.

Assuming competence on all teammates (not really a very good bet in general but we can hope) buff/debuff powersets stack up to become stupidly good the more you have so I'll go with that. Dark Defenders, Rad, Sonic, FF, Traps, Cold, Kin, TA and if they can manage it well, Storm.

I purposely don't list Emp here, not because it can't be a good set, just because the VAST majority of Emps I've ever seen are of the "pure healer" mentality. Anytime I see an Emp on the team it's a bit of a red flag, I assume that they're useless until proven differently. The few times I find one who uses the buffs AND blasts well are a pleasant surprise.

Give me a team full of good debuffers with a few buffs and that's a team that will destroy nearly anything in the game with ease. There's a reason that teams of Fire/Rad controllers are so crushingly dominant.

All my friends that left the game... I want them back. I miss Lisa and Jay the most. Frosty the clown, Sezi, I'd even go so far as to say I want 50/50 back. I want all the people I was running with on Virtue back<before I went to jail>. I want Q patrol back. Every last one of them. Candy, Will and Buck make that list too <But Candy has to prove to me that she can control herself she is VERY dangerous!>

I don't want the bears.

Not them. Not ever again.

When I was new to MMOs and City of Heroes, I thought the holy trinity was Storm/*, Dark/*, and Forcefield/* defenders for that "Can't Touch This" motif. Of course in the modern CoH landscape, Colds and Trappers are extremely useful, too.

Not many people have said Forcefields, but even recently, my Forcefield/sonic blast defender joined a PI team doing a Malta arc. The team was grateful for the bubbles and remarked how much easier the missions were progressing.

Seriously, a Cold/* defender can do a big chunk of debuffing like his stormy cousin with snowstorm and sleet, do a lot of endurance management like his kinetic cousins with heat loss, and buff defense to a rarified level with the ice shields.

VEATs (with the Teamtoggles),
Corruptors (any except for Energy/Storm... because they are difficult to play team-friendly...)
Dominators (because they are cool if used right... don't immob spread out mobs!)
Earth/* & Ice/* Controllers (because I see so few of them)

I'd like a nice mix in a team...

What I don't like to team with are people who are doing bad ON PURPOSE... ("Please focus on the Cysts last" - "Sure" ...destroyes all cysts first).

On top of that I like if the team uses a little strategy or at least some basic knowledge how to play, i.e. buches up mobs (not always necessary, sure), THEN immobs or holds, then beats them up together... not aggro multiple spawns, immob some spread out mobs that were just running towards the brute/tank, blasts mobs out of AOEs/debuffs/away from (stone-)Tank, and so on...

Cheers!

I like chatty teammates. Often times, those are the people I normally become global friends with after a few missions. IF I am not having fun, why play?

Oh, if I could get a chatty teammate who happens to be a Cold Domination expert with veng for when a teammate falls, I would be very happy.

I think every team I've been on could have been improved by the addition of a Traps Defender.

Even the ones I do with my own Traps Defender.

As someone who plays blasters much of the time, I love teaming with a good tank. The "you hold 'em, I'll shoot 'em" strategy works beautifully.

I also like seeing someone who is really good with an under-played power set, or a power set that I just plain do not see that often (off the top of my head: Sonic Attack, Mind Control, Trick Arrow, among others).

VEATs with stacked leadership.

I've been at the CoH game for many years now and have concluded that nothing beats a team of these.

Last time I replied in a post like this, I got a lot of grief. Oh well. My answer is the same and its in the sig.

Kins and Colds.

I want healz, do you have healz?

Any well played Controller.

I don't have the patience to level them myself, but I know how powerful they can become.

EATs. VEATs or HEATs I don't mind, I love having either on my team.

My US Main is my Fort and she just loves having other EATs along with her.

Having a good VEAT (ie one that actually took their leadership powers) is really epic. But even though i am a brute a lot i REALLY love having grav/ domis on my team. I just love when they use Gravity Distortion Field and then you just beat the **** out of a bunch of floating dudes that are literally helpless. Other than just fun a good rad or kin (really any buffer/debuffer) is really epic and can do wonders for a team.

A competent player. Anything else is negotiable on most teams.

I don't want to see "TPing to boss" on a team advertised as kill all, "I am a healer" who never uses their attacks or buffs JUST sits rocking the aura, "yeah I was afk but I'm back now" or "I have to leave now to go shopping but good luck with the Master run". You get the gist, I'm sure.

For a Masters run I want players who can follow instructions and a well balanced team: shields, debuff, tankage, damage. Yes someone will have heals but if that's ALL they do ... I don't want them. I don't care if the player is new or hasn't done the TF before.

With the new TFs, I want EVERYONE slotted with an Incarnate slot. Not 7/8 but 8/8 for a Tin Mage or Apex. Otherwise my view is that you're dead weight on that TF.

I like good players that like a good challenge and don't get all flustered if something goes wrong.

However, one thing I love seeing is the rare Mastermind that is built to run in first and absorb the alpha strike, and doesn't have a tantrum when their minions die.

Any kind of Sonic Resonance guy on my tank. Having capped resistances and squishier enemies is all kinds of fun.
