Laughs the flip side to this is when Jen isn't playing an empath she has a either a scrapper or a blaster (who plays like a scrapper) out..

I thought I was the only one! I don't know, for me, for whatever reason, pairing elemental/thematic power sets seems a bit boring. I prefer coming up with concepts that are more broad. The only exception to this rule is my Broadsword/Shield Scrapper (yay for Praetoria! My characters never have to touch Paragon City now) and even then, she'll be going either Dark or Soul Mastery when she gets there simply because her concept is a Shadow Knight (think Everquest). |

As far as Origins, Magic is by far my most preferred. In over 50 characters created, at least 40 have been magic. And I love Dominators, I had a Mind/Energy, have a Fire/Elec, an Ice/Psi, a Grav/Ice, and an assortment of lowbies that never got past level 10 before the Dom changes.
Every Melee character that I have played always seems (to me) that pairing it with Willpower would make it better to play. I LOVE the way Willpower is so "hands off" and you can focus on just beating stuff up. My two highest melee toons are both Willpower, and I could easily see myself making a WP/** or **/WP of every melee set at some point.
As a side note, when I first started playing this game back in 2004, I could have adopted this same feeling about regen, but quickly lost "faith" in regen due to all the changes forced onto it. Willpower IS what Regeneration SHOULD have been (and vice versa).
