Not so much Melee

Hello all Cox players, my first level 50 was, UnNown, a SS/WP brute...I have him IO'd out with a total of 12 sets in him. I'm looking for another villain to roll, but i cant find a power set i like...I want one that has the devastating damage as he does but I don't wanna make another melee toon. What other villain power set comes close to this.
Thanks for all your answers and suggetsions.

Thanks for the answer but im looking for a toon tht has little to no melee powers....i have a lvl 24 fort that i really like to play but theres something about him tht doesnt appeal to me the way my WP/SS brute did when i was playing him...i solo'd him all the way to 50, so my next toon i really focus on will be solo'd also but when i do team with him i want a way to have a great time teaming as well...not looking for a support based toon.

For something completely different, try a Thugs/Dark MM. Mine was thoroughly beastly from the get-go and just kept getting stronger. Demons/Dark would probably also be very good.

A dom (Fire/Fire for the most damage) would probably be up your alley too. They can be a bit slow to mature, but will get extremely powerful by the late game. Failing that, you might like a Fire/Dark or Fire/Rad corruptor. Or Fire/Kin, although you'll need to get to 38 to be pumping out the uber-damage with that one.

Hmm, might give my fort another shot, i have a level 13 thugs/traps....a VG mate told me and showed me his level 50 thugs/traps and he is a damage powerhouse, mine is going slow right now, but i have high hoped for him

If you have Going Rogue, or if you're willing to play a non-villain, try a blaster. You'll never get the level of durability that your brute has (though a properly built blaster can be quite sturdy), but you'll easily equal, if not exceed, the damage output.

A good place to start would be a Fire/Energy blaster. You get Build Up REALLY early, Flares/Fire Blast/Blaze will cripple any enemy that survives long enough to let you fire all three, Fire Ball and Fire Breath let you lay out a decent amount of AoE even at low levels, and if an enemy gets into melee range, you can either use Energy Punch and Bone Smasher to drop him with a one-two punch, or use Power Thrust to tell him to get out of your face. All before level 20, if you want. And when you get to higher levels, you have a wide variety of powers, so you can slot for just about any effects you want to.

Plant/Fire/Fire Dom.
The Fiery Assault secondary can build a pretty nice ranged attack chain, and all of Plant's powers are usable at range. The Fire Mastery ancillary pool adds good AoE damage. The last time I played mine, I had the following conversation in Vent:

SG Mate Brute: "That's just not right."
Me: "What?"
SG Mate Brute: "It's ridiculous watching you kill mobs."

Take that for what it's worth.

Fire/fire dominator. There's only one melee power, which you could skip if you like (but it's a very good one). It's a combination that really thrives on high levels of recharge, and the best single-target attack doesn't come until level 38, but it can pump out a lot of damage. Add the fire APP for more AoE goodness. My fire^3 dom is a steamroller, I absolutely love that character.

Oh yeah, it has nice control powers too, bonus.

*edit* Pretty much what Steel Shaman said about plant/fire. I've heard that earth/fire works well too, though I haven't tried it.

Fire/Cold Corr!

I appreciate all the answers yall have gave me......reading all those post got me thinking about some toons tht i could conjure up

If you want a primarily ranged character with the same "go-go-go!" mentality of a brute, I cannot recommend Warshade highly enough. Read the "MF'ing Warshade" guide in the player guides section. I'll tell you right now: it really is just as much fun as it sounds. Warshades draw their power from nearby enemies in the form of short-duration temporary buffs, so you're always flying around looking for more foes to feed your engine of destruction. The levels of mayhem you can produce with the Dark Nova form's built-in ranged AoE attack chain coupled with the silly damage buff provided by Sunless Mire and 85% resistance to all damage granted by Eclipse is mind-boggling. I promise you will not be disappointed.

Another vote for either a Warshade (from 18 to 41 there really isn't a bad power choice), or a Plant or Earth/Fire/Fire Dominator.

With $$$ and Merits, you can get Perma Dom by 35 or so without gimping your build in the slightest.

I really dig my Plant/Fire/Fire Dom. When Domination is up, forget it. As long as you stay aware of your situation, you can handle anything short of an AV with the Purple Triangles of Doom with little trouble.

Warshades are equally good minion munchers. They don't handle solo hard targets quite as well, but they are still very potent.

Honestly, my favorite aspect of my Warshade is the fact that I can play aggressively and level multiple x8 spawns at once without being in significant danger, OR I can just turtle-up in Dwarf form and veg-out for a bit. Dwarf kills a LOT more slowly, but it requires very little real thought, so it's kinda relaxing at times. You just run in, Eclipse, switch to dwarf, and pound on stuff. I guess you don't always even need Eclipse, but it seems silly to not use it. There is something to be said for a character that can allow that much freedom to adapt to the player's mood.

It would be like having a mediocre tanker, a mediocre blaster, AND an outrageously powerful soul-sucking alien WMD all rolled-up into one! Sure, a permadom is extremely potent, but it's always the same play style. A warshade can emulate a number of different archetypes if you don't mind wasting some of its potential. And hey, when you're soloing, who does it really hurt?

I don't suggest doing this on teams, however.
