First off, hello everyone. Name's Scotty Pogo. Kind of a re-recurring player to CoH/CoV. I'm like a Veteran Noob, if such an oxymoron exists.

Second, I'm looking for a little input. I wanted to create a character that is inspired by the Sinestro Corps. The last character I ever played was an Illusion/Storms Controller, and I could certainly recreate that for the idea, but I was wondering if there's any other possible builds out there that might work for such a theme.

Also, what archetypes are most needed on Virtue?

Thanks,
SP

Well there are a lot of every type so I don't know there is a most needed. But support types are always in demand. As for the Sinestro corps... Illusion or Gravity would seem good choices. And as a secondary... hmmm... sonic? Or FF!


Heroes : Angrem (50 Stone tank), Exo Inferis (50 Fire blaster), Exo Proteus (50 ill/emp), IceVengance (50 cold defender)
Villains : AtomBomb (50 Rad/Kin corruptor), Aleks (50 SS/Inv brute), StoneLethal (50 EM/Stone brute), Davroz (50 Bots/Dark mastermind)

Welcome back!

My knowledge of the Sinestro Corps is limited to something about yellow, but I forget what. That being said, if you're back from a very long break, power customization allows you to modify colors and sometimes, textures, so you can use it to re-theme a number of powers to suit your taste now.

As for the other, the only thing in lower demand is Scrappers, and everyone always wants more team support. Which includes: Masterminds, Controllers, Defenders, Corruptors, VEATs, and to a certain extent, also Dominators. So I wouldn't worry about it too much. So play what you enjoy, although if you plan on teaming alot, I would suggest any of the above except Mastermind unless you particularly enjoy it, since I find them a bit dull.

Maybe define more closely where you're headed with the powers. Hard light constructs? Illusion is probably closest to that, yes. You could dumb it down to blasts and bubbles (FF or Sonic Corr or Def with Energy or Rad Blast) or find a middle ground at encasing people with your powers (Grav/Energy Dom, Grav/FF or Sonic Troller; hell, Ice or Earth might even be coloured to look like hard light). You really have a wide variety of options right down to an Energy Blaster or EM Brute. It's all in the interpretation.
