Creation Deletion...and WTH
Hit 32. Magical 32 where it just ends for me.
It's like 32 is the bar. And all my toons are drunks and hang out at that bar. I have 1 50 (Don't enjoy her even enough to try the incarnate stuff which I really want to do...badly!)
One 25 Corr who hit the bar early
One 36 Widow who is just to young to do some TF's and just sits at said bar
One 32 Grav/FF Troller, who won't budge
And a host of lowbies.
Can't seem to connect with something. It's like all the coolness was getting to 32 and then it's like...mission complete.
I even thought of rolling a blaster? Why because they seem insane and well suicidal to play, but people around me really seem to enjoy them.
Tried a Tank, a Brute, Scrapper and a Stalker. Definately not so much my playstyle. No range at all until possibly power pools, but since 32 is my cut off, well...not likely to see em.
I was convinced that my scrapper would be my main, then I got tired of having powers with no special effects beyond their damage.
I thought that I'd fall in love with masterminds, then got tired of scampering about doing very little of note and waiting for my pets to win the fights.
I figured if I stuck with a defender, I'd always be popular and useful to groups and could level just by slutting myself around to anyone who'd group with me.
With the blaster/blaster/squisyDPStanker group that I most frequently team with, my defender's heals aren't remotely good enough to keep them alive - I apparently need knockup/knockback/holds more than I need an AoE heal and debuffs.
I've also dabbled in WS (too squishy), PB (too boring), Widow (great solo, nobody to play with redside)...
Long story short, I kinda know how you feel and am worried I'll get dissatisfied with Controller sooner or later.
Ok...so you are experiencing a similar issue. It's the exact same issue really.
My Widow is my fave and well...no one to play with. Even though she can go to both sides.
Gotta go back to the drawing board and come up with something interesting.
I might try a DB/Dark Armor scrapper.
It does help.
Actally I think that I have pin pointed my issue.
I tend to lead towards support toons a lot. I think thats because of my other MMO experiences. But I noticed that I play my controllers like scrapper melee types only without the fear of being hit. But I love the melee.
But I seem to only like melee when it has a ranged component. Which is why I like my Widow.
Now I rolled a blaster. Just to see what that was about. My last blaster a million years ago was an Archery/Psi, which I just could not seem to play worth a darn. So I rolled up a Rad/Nrg and so far it seems pretty solid. I have only taken the melee power you need to take from the start, but it's good enough to mitigate me being cornered with it's impressive knockback, and Energy seems to have many boosting powers, which I find helps with the rad. She is sort of fun to play and I think has the components of melee and range I like.
My first thought was a Dom. I mean it sounds like a support toon, with melee and range. like a Blaster/Controller, but for some reason I just cant seem to be able to pull them off bery well.
I actually think my issue is a L2Play issue really. L2play the other AT's other than controllers.
I looked through your guide and I am not deleting anymore. Instead I am sort of staring at the character select screen forever, checking out my cool costumes, and then logging out and watching TV.
Oh I do jump on my 50 Empath once a week to finance my alts. So I guess I did stick with something after all.

Roll up a Peacebringer, stay Human form only (ignore the gasps of dismay from the many purists), take all the shields and slot them. Its now blapblastroller funtime and you look cool/shiny/OOO! doing your thing.
Masterminds annoy everybody, sooner or later. Heck, Masterminds annoy themselves.
