I have two servers I play on, and 3 50s I care about on each of them:

Server 1

Ranged Fortunata/Soul Mastery
Traps/Ice/Force Defender
Elec/Nrg/Force Blaster

Server 2

Huntsman/Mace Mastery
Fire/EA/Soul Brute
Elec/Earth/Mace Dominator.

I am going to concentrate on 1 per server. Which do you think will be the best choices to work on in terms of benefit, ease of getting on teams etc.

They are all Fully maxed out builds: Softcapped, Permahasted, as much regen/recovery as I could muster.

I just need a push toward one of them each per server.

When something good happens to me, I can never enjoy it....
I am always too busy looking for the inevitable punchline...

BEHOLD THE POWER OF CHEESE!

Which one has the best costume and biography?

i'd go with the one i like playing the most.
i suppose having a good costume and biography would help as well. Those who don't care about such things won't notice and those who do will.

i make stuff...

Which do you like better?

If I were concentrating on one on each, I'd probably grab the blaster or defender on the first and the huntsman on the other, if they haven't switched sides. Just for variety.

Wanted: Origin centric story arcs.
If you've only played an AT once (one set combo) and "hate" it - don't give up. Roll a different combo. It may just be those sets not clicking for you.

I'd go with:
-The character who is the most fun in teams.
-The character on the server you have the most friends on.
-The Fortunata, because it will probably have the easiest time on the trials.

Too many alts to list.

The Stalker, definitely.

Who wouldn't want a ranged Fortunata on their team, with all the team buffs they bring with them, Mind Link + assorted low-endurance-cost better-than-Leadership-Pool powers? Your ranged Fortunata should have no problem getting teams and making them better than they were before. Do you enjoy playing him/her?

Server two is a harder choice for me. Can your brute tank? Doms are always great fun too.

If you like all six equally, don't think you have to limit yourself to just two of them.

I'd randomly play what I fancied until I came across players who I liked teaming with and also were comfortable in concentrating on their characters with each other, then I'd hang out with them with whatever toon filled some niche their team was lacking.

He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.

I'd focus on the VEATs

Aside from the obvious "whichever you find the most fun/play the most" answer, if those were mine, I'd go with the traps defender or fortunata, and the huntsman. But I love my huntsman.

Also, a long time (a year, at least) ago you were standing in Cap and broadcasted that you'd give whoever came to you first in a rat costume a level 20 numina's unique. I won. Thanks for that.
