The problem of not wanting to play other archetypes

I love controllers! So that's really all I can ever manage to level past 35. But even more restricting than that is I only like two secondaries... So I sometimes feel like I've been playing the same two toons to 50 over and over (my 50s are in my sig).
Luckily I love controllers so much, I don't mind. 
The Silvers - Level 50s
Main: Wyvern - Fire/Kin/Earth
Chimera- Ill/Rad * Sphinx- Fire/Kin * Medusa- Earth/Rad * Shiva- Ice/Kin
Celaeno- Mnd/Rad * Dryad- Earth/Kin * Kirin- Fire/Rad * Tiamat- Mnd/Kin
Pixie- Grv/Kin * Nymph- Ice/Rad * Circe- Plant/Kin
I've played everything except for Kheldians (absolutely no interest whatsoever). I only have 1 Defender left. I just don't enjoy my lack of ability to solo with them. Corruptors are also a little dry for me.
Otherwise, I'm all over the map. Currently I'm enjoying bashing heads, so I'm playing more Banes, Brutes, and Scrappers. A few months ago, I was all about my Controllers. That's the fun thing about this game-VARIETY!
Please try my arcs:
Arc# 63910 "Why Do Bad Girls Like Bad Boys?" (length=Long, levels 40+)
Arc# 401500 "How to Be a Successful Professional Criminal" (length=Very Long, levels 1-10)
Depends on my mood. At times I want to be smashed in the face, but sometimes...sometimes I like to be the one that is doing the smashing.
I like healers.... always have.
I've got a lot of empathy defenders. Some thermal radiation characters. At least two pain domination corruptors.....
There's really only two things I've enjoyed as much as healers. My elec/ice tanker and kinetic/energy stalker.
I've also tried nearly every powerset in the game by now.... and watched the most of them in action. Lots of watching when you're a healer... if you're not watching, you can't heal in time or be in the right spot to live or save a life.

One side uses mind police and will "disappear" you and the other uses poison gas and bombs on civilians. Hamidon? He'll just have a tree eat you. Much simpler. If we're all going to be oppressed and/or killed by someone, it might as well be the walking trees. At least they don't speak in annoying code or doublespeak. They just devour you. |
I managed to get a controller all the way to level 6 once. My dominator, Deep Tought (mind/mind, only a villain because he was a bit of a Lenny Small) made it all the way to level 10 before I deleted him. I even got a Mastermind to level 16 with a bit of work.
I managed to get my brute, Obscure Fracas, to level 25, but he's stagnating there. I just have no desire to play him. Before Obscure Fracas was a Brute, he was a scrapper that made it all the way to level 20. Still my record for a scrapper.
I've got a warshade at 33. I have no taste for the MFing Warshade (Sorry Dechs, I read your guide, but it just doesn't sound like fun to me), so it's waiting for the developers to make some changes.
I have one Blaster, he made it to 50. Two defenders, one at 50 and one at 40 (the one at 40 does nothing but task forces). My Widow is 50 and is the character I run tip missions on.
But the characters I play the most?
5 Tanks, only 2 at 50, one at 43 (no toggles), and two in the twenties (I play each of them one mission a day).
3 Stalkers, all at 50. If my Dual Blades/Ninjitsu was a hero instead of a vigilante, that's the one I'd do tip missions on.
People like playing different characters and powersets and just because one AT/Powerset can do one thing easily while another can't won't stop them being played because one person's definition of fun is different to everyone elses!
