Rerolling a Character

Ok, i have been playing the incarnate trials regularly since they came out. Have my main character at all tier 4's and my secondary character all in tier 3's but I need a break from the grind.

So I started looking at rolling up new characters to run through Preatoria once again since i enjoy the storylines. But i cant seem to find anything that I want to play at a low level. So I was actually contemplating rerolling an old favorite toon (SM/WP Brute) and playing her through.

My question, is it crazy to reroll a character I already took to 50 just to play content that I have already played in the past?

Yes completely and fully crazy, of course we are all insane here. :P
Meh it's your 15 a month (at least til it goes F2P then we can't say that anymore) play how you want to play, or you could just wait til I21 hits and roll a power proliferated toon.


Cancel the kitchen scraps for widows and lepers, no more merciful beheadings and call off christmas!

No. You can reroll anything you like for any reason you like. I once rerolled my Mind/Emp controller from 50 just to change her name.

Said Mind/Emp got rerolled again (from 50, yes) into Ill/Emp, because Mind on controllers is so horribly subpar. The character's so much more fun to play now that she's more powerful, so I consider it worth the time.

And now I'm considering rerolling my Fire/Kin (yes, from 50... how'd you guess?) to change her origin. She really ought to be Natural origin, and the OCD is eating my brain.

My roommate just re-rolled a DP/devices blaster because he wanted one that took advantage of inherent stamina, but didn't want to go through a respec. It was easier for him to start over at level 1.

Crazy is relative.

Grav Controllers can feel very powerful. As can Stone Melee. If you like Super Strength you'll like them.

Also: if you're bored of the grind check out some AE story missions. There's loads and most of them are of a higher quality of writing than the in-game missions. (Well...the old ones anyway!)

I only do "re-rolls" if I want to switch up the power-sets or AT of a particular character...

If I just want to go through the game with a certain combination again, I tend to make a completely new character to do it with. (Which is how I ended up with two of each of my Dual Bladers-) Somehow deleting the existing one would just seem like a waste of all that time I spent leveling them the first time around.

But... to each their own, right? A lot of people do go for the re-roll thing.

I've played three MA/WP scrappers and two Katana/Regen scrappers to 50, for various reasons. I also have one broadsword/shield scrapper at 50 and am contemplating eventually leveling up two others that I have in the 30-33 range. And I have another MA/WP scrapper on another server that I still might level up, she's at 24 now.

And the funny thing is, I'm not even that big a fan of MA anymore.

Thanks for the feedback all. I decided to reroll but combine 2 of my brutes and go with DM/Invul. I know that combo is capable of amazing things and my main is so focused on AoE damage it might be fun to roll up a single target monster for awhile.

I also made a SM/Invul and may level both at the same time. Always love SM on a brute even though the end requirements are crazy!

Wait, I know, that's a typo. It's supposed to be "super."

No. To this day, I have rerolled:

*One level 50 MA/Inv/Weapons Scrapper into a currently level 50 SS/Inv/Energy Brute

*One level 50 AR/Dev/Munitions Blaster into a currently level 28-ish Bots/Traps Mastermind.

*One level 50 Fire/Fire/Flame Blaster into a currently level 36 Fire/Fire Scrapper.

*One level 50 Energy/Energy/Foce Blaster into a currently level 38 Energy/Will Brute.

I don't for a second believe it's "stupid" to reroll a level 50 character. If you got said character to 50, there's a high chance you enjoy the look, name, concept or all of the above. Rerolling that into something you enjoy playing is - in my eyes at least - superior to keeping a level 50 you don't really use just so you have more notches on your belt or whatever. At one point, I had something like 12 level 50 characters. I have rather fewer now, but I'm having more fun just the same.

Nope. Sub-par, if the hyphen makes it clearer.
