Darkness Superteam on Justice

What: Darkness-Themed Superteam
Where: Justice
When: Fridays and Sundays at 8pm ET (first meeting on 9/9/2011)
Who: Brought to you by the folks behind the Justice TA, Traps, Radiation, Blades, Earth, and Gun Superteams
Why: Fortune and glory... and fun.


This group will be a Praetorian team based on the various darkness powersets available. Allowed Powersets/Archetypes:

• Dark Blast Defenders/Corruptors
• Dark Miasma Defenders/Corruptors
• Dark Armor Tanks/Scrappers/Brutes/Stalkers
• Dark Melee Tanks/Scrappers/Brutes/Stalkers

• Team-focused powers are great; Leadership, Teleports, and Medicine are always useful.
• You must take at least two-thirds of the powers in the darkness powerset you choose.
• You're welcome to make use of your other build if you'd like to maintain a solo or PVP build.

• Our first meeting will take place Friday, September 9th, 2011 at 8pm ET on the giant star between Praetors Duncan and White in Nova Praetoria.
• Since we can't join or start Super Groups while in Praetoria, we'll be coordinating the group through use of a global channel named "Justice Superteamers". Everyone participating on this team must join the channel.
• Once we've graduated from Praetoria, we'll choose (as a team) which side to cross over to, and will promptly work Tips to align ourselves so that we have access to both Blue and Red zones.
• Pacts are not required, but are encouraged.
• We'll be focusing on PVE content (TFs, Contact Arcs, AE, Tips, the occasional newspaper/scanner, etc).
• There is no limit on the number of people that can join us. This isn't going to be a fixed group of 8; the more, the merrier.
• Super-Sidekick has made teaming incredibly easy. If you already have a character that fits the theme of this team, or won't be able to join us at the start of this team, don't worry; we'll accept you at any level, any time.
• It doesn't matter which Praetorian alignment you choose (Loyalist vs Resistence). We'll be able to team regardless of your alignment, and it's nice to have access to both storylines.
• Yes, Masterminds were left off the list of allowed powersets/archetypes. As were Warshades (the Negative Energy-based attacks could be argued as "dark"). This was an intentional decision to try to narrow down an already wide-open theme of "darkness".

Ethereal Frost, a dark blast/cold domination corruptor has been rolled up and waiting for September.

NightCrystal (Spines/DA) is waiting in Praetoria.

Persona Envy (dark miasma/radiation blast) defender will be waiting in Praetoria on Sept 9th. Side note: Level Pact taken.

I'm going to go for a dark miasma/sonic defender this time around.

I think i'll join up on this with a Dark melee brute. I was part of the gun themed ST but work kinda got in the way and wasn't able to make it on Fri. or Sun. Now i can atleast make it on Fridays most of the time unfourtantly Sun. will still be out cause of work unless i get lucky with a day shift. Oh persona wanna level pact with me i'll try not to (dead weight you) LOL it's an ongoing joke on another team we run with.

Had a Spines/DA waiting but since someone else already posted (and I was too slow to get off my butt and post mine lol), I was happy to set up a Fire/Dark Corruptor it's place...may keep the scrapper and bring it along as a spare.

@Shadow, welcome back. Sure i have no problem level pacting with you. There is no such things as dead weight. I do have my toon made, so let me know when you are on and ready to form the pact.

@Darkscar, Feel free to bring the spines/da as well. With the guns team we had multiple sonics which did not hurt the team. So multiple toxic damage wont hut either.

Hey all, I'll join again. Think I'll run a elec/dark corruptor, tentative name is Penumbral Current.

I am open to level pacts, with whoever.

I think I'll try rolling up a SS/DA brute for this one.

EDIT: Temerous Nox created and waiting in Praetoria.

Penumbral Current is up to lvl 4 and holding...

I was torn between some melee AT with Dark Armor and a buff or debuff set. Always wanted to try out /DA, but not in any major rush.

Saw this thread was heavy on melee and /Dark Miasma, and decided to fill a gap of mine. I don't have any major debuffers on Justice, so I rolled up a Defender - Radiation / Dark Blast.

Currently sitting at level 2 in Nova; I may or may not get to 4 before we start. Lower levels blur by fast in our superteams, so I doubt it'll make a difference.

Curious: why not wait until blasters get dark sets and (dominators?) in a couple of months?

You could run another group before that and start this one after Issue 21 hits - but I realize you probably won't.

Actually, there's so much going on in I21 that almost any concept we came up with would be improved by waiting. So we just picked one anyway.
