I21 Headstart, what are you making?
To answer the OP, a lot of new powers and combos available as a result of proliferation are quite enticing. But I don't really feel the need to force something without inspiration on day one in most cases.
That said, I'm really tempted to make a Time/something just because I love to try new toys for defenders, but have had zero inspiration for good complementary set.
And by the exact same token, and /Fire..... I can't recall if Thermal is getting proliferated to Defs or not, but I have that in my head for some reason. If it's not a fever dream, then a Therm/Fire seems almost a must.
[Union Chat]Sebaddon: If you want to, we will, if you think it's weird, no, that's damz, not us.
[Union Chat]Damz: hey cyber, i am your naked pope for the evening, please confess to me my child
I skip beam rifle completly, but i go for time manipulation corrupter, defender and MM.
Then maybe EA scrapper or brute, dark blaster seems nice too.
But most of all, i just continue what i was doing pre-I21.
50)Sinergy X/(50)Mika.
(50)MaceX/(50)Encore
Sign the petition, dont let CoH go down! SIGN!
in order ill probally roll.
ice/time corr (pve)
time/sonic or /fire def (pvp)
ss/regen brute (pvp
dark/mental manip blaster (pve)
sonic/poison corr (pvp)
but im sure a.d.d will kik in and ill be working on something with beam rifle
50 fire/dev--50 dark/thug--50 earth/storm--50 fire/regen--50 earth/thorn--50 kin/rad

Either a Robots/Time or Mercs/Time MM for me I think.
I have plans & character concepts for:
Bots/Time; a robotic ruler cast back from an alternate future where he ruled Earth and was overthrown, and who intends to conquer this time.
Fire Blast/Time; a villainess with powers over entropy; her fire powers are her enhancing up the natural decay and dissolution of matter until it ignites.
Illusion/Time; Phantom Army is composed of beings drawn from alternate timelines, invisibility is due to shifting slightly out of temporal phase.
A villainous Beam/Traps.
A Kinetic/Energy scrapper with "ki powers".
Some kind of Psi/Dark corruptor.
An Electric/Ice Armor Stalker, some winter themed name - I have an idea if it isn't taken.
I've a character concept for a Necro/Sonic Mastermind.
And by the exact same token, and /Fire..... I can't recall if Thermal is getting proliferated to Defs or not, but I have that in my head for some reason. If it's not a fever dream, then a Therm/Fire seems almost a must.

Arc #40529 : The Furies of the Earth
Either a Dark/EA or Fire/EA scrap, not sure.
I like the look of the Dark/EA, but I think I'll like the AoE of the Fire/EA.
Well it'll give me something to think about at work today.
Active 50s:
Zero Defex: DP/MM//Mace Blaster
Mutant X-7: Fire/MM//Mace Blaster
Running my Kin/EA gloriously
Come on I21!!!
Sure, the devs are supposed to listen to their customers, mister business 101 out there. And if I decide to start suggesting that the devs change the game from being about superheroes and supervillains to being about clowns that is my right as well, and technically Paragon Studios is supposed to pay attention to me. But I hope strongly that they assume a meth-head somehow managed to hack into my forum account and make paper airplanes out of my posts, because I hope they recognize stupid when they see it. I assume they will recognize futile just as accurately.

I loathe the first couple months after set proliferations. I find myself teaming with too many combos similar to my own.
I'm one of those odd folks who prefer to play the sets after a while when people get tired of it.
Nevertheless, I don't think anyone mentioned the few combos I had in mind. Which is a good thing I guess.

I think I am going to delete my only redside character (who is the sister of a blueside character. The "hero" having stolen her sister's tech design for fame and fortune.) and re-roll her as some sort of electricity blaster.
If Beam is not too pricey I will probably re-create my beam/nrg blaster from beta. She was incredibly sturdy through the lower levels, especially with disintegrate which helped out when I accidentally agro'd an entire room of Arachnos (stupid lag jump).
Plus I may re-create my fave character, a kat/da, on the new VIP server.

Someone mentioned a SS/Reg for pvp. I honestly had not thought about PvP at all. Think I may have to give this a shot.
Willpower has more passive regen than Regen does. Who thought that was a good idea?
Can we get a fix for Energy Melee instead of more new sets?

I don't mind seeing the same set with immense popularity.... I'll take that any day over a population drop off after people get 'bored' of the newness of an issue.
Nekron: Beam Rifle / Poison Corruptor and Slayer of Evil!! (Exalted)
Intergalaktic: Fire / Time Corruptor (Exalted)
I will be testing MARTy.
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!
Skeet Justice
Electric/Time Controller for 2 awesome PBAoE toggles.
And then StJ as soon as it launches.
I'm the opposite. I love the first couple of months. The game feels busier than usual (and it is). Teaming is so much easier. You see new people getting their feet wet, and old players coming back. It's a good time.

In no particular order:
plant or mind/poison controller
bots/time manipulation MM
dark blast/time manipulation corruptor
KM/EA scrapper
I might also create a dark blast/ice manipulation blaster - but I keep swearing off blasters and then thinking I want to play them again.
I will probably end up creating more - I have a bad habit of creating half a dozen alts for each new powerset each time proliferation/new powersets come out before I settle on the ones I want to play, but I have names, costumes and themes already prepared for the 4 in the list, so I am ready to go with those.

I was thinking Psych/Time Corrupter...
DP/Time is a great Gun-Kata/SR pistols scrapper theme... but Elec/Time Controller here. I'll debated other toons later (Likely something with katana on a brute).
Thank you, City of Heroes, for giving me a superhero social network combined with amazingly smooth game play. Petitions signed with realistic expectations.
Ill/Time Troller, and a Dark/Dark Blaster. Still undecided what I want to pair Beam with, so that will wait for the moment.
I find your lack of signature disturbing.
Time/Everything, no, literally.
I was saving names before i21 came out and ended with about 12 cocepts for Time. And yes, I will play them all. :P
Also, a Carnival themed Dark/Psy Corr, and maybe I'll get around to making a Regen Brute.

I saw a few mentions of ill/time controller. I'm planning on one too. I've never played illusion beyond level 6 before though so I'm not sure about how much I'll like the combo. Any thoughts from anyone, or suggestions?
Also going to roll a Time defender or corrupter. Not sure on what to pair it with though. Both Dark and Sonic look good and have a good fit with the character, but I'm torn. Any thoughts on that would be welcome as well.
And like OP, I wish StJ was gonna be live right now. Really want to recreate the StJ/Regen brute I made in Beta. I got the chance to play her at level 50 with a mostly complete IO build and she was rockin'.
And then, I won't be rolling up new, but I'll actually try playing my SS/EA brute again since EA got the revamp.

All my characters
I'm in a defender phase so...
Probably a time/sonic or a time/fire defender
