One of every AT goal.

Hello everyone! New to "posting" on the forums, but not new to reading them. The title says it all. I am looking to make a 50 of every AT. I already have plenty of 50s.. But they tend to gather dust, or get stripped of their IOs. What I am wanting to do is make the best of every AT, and make them very good builds. Just looking for suggestions as to which powerset combinations you find incredibly fun. I started this goal with an Ice/Time/Power Corruptor, and I absolutely love it. Not sure what I would like to build next.. Possibly an AV soloer that is not melee. Post away with your builds that you absolutely love =]

My favorite 50s at the moment are my Fire/SR scrapper and my Dark/Shield scrapper. Both are lots of fun to play, both can Solo AVs pretty easily (and without the use of incarnate stuff).

I was actually thinking of dusting off my Dark/Shield scrapper. I have one at 50. I also have been leveling up a Dark Melee/Energy scrapper as well, but when he got to 46, I rolled an Ice/Time Corruptor and never looked back.

My 50s of every AT:

SM/WP brute
WP/EM tanker
BS/Regen scrapper
Electric/Nin stalker
Sonic/Energy blaster
Emp/Sonic defender
Fire/Dark corrupter
Bots/Traps masterminds
Ill/Rad controllers
Mind/Fire dominator
Fortunata (though the NW "build 2" is just as maxed out)
Crab
Peacebringer

While the standouts on the list are the ones you see on every list - the dominator, the mastermind, and the controller - I'd happily put forth any of them as the 'best' of their AT. There's really not such a thing because it depends entirely on what you're doing with them. While any combination can be great at all situations no combo is the best at all.

Most important factor? They were all fun to play. Especially that fire/dark corrupter. Rain of Fire on a tar patch never gets old, and it's a combo that comes at level 6 and can be done from around a corner so nothing even gets to shoot back.

I did the 'get each AT to 50' project to its conclusion a while back. I admit I counted khelds as one AT because I've never had a desire to do a PB, and still don't, so I can be faulted for lack of completion on that basis.

Otherwise I do have at least one of each.
Thugs/Traps MM
Plant/Thorns Dom
WS
Ar/Traps Corr
(don't play any of the above much, but they are the singular 50s in those ATs)
I have multiple 50 of all the rest of the ATs. It wouldn't be worth the time to list. Currently 'active' ones would be:
Elec/Elec tanker
WM/WP brute
Crab
Nightwidow
WM/EA scrapper
Elec/SR stalker

I'm not overly fond of lvl 50 squishies, but have a fair number I can employ if needed. I find them unsuitable to how I like to solo, and I generally don't like to have to rely on teams. While I prefer to team, it's not always an option, and the ability to bail on the bad team and still do something is nice.

The one of every AT goal was a fun one I just finally achieved last month. Found out I absolutely loathe playing my peacebringer which sadly surprised me since I adore my warshade (both Tri-form). The widow and crab were fun, personally the fortunata and bane weren't quite as enjoyable. Moving on from epics I'd highly recommend a couple of my absolute favorites:

Sonic/kinetics corruptor-awesome synergy of sets;felt like 50 came too fast and that was mostly solo.

Electric Armor/Fire Melee brute-I have WP/SS & FM/Claws as well but always fall back to this. Great Resists and great damage; and oddly enough I don't even have fire breath.

Plant/fire dominator-have this one perma'd and love watching the chaos unfold.

Radiation/psy blaster-the only blaster I've ever found fun to play, but since I hate playing blasters in general you may want to listen to others for that! She was my first completely 4 tiered incarnate and I still love playing her too though.

It's a fun goal, hope you enjoy reaching it!

Well, you asked for the best of every AT, but then said combos we find really fun, so here goes:

Fire/Fire scrapper - absolutely ridiculous when fully built with IOs/Incarnate stuff
Plant/Thorn dominator - very fun and so effective on teams
Fire/Fire dominator - can outfarm any melee toon I have ever made
Thugs/Traps mastermind - needs no explanation really, just really fun combo

I have exactly 20 level 50s, and these were the most fun ones. I played a lot of my stone/dark brute also but I wouldn't recommend it unless you want to devote a lot of time/money into it.

I'm attempting to do this as well. I'm still a very long way off though. I've only done controllers, doms, a mastermind, a warshade, and a stalker so far.

One thing I had in mind was that I would do the melee classes in order of how enjoyable I thought they would be, from least to most. Judging from others love for the ATs my order was to be stalker, tanker, scrapper, brute. Turns out I really enjoyed the stalker. The tanker, though not as interesting as the stalker, has surprised me by being enjoyable. The scrapper so far has been the most dull (punch, punch, yawn, punch). A brief foray with the brute inclines me to think it will be fun as well.

From my purely subjective standpoint:

- Brute: SS/FA
- Scrapper: DB/Elec
- Dominator: Mind/Fire
- Blaster: Fire/MM

Haha, I started off with that goal years ago, and failed when I noticed I was racking up more and more Scrappers and Brutes. XD

I'll list the ones at 40 or higher which I personally found fun and had no temptation of deleting throughout their journey.

Tanker: Inv/SS
Scrapper: Fire/Shield, MA/Regen, DB/WP
Blaster: Ice/Nrg
Controller: Ill/Rad
Defender: Emp/Nrg

Brute: Elec/Elec, SS/SR, SS/Fire (mine plays well outside of farming, so eh)
Mastermind: Thugs/Dark
Corruptor: AR/Traps (bear in mind mileage may vary with AR, but Traps is awesome)
Dominator: Plant/Psi
Stalker: NB/Nin (don't get claws, you'll regret it )
VEATs: Crab Spider, Night Widow, Fortunata

Don't forget the MFing Warshade.

This is my first 50 of the project. Very durable and very fun. To me at least

I'm hoping that the outcome of getting a 50 of every AT will allow me to hop on any of them when a team requires it.. And love being on that character.

I've made over fifty lvl 50's after seven years of play. Some have been so nerfed that they were long since deleted. These days, if the toon can't solo +4/x8 by level 45, I typically strip them of all IOs and delete them. For this reason, I don't have many Tanks or Defenders in the mix....I can build them to solo +4/x8, but they are slow performers and not worth my time.

The best of the best are Controllers, Brutes, Scrappers, MasterMinds, Dominators and of course "easy mode" Scrappers. All others...second class heroes.

It took awhile for me.

I got the hero ones done first. I would say PB and Defender were the hardest blueside for me. PBs suck big time in teams with all of the KB. I like support sets on controllers but for some reason I don't like support primary with a weak blaster set. Scrapper was the last hero I got to 50 but pretty easy. Tank, WS, blaster and controllers were pretty fun.


Villains was a little different. MM was my first 50 and it was a joke. Brute was my next 50 and it was easy. Widow was next very nice teaming and solo. Solider was also nice teaming and ok solo. I didn't like my Dominator all that much, but I had a much better time after I moved over to heroside. Corruptor is strange to me, I sometimes had a hard time deciding if I should blast or use support powers. The last 50 was the lolstalker. Ugh what an awful experience. Teams would not want to invite a stalker along so it was a long slog to 50 mostly solo.

Thought this was a fun thread, so here are my 2 cents....I have this goal in mind as well but still got some work to do...first, here is my list

Blaster - fire/fire
Brute - elec/shield, dm/fire (wm/stone, ss/regen and stone/shield in progress)
Corruptor - In Progress (fire/dark, beam/rad)
Defender - In Progress (storm/dp)
Dominator - Elec/Fire
Scrapper - Dm/Sr, Spines/Fire, Fire/Wp, Fire/Regen (stj/wp in progress)
Stalker - Km/Wp
Tanker - Inv/Fire, Wp/Wm, Wp/Ss (Ice/Elec in progress)
Controller - In Progress (ill/ff, ill/time)
Mastermind - In Progress (demon/sonic)
Peacebringer - Not started yet
Warshade - In Progress Triform
Arachnos Soldier - In Progress
Arachnos Widow - Fortunata and Widow (Dual Build)

**Now since you asked for fun combo's, well of course thats subjective, not just on the person but playing this game for many years i realize i am subjective to mood as well....so currently the toons i always bring out are my first toon ever dm/sr scrapper, spine/fire scrapper, fire/fire blaster, ss/regen brute and km/wp stalker, now that i have tested the all new assassin focus system on Beta...its gonna be fun!! I plan on rolling many new toons to add to this list once i22 hits (TOMORROW) and thereafter, i am thinking a dark/dark dom, staff/ice stalker and beast/traps mm....we will see, but hope these give you some ideas, i am and always will be a melee player at heart!!**

I'm working on making one of AT to 50, too. Though they are my first characters, and also the first of all of the ATs that I am trying. I'm doing it because I"m kind of neurotic like that, and also I'm working by themes instead of actual powersets. Sometimes I get good combos, but sometimes I don't. Running a Beam Rifle/Darkness Manipulation blaster right now, and they do not go together...


My best advice for "fun" sets is to use sets that kind of go with each other. If that doesn't work, go with the sets that have no counterparts and are extremely weird.

Interesting thread!!

I just started looking at this the other day on my toons...

Blaster - 50. Fire/Fire (deleted pre-IO launch which was a regret!) Have a Rad/En I'm slowly levelling.
Brute - 50. SS/Wpr (boring, then deleted) & DB/Elec (boring & to be deleted)
Corruptor - In Progress - 37 DP/Rad (fun), 36 Sonic/Kin (a bit dull) and 30 Fire/Dark (struggling to enjoy).
Defender - 50. Emp/Psi who has been retired due to my perception of Emp being pretty much overshadowed by other sets. Also a TA/A who was a lot of fun and felt like he made a big difference on teams.
Dominator - 50. Mind/Psi with perma Dom and no Hasten. Much improved since being able to put Dom on Auto.
Scrapper - 50. BS/SD. Tons of fun all the way to 50.
Stalker - In Progress - 28 NB/Nin. Rolled a lot of Stalkers up to the late 30's then deleted. Not a massive fan of the AT, though I22 buffs may change that.
Tanker - 50. Ice/Ice (pretty boring - then deleted) & Invuln/SJ which literally flew to 50.
Controller - 50. Fire/Storm. Melts through pretty much all non-icontent. Probably my favourite toon next to the BS/SD scrapper. Did get an Ill/FF troller to 47 then deleted it due to a 7 year frustration!
Mastermind - In Progress - 45 Thugs/Traps that is a lot of fun, and a 28 Necro/Time concept build.
Peacebringer - 50. Perma LF without Hasten. Yummy and fun.
Warshade - Way too clicky for me. Not going to bother.
Arachnos Soldier - 28 and a bit bored.
Arachnos Widow - To do...

I also took a look at all the "elements" within the powersets, and whilst the "50" goal is interesting, I also want to play through the different special effects. Electricity, Dark & Fire don't feature much in my toon list and Earth and Grav don't feature at all.

My only regret was deleting my Fire/Fire blaster after hitting 50 pre-IO days. I think IOs and iContent would have made a very different toon.
