In my case: Just... play.
I haven't been on more than half a dozen times or so since 2012 started. 
█ Players Guide to the Cities
Fire/Dark or Dark/Dark Dominator are looking interesting. I hear the FX on the new powers are great.
I have a dark/dark dominator planned out. I've played with it a bit on beta and I've been loving it.
Once staff melee gets released I'll be making a stalker, either staff/SR or staff/nin, haven't decided yet.
i'll have to play around with the new toys before I stick with anything. Nothing really jumps out at me yet.

I think the Beast Master will be my first. Not sure about the secondary - dark is easy... I dunno.
And definitely a dark troller.

Trying to narrow myself to just a few characters until I get caught up with all the end game stuff. My spider, my blaster, and lastly I've wanted a Kinetics character for some time but couldn't pick a pair for it. It's a busy set with lots of powers I like and I always like to include leadership. With everything being targetted I would definitely take even tactics.
I could easily ignore my other set on any AT so I was looking for pets/toggles. Dark Control happens to have two neat pet powers, it's AE hold is ranged, and I can take a standard and useful lv1 power (the single hold).
Going to start a Dark/Kin troller and see how it goes.

Dark/kin would be good for meshing the 2 powersets together. And the good thing about kin is that it doesn't take a lot of enhancements to make itself useful.

Ill/Dark Controller
I'm going to name it after a Nobilis Character of mine....
An Obvious Distraction
As in..... 'Look! It's An Obvious Distraction!'
And... I think his costume just has to be done in the style of Mr. Subtle.......

It was an early leak that has since been locked down.
Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.

Well I was going to do a Staff Brute but that will have to wait so I'll work on a Beast Mistress .. probably use Thermal as a secondary like I did on Beta.. seemed to help even soloing to give the pets more defense.

I think I'm going to start with a dark/thermal controller and work from there...it kind of annoys me a little that the new dark (which looks really, REALLY cool) and the old dark don't match now. Maybe they'll give us an option in the future to make all the old dark sets look more like the newer ones, but considering how much work it'd be to reanimate all the dark sets, probably not. :/
City of Heroes taught me that when the world is burning, you don't just stand by and watch, you grab a fire extinguisher and do whatever you can to stop it-even if it's not much at all. Sign the petition to keep City of Heroes alive HERE.

I know what you mean. I was lucky enough to find a color combination when I was playing around on beta that seems to keep the differences from standing out.

Dark/Dark Dom definitely, I've been waiting years for it.

* Any toon you see with Midas in the name is probably me
* This thread made me consider making a tanker... I've wanted an X/Inv even since back to the last time I returned and saw the 'no FX' option, but never got around to it and with the whole 'generation' if you will of controllers and MM's running up to 50 I think this is the time to do one.

Woohoo, I figured out how to get internet access at work!
Anyway, today around 5pm PST I'll be on redside running lowbie missions and hopefully lowbie sewer trials. If anyone's interested in joining me keep an eye on the Protector Vigilance channel.

That was my thought too
My MA Arcs: [29581 - A Knight to Remember] [107587 - Upgrade] [41834 - Construction Blues]
Playing on: Protector - Guardian - Victory
So what's the first toon everyone's going to roll with the new patch?
I am very excited about the dark/dark troller. It sounds really cool, and I can't wait to try it out, though once I get a handle on the powers, I may change toons to try out different primary/secondaries with it to see what meshes best with my playstyle.
I made a rough levelling plan w the dark/dark, so we'll see if I like it. If not, I can always do mind/dark. THAT would be really cool! I can already see that meshing quite well.
So, what's your alt poison for the new issue?
