Most boring powerset/AT combos

For me the most boring characters to play are: Traps/anything defender or FF/anything defender with Bots/FF coming in third.

What about for you?

Hmm, I find my Psy dominator pretty boring.

Well, it depends on your playstyle. Try tanking with the Traps, it gets interesting. I always try to outrun the Tanks to get to the next spawn group, so they don't mess up the nice cluster.


Teams are the number one killer of soloists.

Bots/FF Mastermind. I've never had another powerset so nearly make me dismiss an entire AT. (Fortunately I talked to the MM forum folks, ended up with a shiny Thugs/Poison that was a heck of a ride to 50.)

The most boring character for me was definitely my Ill/Rad controller. Powerful, but dull.

For me it's tankers, scrappers, and brutes. Tab, F, play whack-a-mole with my attack bar, repeat ad infinitum. No thought or planning required. Though I will admit that my bots/ff mastermind was almost as easy: step forward, wait for the shooting to stop, step forward again, just remember to refresh the shields every 4 minutes.

Masterminds in general.
Ice/FF controller - Bubble stuff every 4 minutes, drop Ice slick when it's recharged, and use an occasion(yawn)al Ice block.

Illusion/Forcefield Controller! Most boring toon I've ever played! At least with the Mastermind you can control your pets!

If your mouse has greater processing power than your gfx card, the answer is yes.

I haven't played this, but I can imagine how boring. I do have an Ill/Sonic troller, which has a *little* more to do, but not much. Kills like crazy, but boring.

Anything that isn't a Dominator... I did try to like other ATs too.

Forcefields is by far one of the most boring powersets in the entire game. Period.

It is CRAZY powerful, especially on a defender, but boring. Sonic Resonance is more interesting in comparisons - people seem to love seeing a sonic defender now and then.

Masterminds.

Any Mastermind. I hate feeling like I'm just a buff-bot for a really stupid team.

I think this may be sig worthy.


I also forgot to add I tried rad/rad blaster before. NEVER AGAIN.

Bots/Traps MM. OH MY GOD. This is the kind of combo where you fall asleep and still win the fight, and only move on to the next group when your FFGen explodes and wakes you up.

FF/Archery defender. Using too-low-damage attacks against too-high-hp enemies is something I call 'chopping wood'. It isn't fun at all. Usually, you end up doing it because someone decides to go up against +4s or higher. Or, you can play this character.

Grav/TA controller... maybe with the new grav it would be playable. But for me it was just sooo... slow... to... do... anything... and... now... I... have... to... draw... my... bow... again...

VEATs before level 24 (but at level 24 they get a lot more interesting). So... I can shoot them with my gun, shoot them with my gun multiple times, or hit them with the butt of my gun? And the last one is the better attack?

I have a FF def that i used to farm mu in Rv with I would go by the villan base then run out and do errands. 3-4 hours later with Id reset if the Lonbow mech had died. If not Id come back another hour later.....

Also traps is boruing unless you like 15 sec activation times on mines.


another boring one is empath on a lvl 53 team. You get to play and not do anything worth being there for.


But any bubbler is soo dullllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll llllllllllll zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

for me its most melee toons but especially scrappers - other people love them though that and pretty much any cookie cutter build.

Basically the most boring is whatever you don't love playing.

I agree that FF seems to be pretty borning, on a Bot MM especially. My friend has his MM doing the Readnewspaper emote while his bots fight...

On the flip side my Zombie/Dark is very busy.

Anything involving a Granite/ Tank. I used to see so many that it got really old...
