The strongest 8 man team of the same power sets

Fire/Rads.

If you want some variation, the craziest superteam I was on wasn't all the same powerset. It was called Brutal Speed where everyone was electric or fire brutes combined with kinetic corruptors. It was insane.

I think the best possible answer will always involve Radiation Emmision. But as for the AT... lots of ideas pop into my head. One particularly fast and devastating idea is Rad/Sonic Defenders of course... but what about Fire/Rad Controllers? All that hotfeet damage, amplified by garunteed containment on every foe and all the +dmg buff and -resistance debuff from Rad. Then of course, there's Fire Blast / Rad Corruptors. Rad isn't just debuffing the enemies to death, it's also giving the team much more recharge and recovery than they could possibly need, which comes with a health damage buff and mez resistance as well. At that point, all that really matters is how fast you can kill.

I've never played in a superteam, but one time I was running the redside arc where you fight 8 of your clones. The team leader was a crab, and when those 8 crabs spawned they wiped the floor with us. We went back a few times, and I've never been spanked so hard outside the Freedom Phalanx.

Eventually we reset with another toon leading the team so we'd get the badge.

I think crabs have to be a candidate, because on top of the awesome buffs, venom grenades do extra -poison resist, while doing poison damage. If everyone took Mako's -resist cone and poison cone it would be ridiculous.

Speaking of poison, I wonder what a team of 8 ninja/poisons would look like. If everyone took maneuvers, you'd be "safe enough" for long enough to melt anything. After Barrier, fuggedaboutit.

Ill/Rad

Easily capped recharge, 24 untouchable high-damage pets, an additional 8 pets that can call 8 more untouchables. -200% defense, -200% to-hit, -180% resistance, -160% damage, -600% recharge, -600% movement, -4,000% regen.

Insanity, although I think Ill/SS may make a run for one of the sets without rad to make it into the most powerful super-team sets...

Another one, Arachnos Widows, would be great. 80% defense with no toggles, 40% to-hit buffs, +240% damage all around, that and super-high damage to begin with... Insane much?

First: The dev's seriously need to address buff/debuff stacking.


Ok, got that outta my system.


A homogenous mix is always going to be optimized if you have buffs and debuffs. Resist and regen debuffs are the most potent, IMO. (Benumb is a powerful counterargument, though.)

So that narrows it down to rad and sonic, in my books.

A mix of fire/rads and fire/sonics would be close to the max possible. For flavor, toss in a rad/fire or sonic/fire.

More variety would be any combo of sonic/rad/fire/cold. A superteam with any mix of those on every toon would be FEARSOME.

I have been on a few Super Teams and designed teams . . . Ill/Rad was great, a team of Fire/Dark corrupters was the second best, but nothing, NOTHING comes close to a full team of 8 Fire/Rad Controllers.

8 x AM caps damage, recharge, Recovery. 8 x Choking Cloud means everything is held instantly. 8 x Hot Feet puts out a huge amount of damage, and all you have to do is pop AM whenever it is up and walk around together.

That's what makes Fire/Rad so powerful . . . most of the time, you don't have to cast anything other than leave AM on Auto. Just run around as a group, and everything is quickly held and dies. AVs might last a few seconds, and may need an application of Char and then EF. Stacked CC + stacked Char is enough to hold the AVs.

Titan/Bio Armor

Ok... If you are doing a Crab superteam I am in just tell me when and where. If you do a Fire/Dark troller team that would be amazing and I will join.


P.S. How about an all rad Superteam that includes Trollers, Corrs and Defenders? Just have to have a rad debuff with any offensive power you want.

P.S.S. I am going somewhere I dont think anyone has mentioned yet. How about a Dark/Poison Corruptor team? +8 Tenebrous Tentacles = Lock down Mob, +8 Dark Pit = Stunned mob, and that is just before we get started with the debuffs that are targeted AoE's. I once did an all PvP arena match with 8 emps and our whole goal was to buff the person below us on the team list. The last person on the team buffs the team leader and we all were able to play offensive since we each only had one person to buff. It was awesome and we actual won. We can do the same with the a Poison team, but easier since it is only one heal and one mez resist.

While I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be "strongest," I've long wondered if a team of 8 Electric Blast/Radiation characters who are teleported around together are defeatable. In particular, if all of them take Dark Mastery >> Oppressive Gloom. I'm not really sure how much damage Voltaic Sentinel puts out or how fast it moves, or actually whether you can even buff it.

I am mainly just curious about whether all 8 players can cast Thunderous Blast at an AV without their endurance crashing if the AV is the only living target. Looking at Mids, at the damage cap for Corruptors that's 750 damage per nuke. 750 x 8 = 6000 damage in 4 seconds, before considering resistances and level differences. Not the most impressive, but I want to see an AVs end bar crash just once.
