YOU decide my next toon

The easiest ride in the game (for me) is the Super Strength / Willpower Brute. Strong and powerful on SOs, and super easy on a strong I/O build. I have rolled many of these, and recently made the decision for one to be my main. I solo'd all the way through Praetoria for the couple extra badges only available there since this build will be my badger over the next few years. I have almost all tuned enhancers on him (everywhere they fit!) since this will also be my go-to exemplar'd build.

For me Super Strength has always been one of the most smashtastic brutiest super sets ever. The bonuses from Rage are unequaled in the game. Paired with Willpower you are the energizer bunny of Brutes. Definitely not Tanky, (especially with Will's weak taunt aura), but plays closer to one of the meanest Scrappers ever. Just watch it so you never take a full alpha to the face (or do if I/O'd!) and soak up the hate, pouring it back as FS and KO extra damage.

Dark/cold/dark corruptor flat out the most fun I've had on a ranged toon. Dark/dark/dark defender is a second for me


Currently Playing:
Rage King - SS/Regen Brute (50+3)
Soulfire Darkness - Dark/Fire Tank (50+2)
Deaths Final Embrace - Kat/Dark Brute (50+3)

Having seen your list now, I'd expand my earlier suggestion to any team-dependent Corrupter/Defender. Choose from one of the following support sets:

Sonic Resonance
Pain Domination
Thermal
Cold Domination

None of them are brilliant at solo-ing by any means, but they can all do it at a pinch when you find yourself in an empty zone. But you kind of need a team to really power through the levels, and when you do, you really feel your contribution. Its a very different mindset from playing a more independent character. You might find you like it as a change of pace.

You've done Kin and Rad, both of which are very self-supporting, so are Dark, Storm and Time.

Going to have to say TA/DP/Mace

Here is my 2 cents (inf) based off your list...

Defender: I have not been a big fan of defenders, however, 2 that i totally enjoy, both currently at lvl 40.... Traps/Sonic and Sonic/Water

Corruptor: Dont have many of these myself, but my corrs that survived my delete cuts in the past are Fire/Kin...and just made a elec/nature... really anything/nature is probably fun

MM: only 2 mms i have not deleted are Beast/Time (AMAZING combo) and Demon/Sonic...

However i do find one thing offensive on your list and appalling! NO STAFF!! lol... one of the most fun toons i have ever made is a Staff/Dark Brute... so that would be my no 1 recommendation to you, its strong and fun.....Good Luck

**also i know you already have an ill/rad but i have a blast on my ill/dark.... also love my ss/regen brute, but i see you have a ton of ss toons already also!**

Consider a Cold/Sonic Def and become a big game hunter. Rad/Sonic would work too. Prefer a corr, then reverse it up.

Get perma eclipse on a warshade and enjoy divinity.

Wanna do support in itrials, go Sonic resonance or thermal with anything. Most itiral type folks are softcapped at late levels and many teams pick up def buffs, manuevers, etc..., but squishies love extra resist which is less common. Sonic give mez protection for those without as well.

Want redraw, Go Beam Rifle/TA/mace corr.

On a more serious note, I made a FF/Beam Rifle and really loved it as I only needed a few powers from FF, easy to softcap and could focus on BR attacks and blasting. I also hate mez, so you only have to worry about sleep. The BR has great ST damage with decent secondary effects and you can have fun with disintegrate.

Want to be in control, Earth/rad or Illusion/Rad (or storm). Great fun.

Personally, if you do not have a GM or AV soloer, then go with my first suggestions. Soloing a GM or AV is a great source of fun and challenge and after you start to collect 50s, its kinda the last real challenge.

My Storm/Fire Defender is easily the most fun I've had in this game to date.

Though, Storm anything really is a blast. It's a highly underrated powerset in terms of effectiveness. It's got an amazing debuff in Freezing Rain and an excellent source of control AND damage with its Tornado and Lightning Storm. Not to mention Tornado is ridiculous with an Overwhelming Force proc.

Those are just three powers, the only power I don't like is Gale... and it can be really fun to use if you're bored.

Sonic/Cold/Dark or Rad/Cold/Dark on corruptors might just be really impressive for soloing AVs/GMs as well.

Bots/storm, embrace the KB


Triumphant Defenders Forever
Psylenz FF/Psi, ArticQuark Storm/Rad, Symon BarSisyphus Bots/psn, Max VanSydow Thugs/Dk, Cyclone Symon Bots/stm, Blue Loki Ice/Cd, Widow 46526
HelinCarnate:OMG it is so terrible. I have the option to take 3 more powers but no additional slots. Boo F'ing hoo.

Lets see I would recomend:

For Corruptor- Dark/Time or Fire/anything
Defender- Rad/Sonic or Cold/Sonic
I have had a blast with all these.

Havent really played MM, not my cup of tea
and I haven't played the epic ATs yet, because there are so many other combos I want to try first before I start tinkering with those.

p.s. redraw isnt that much of an issue if you drop all your debuffs then attack.( or otherwise) by that point....maybe 1, or 2 things will still be up, like av's, but even bosses only require a hit or two more.

Go for it.
TA is so underrated. Everyone seems to think the redraw is crazy, but (like you said) for most fights you actually use all your arrows setting up and then would pull out your pistols.

If you can light OSA with Incendiary rounds, this actually would be a fun concept. OSA + HoB will get you up to 900 damage without any buffing.

And taking mace mastery wouldn't have to ruin it with the added redraw, just take scorp shield, FA and the summon.
Ha! to all the redraw lolers.

I have a grav/ta controller who is a ton of fun.

It's an odd combo that is super powerful on a team, certainly more powerful than you'd expect given its lack of popularity.
