What do you think about Power Proliferation?

Have you fought a Psionic/Energy Blaster yet?

Or how about a Plant/Emp Troller?

Maybe a Super Strength/Super Reflex Brute?

How about a Ninja/Storm Mastermind?

Tell us how you think the idea that most have wanted since day one of CoV to finally take place!

I myself can't wait to make a Fire/Super Reflex brute. =D

For my own experience, which is recent, the mental blasters kick butt. [nitemare wraith] made a Psychic/Energy and it owns. I made a fire/Dark Melee tank and it also does very well.

The fire/dark tank works out well. With Healing Flames and Consume within the Fire Aura set, with the Siphon health and other siphon powers in the Dark Melee, it literally lets the tanker feed off the enemy.

I also like the Defenders with Cold Domination, giving out Ice Armor. Fire Scrappers are fun to play in a team with, specially with a fire aura tank.

On the vilains side. It got a little bit worse... Masterminds are great with Storm Summoning, it keeps the heroes away in PvP, but that is about it. Stalkers don't need Electric melee, it just isn't a type of power they would use. Nice powers for Dominators, but no one uses Earth Control on heroes that much, why would they use it in Villains? Corruptors are ok, since I've seen blasters with electric attacks. Brutes look awesome with weapons like the Battle Axe and War Mace. Super Reflexes also help because you can dodge the attacks, not get hurt, and still raise your rage.

Overall, the Dominators, Masterminds, and Stalkers got the short end of the stick for what I've seen.

P.S. The Arachnos Soldier and Arachnos Widow look tight! I REALLY can't wait to get my brute to 50 now. Of course, he is lvl 30 in Guardian if anyone wants to help. =D

I want a Crab and Bane for the most part.

I havn't tried much of the new powersets execpt for the electric attack for stalkers. It is pretty good but I still need to get higher for a better idea.(only level 8 ) But I have a level 50 earth controller by the wayso people still play them. And I even ended up on a team with a earth dominator also.

I also really want a level 50 villain to get the new epics. They look really fun. Anyone know how to get to the new zone? I havn't looked for it yet but just wondering.

I'll have to say, I changed my idea on Earth Doms. I team with two GREAT ones last night. Maybe it was just that person? Oh well. We teamed from lvl 9-15 lol.

I know. I want to get to Crimerora, but can't find out how :S

Today I just started a fire/mental manipulation blaster. I didn't go with the psychic blast because I looked at it and its exactly like the defender set basicaly. But the secondary mental manipulation looks interesting expecialy the world of confusion toggle. Can't wait to get high enough level to get it. (hopefully I will make it high enough whee ) But I wnt through the sewer with a team and got to level 8. Its looking promising even though I only have two powers from it.

Cool.

I have a Dual Blade/Fire Aura Brute now on Virtue, since most of my friends switched to that server from Guardian now. T.T

Its fun. Three days, and he is lvl 25 ^.^
For some reason, he does awesome damage, and takes it as well. Way better than my Fire/Stone Brute for some reason.

Farther and farther up I get in levels, the SoA get better and better... The Stone Dom gets nicer and nicer, and the stalker is ok now, but not the best...

Team with a lvl 50 Psy/Energy/Flame blaster on my Kat/SR/Body scrapper and it was crazy how much damage he was doing. On the same team there was a Energy/Psy/Force and she was doing crazy amounts as well. They seem like a great combination with any powersets...

Leveling seems to be going good for you right now. And I found out how to get to Crimerora. You need to finish a story arc you get from a new contact in the univetsity in Steel Canyon. He's in the libary, not sure where the villain contact is.

Ya, asked around for that.
I can't find out about the red-side. I'll ask my lvl 50 friends and see how they are getting there.

Ya, Soviet Release is a nice brute. Too bad I made him on Virtue and not on Guardian or another one. Oh well, lvl 29 now. Kicked butt in PvP because they don't see Dual Blades alot there... lol. Got about 500 points in Siren's before someone figured out that I was using the same combo, with different endings for my Empower and Weaken Combos... lol.

I like the proliferation. Only seen the Brute end of it though, lol. Got an Axe/Will and a Mace/Reflexes one on the way up. They're still low-level though. I like my Fire/Reflexes scrapper too much, haha.

Ya. I saw the Fire scrappers in action finally.
A lot of DPS with Spines.... the Spine/Fire I saw was awesome. Taking down groups 3 lvls higher than him taking 1-5 out at a time.
