Lightslinger

I can't stand the merit vendors based entirely on their costumes.

I'm pretty sure Praetoria can be a starting zone as well, so its most likely 1-50.

You say all there is to do at 50 is run paper missions? What about mothership raids, ITFs, LGTFs, STFs, LRSFs, Invasions (when they happen), Ouroboros, etc. I understand you may not like those things, but it doesn't mean they don't exist and are "endgame" content.

Sounds like we should just help revive Scrapperlock on Infinity if we're wanting a SG.

My next Scrapper project will probably be an Elec/Shield as soon as I16 hits, I'd roll him up on Infinity if Scrapperlock were back.

Yep, I'm planning an angel character that will be a Dual Pistols/Sonic Corruptor. Thankfully Dual Pistols will be released with Going Rogue so I'll be able to swap to hero quickly.

I'm thinking the combo of stun protection and -res from /Sonic will go well with DP, or at least I'm hoping they will :P

heh, I started this a few years ago. Most of these are still under 10, but I have Lightslinger as an Inv/ Tank, a /WP Scrapper, an Ill/Rad Controller, and a Peacebringer, there are several more but I can't recall all the other combos of Lightslinger out there

Exactly why this has boggled me! If you go the Green Lantern route of "hard light" constructs and blasts, Energy is perfect! But if you go the UV radiation route, Rad/ is perfect!

I think a reroll to a rad blaster would be nice- giving you the opportunity to try it out and the fact as someone mentioned, the sound effects are cooler that energy's in reference to light powers. However if the visual aspect is most important to you I think an energy or peacebringer might be best. My suggestion is to download all of these powersets if you have them into the tutorial. When it goes into open beta, take a look at what the powers will look like yellow when you recolor.

I think the particle effects are what eventually swayed my decision completely, Rad's later blast effects don't really reflect a sunlight blaster as well.

Thanks for the opinions and help everyone. I've decided Lightslinger on Victory (the original) will be updating his Energy attacks to the appropriate sunlight blasts come I16. While radiation does capture some parts of Lightslinger's concept better than Energy, overall the late game graphics stray too far from the idea of Lightslinger. The aforementioned Green Lantern way of looking at Lightslinger's powers, more as "hard light blasts/constructs" than radiation seems to fit the concept better.

Altoholic I am it only took a few seconds to come up with a new concept for my Rad blaster on Virtue. What would've been a new version of Lightslinger as a Radiation Blaster will now be called Everlight (I was proud of this name snag too!)

Thanks for indulging my OCD-esque questions and concerns regarding my character concepts. I hope this thread helped someone else who may have been considering a better way to portray light attacks come Issue 16.
