Going to go with Kin/Elec scrapper. Why? Well, because. That's why.

If you're specifically looking for damage, I'd recommend a Corruptor over a Defender. Fire/Kin is always fun, I also enjoy DP/Kin, Archery/Kin, heck just about anything works well with it.

No problems here.

I see you're in EU, wasn't there some issue with EU customers getting into Beta? Or am I all mixed up (which is a distinct possibility)?

I'd get Arctic Air late in the build, as Amy Amp mentioned you will have Heat Loss and that will greatly offset any endurance issues you may have, especially if you have a pleasant amount of global recharge.

Snow Storm is skippable, even on my Cold/Sonic I rarely end up using it. Flash Freeze is skippable, but if you want a cheapish purple set it's a decent place for it.

This reminds me of how much I hate the Synapse TF. Haven't done it for at least 3 years now, I intend to keep that streak going until the end of time (or until the TF is changed, anyway).

My ceramic smoker is shattered & my neighbor's carport fell over on his car. Some water lines burst, too.

As far as being nuked... that's a definite thought in the mind of those that live relatively close to the Norfolk Shipyards.

I like these, but not as much as the original old ones. I know that sounds a little nitpicky but considering I absolutely abhorred the other "new" CoT... I'm fine with this.

I have an Elec/Fire scrapper that's built just for playing. 35% S/L defense, comparable energy/negative defense. Global recharge is something like 50%, not a huge amount. For farming ambush maps it is okay. For farming normal game missions it's not all that hot because enemies flee like crazy. Yes, I have a deadly alpha strike. If I had made the toon for farming purposes I would definitely have gone for a Brute for the taunt factor as well as the higher fire resist.

Traps is one of the most fun powersets I've ever played. I would recommend rolling a Corr, though, so you'll have a little more killing power on your duo. Other than that I'd think maybe Cold Domination or Dark Miasma.

His foot used to keep zones from loading on my old PC.

...other than it's about superheroes, what would it be?

Now, let me explain what made me think of this question. When you talk to non-gamers about games it seems that some things are common knowledge about certain games. Things like, "Oh, is that the game with the real long dungeons?" or "I don't have enough spare time to be able to do the prerequisites for the prerequisites for the prequisites of the prerequisite dungeons for the end-game dungeons in that game," or even, "Oh, that's the one where you fly, right?" Heck, even a lot of shooter games have some things that are common knowledge. For instance when I was relating a story about a couple online friends to some friends I was having lunch with they interrupted me with, "Is that the game where you play some terrorist in an airport?"

So... if you could have everyone know just one important thing about City of Heroes... what would that one thing be?

For me it would be "Variety". There is just so much variety in City of Heroes. Character customization is taken to a whole new level with costume parts, powers (and different animations and color options for many of those powers), enhancements so that the same powers from two different people will not necessarily behave exactly the same, story arcs with various villains and heroes making appearances, the ability to make your own missions or to play the missions of your friends or complete strangers... there's just a heck of a lot of variety.

I would have loved to have had Longbow as heroic EAT. If you look to the Gold then there are a few options there as well. One o' dem dere rocket-backpack dudes. That'd be sweet.

But yeah... I would like a Longbow option. Vanguard as well.

Fearsome Stare? -ToHit. Personally I slot the tentacles either for damage or Enfeebleds for S/L/Melee defense, but that's just me. And I think if they have Negative Energy Resistance then they'll resist a portion of the debuff... but I honestly don't remember how that works for sure.

Edit: And if you have Power Boost or Power Build Up your Fearsome Stare becomes even more amazing.

You're probably better off posting this in the Freedom forums.

On my Traps/DP, Dreadtek, I am typically the first in. I put down the Poison Gas Trap first, toss out Caltrops because it's fast, then drop a mortar. After the mortar is down I'm using the T9 blast. Hail of Bullets? I forget. Very gun-mojo power. Most stuff is dead by now.

For AV fights I put down the seekers to bring the AV's damage down to near zero, put down the poison gas traps & mortars, and rock their socks with some toxic ammo if the seekers missed.

Damn you, potato! Damn you to Praetoria!
