I haven't played for a couple of years, and even then it was only for a couple of months after a previous long break. I have several low-level heroes (highest is level 17 /blush), so I figured it would probably be best to just start over. I have the CoV expansion, but I don't have GR yet.
1. I liked my defender and controller quite a bit, but I did suffer from low damage output. Has that improved any?
2. If I roll another defender, soloing may get tough. What's the low-level population look like for grouping these days?
3. As I recall, conventional wisdom in the past was to avoid spending influence on slotting powers until level 20 or so. Is that still a good idea?
4. Are there any good FAQ's available to catch someone up (heck, more like educate all over again) on all the changes since launch?
Any other tips or advice would be much appreciated.
