Random thoughts on my 50's.

I'd have to make two teams out of my 50s, since they're split between heroes and villains and I don't have enough to make a full team on either side.

Heroside: Ice/axe tank, ill/rad controller, grav/ff controller, ta/a defender, storm/ice defender, peacebringer. Not a bad team, although I suspect the controllers will be doing all the heavy lifting. Rad, TA, and storm on the same team means enemies will be debuffed out the wazoo.

Villainside: Sonic/sonic corruptor, ss/inv brute, claws/nin stalker, elec/sr stalker. That's ... a little more unusual. Not much in the way of debuffs other than sonic's -res and Liquefy, but the team should be able to put out quite a bit of damage.

34 heroes,
20 villains, Victory, Justice, Infinity, Virtue, Triumph, Exalted -- some more active than others

I don't have eight 50's but I'd be able to make a good run at most content with what I've got.

50 Rad/Rad Defender
50 Trick Arrow/Archery Defender
50 Earth/Storm Controller
50 Assault Rifle/Dev Blaster
50 Shield/War Mace Tank
50 Kinetic Melee/Super Reflexes Scrapper

Buffs, debuffs, crowd control, AoE damage, ST damage, two defense capped melees... I've been on worse teams of eight.

I think I could put together a pretty balanced team with my blue-side 50s:

Inv/EM Tank
KM/EA Brute
BS/Regen Scrapper
DB/WP Scrapper
Grav/Storm Controller
Mind/Kin Controller
Ill/TA Controller
Fire/Fire Blaster
Ice/MM Blaster
Emp/Psi Defender

Ok, that's two too many. I'd probably bench the Ice/MM and the Inv/EM.

I'd only have enough for a team of five red-side:

WM/Shield Brute
Night Widow
Plant/Thorn Dom
Merc/Pain MM
NRG/Kin Corr

Not a bad start though, and I should have an Elec/Sonic controller to add to that mix soon enough.

Suggestions:
Super Packs Done Right
Influence Sink: IO Level Mod/Recrafting
Random Merit Rolls: Scale cost by Toon Level

Man, I only got one, an Inv/Dual Blades tanker.

I suppose I could have it exemplar my 7 highest alts.

Professor von Furcht - 50+1 Bots/Traps/Mace Rogue Mastermind
Unraveler of Mystery - 50+1 Psi/Mental/Force Vigilante Blaster
Executioner Kincade - 50+1 Bane/Spider/Mace Rogue Soldier
Brite Lite - 50+1 Tri/Form Vigilante Peacebringer
Battle Ballerina -50+1 MA/SR/Body Vigilante Scrapper
Black Eight - 50+1 Dark/AR/Dark Vigilante Defender

I got several more toons in the 40-49 range, but the next in line to join the 50 Squad is:

Marquise de Sade - 47 DP/Pain/Leviathan Rogue Corruptor

So yeah, I like to think it's a pretty balanced team my 50s got going. Also why yes, I do like the intermediary alignments, so all my 50s can conveivably team with each other.

If I had to field a blueside team, it would be (in approximate order of creation):

Generator RS-88 Elec/Elec Blaster
Gatecrasher Inv/SS Tank
Kid Tesla (Kin/Elec Defender)
Shatterbrain (Mind/Psi Dom)
Rallying Cry (Son/Son Def)
Snowbrawl (WP/Ice Tank)
Promethean Protector (Fire/Thermal Con)
Doctor Muspelheim (Fire/Pain Corr Rogue)

I would totally go to war with that group, but either of the I19 TFs might get dodgy, as Kid, Promethean, and Shatterbrain still have no Alpha.

This thread has me wishing for City of Heroes: Task Force Commander, the new release from Only In Gate's Head Studios where we commanded teams of heroes and villains.

Mostly Pinnacle, with scattered alts on Liberty, Freedom, and Justice.


I had a great time playing with you!
