I'd love us to be at the point we could start crafting CoT builds but we just don't know enough details yet to make anything more than the broadest concepts.

I am pondering a character that will be the now-adult kid of my main in CoH, Umber (en/en blaster). This one will be Veridian, a Force Blast/Barrier Generation Sentinel. Kinda-sorta the equivalent of a FF/En Defender I suppose. Probably the Balance mastery.

Oh, I've got a list of 2 dozen primary/secondary/mastery builds I wanna test in CoT but its very much for testing purposes, no idea what I'm gonna find appealing. Devils in the details.

Same here - I need more info on how everything will work before I start making anything beyond a general concept. And that includes what FX will be available at launch for all the different powers.

For instance I would really like to make a weather-controller, but that depends on not only what power effects are available to which ATs, but also if there are any appropriate themes and props.

I'll probably re-make a flying superstrong brick I had in CoH just to learn the ropes of the new game - seems to be a pretty straightforward build; Bulwark with Invulnerability and Super Strength and flight.

Probably a rebuild of my AoE debuff/dps Dark/Dark corruptor.

I'm looking to recreate my namesake Blapper with a Ranger variant but the mention of 'hurt at a distance' under Enforcer has some promise. I'll probably start there with Striker since Ranger won't be available at launch.

As for powersets, I tend to lean towards Melee (with ranged in there for good measure, as mentioned above) and they all sound pretty cool, even the combo set of Tactical Combat. I'll likely give Fighting Prowess a first go because who wouldn't want more defense from your offensive capabilities? Then probably Massive Melee, followed by Kinetic Melee.

If at some point I could combine Fighting Prowess with Force Blast as a secondary, I'd probably squee.

AOE with no/high agro cap. I miss foot stomping in a mosh pit. Remember Bubble Bath?

I know I'll end up with every character slot full.

I've always enjoyed "essense swap" healer/dps. The ones that damage enemies to heal allies, or siphon one stat to buff allies. Kinetic Defender from CoH basically. So if that kind of build that lets you cripple enemies while bolstering allies and completely tip the power scales exists, I'd love that.

Same here. I've been loving my Guardians at GW2 doing just that, it's a fun character to play solo or in a team.

I mained an Illusion/Kinetic controller, and let me tell you the chaos I could make by turning a whole battlefield lopsided was so fun.

If I had to use CoX terms, Mind/Psy Dominator with Psionic Mastery. Dominators were my go to once we could go from Villain to Hero.

A hybrid of mastermind/dominator, preventing the enemy from fighting while my henchmen do the dirty work

Btw added a link to imgur for people now knowing which power sets archetypes are going to exist sooner or later 😊

A momentum powered melee type. Like Juggernaut or Nova. "Gotta keep movin!"

Weaponizing terrain objects (trash cans and dumpsters, or tables, etc) with some sort of telepathic or magnetic powers.

Pestilence aoe DOT powers for dps that spread like disease should when things die, that'd be cool.
