Now that Mids has been updated, I can finally post all the missing build links since Episode 13.
Also had to update all the older links as they didn't seem to function in the new version.
Anyway, enjoy!

Thanks, Janus is one of my favorites. That was before the costume feature was added that would allow asymmetrical options for all sorts of things. But I like the classics!

Hello, all!
Like many of you, I have a lot of alts. And over these last few years, I've gotten dozens of them to Level 50. All kinds of archetypes and builds. So I decided to have some fun and put together a showcase of fifty of my level 50s over the course of fifty days of playing.
I went through my list of characters and picked out 5 from each of the major ATs that I play and that present a unique or interesting combo (IMHO):
- 5 Blasters
- 5 Brutes
- 5 Controllers
- 5 Corruptors
- 5 Defenders
- 5 Dominators
- 5 Masterminds
- 5 Sentinels
- 5 Tankers
- 5 Miscellaneous (VEATS, HEATS maybe)
No, I didn't forget Scrappers and Stalkers. I don't have any as I don't like their playstyle. Sorry!
Anyway, I'm going to record videos of each of them starting with the concept, followed by the Mids build, then some solo play, and finally some team play. I'll provide my commentary and suggestions throughout. Most of the builds will have a theme or quirk. I don't typically focus on capped Defense or Recharge that a lot of forum builds show. Instead, I put together what I consider to be a fun and focused build that does one or two things really well. They're often experimental and answer the question, "What if?" I try to push the envelope and hopefully give you all something to consider putting together yourself. I think you'll find many of the builds are relatively inexpensive and just about anyone can afford. Of course they're not perfect and I'm sure you can think of improvements and tweaks you'd make or could suggest for me.
So if you're interested in catching a glimpse of my character design process, or want to see how a specific combo works in actual play, or are just looking for some unique builds to try for yourself I invite you to check my YT vids linked below (I'll update as I go). Feel free to share your thoughts below with the caveat that I am not pretending that my builds are the best and only ways to do a combo or that they are the most efficient way to put them together.
Blasters 01) Prometheus - Dark / Dark / Soul

This seems like a fun concept and build. Do you have a revised build? I can't load this one into the current version of MIDS but I'll definitely use it as a basis for my own!
Sorry for the delay. Here's the version of the build in the new Mids format. Should be compatible for you.

Built as a dark farmer, Se'khmet has grown into a ferocious beast in all content. I use her extensively to work my negative damage farm, Dark Side Circus (Arc ID 29558), but have broken her out of AE to run some mundane missions in recent days.
As a negative damage farmer, she has extensive amounts of +ACC, +To HIt, and to hit debuff resistance. As a dark armor running 12 toggles, she's also built with massive amounts of End redux and recovery. She needs to be highly mobile so she can reposition mid-combat to leverage her multiple short range cones against as many foes as possible. But these things do not hamstring her as you can see in the recordings of some level 54 missions and a farm snippet below:
Se'Khmet vs 54 Voids
vs 54 Crey
vs 54 Nemesis
54 CoT
Negative Damage Farm
And here's her build for anyone that's interested in looking under the hood:

Combining the power of gravity with the pounding fury of brutal earth assault, I present Miranda, my Level 50 Grav / Earth / Primal permadom. This build has so much ground pounding control it should be illegal. It's the perfect fusion of ranged domination and melee brutality.
Here she is in a kill-most LRSF the other day unloading point-blank thumps on multiple level 54 Heroes:

Yeah, I chuck that up with my symp / fire / leviathan. Gonna go that route with the new one, too. Force of Will pool has Wall of Force on top of all that.
-
Rolled up a symphony / electric build to compare with. Have an idea about stun stacking with the energy manipulator procs.
-
Let me tell ya, I AM tempted to permadom this dragon. I can definitely imagine what you're talking about. Was keeping this one on the cheap just to monkey with the concept, but it might be worth the investment of some purple sets at some point. Right now, she's really good on teams where I have other targets drawing fire. Otherwise, solo, she takes a beating. Which is it's own kind of fun.
-
Made a couple more vids from some Level 43 radio missions.
I have pretty much no defense, so the build is kill or be killed.

- While Distortion Field accepts hold enhancements, slotting a full set of Overpowering Presence is a waste of slots. The power is primarily a slow and the hold only has a 2% chance to occur. Plus the power is auto-hit and doesn't require accuracy. Unless you're slotting damage procs, Distortion Field doesn't require more than 1-2 slots (I slot 1 slow IO and 1 recharge IO).
- Slot Gravity Distortion Field with Unbreakable Constraint or move Will of the Controller to Gravity Distortion Field and slot Wormhole with Absolute Amazement.
- You want KB>KD in Wormhole and Propel.
- Slot the Expedient Reinforcement +res unique.
- Not sure why you've got Tough, but I would slot it with the two +def uniques and use as a mule.
- Vigor is a poor choice for your Alpha. Intuition Radial would serve you better.
- Support Radial is a better choice than Support Core. Singularity is the only pet that would benefit from the doubled values while you and your team would receive a smaller buff.
Thanks for your concerns with the build. As a master of time and space, Bhootakash doesn't seem to have any issues soloing standard 54 x8 missions as you can see in the video linked below. She says she'll stick with her current powers and abilities, but will keep your suggestions in mind should something come up.

Not critizing, or saying you're wrong, as everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I have to ask something.
Could most of this not be addressed as Origin, or theme/concept?
Example, I have an Em Scrapper that's mutation allows him to rechannel the energy that he absorbs from his surroundings and converts it to negative energy (Anti-matter) that begins breaking things down on an atomic level, which he uses to protect himself and attack others.
Arcane could be any blast set with a Magic origin. Add Sorcery pool for additional flavor.
Lava could be Water blast recolored orangish, brownish, or redish, add the incarnate that gives fire damage proc to attacks. Or just Fire Blast
Plasma Blast, super heated plasma: Fire, or Energy Blast. Due to the rapid heating at second of impact, it causes a an explosion, knocking them back, while also setting them on fire.
Force, Energy Blast, slot a Forced Feedback +Rech.
It's the secondary effects that matter more than what you can color something.

Put together a build to maximize the amount of cones with a ranged position dominator:
Symphony Control = 4 cones
Fire Assault = 1 cone
Leviathan PPP = 1 cone
Force of Will = 1 cone
Idea is to just spray cones at groups of enemies and stacking oodles of soft control from range.
Here are some sample vids from a Manticore TF I ran with Opal Dragyn from the other day to see how the concept works in the 30s. We were doing a 'kill most' taskforce run vs +2s most of the time. Only deaths I suffered were from the countess, which were not the fault of the build or powersets, but bad positioning in the first death (7a) and then getting range ganked by her on the second (7b).
Here are links to the complete series of vids if you want to check it out in action:
Manti TF Pt 1And if anyone is curious about the current build, it looks like this (not going for permadom, just range and soft control):

Fifty-Fifty Showcase

Thanks for the looks. I spend a good deal of time on costumes when I make a new character. I'm no pro at it, but I like unique looks and try to tie them in with the character's theme. Luckily this game's costume creator is unmatched still even after all these years.
And the screenshots probably are the hardest part of this whole series - getting the right angle, some sort of action pose, moving the camera, editing the pic. The screenies aren't are good as the real things, but they get the idea across for what the character looks like.
Spore King is a hodge-podge of parts from different sets with a lot of the fire/ice elemental pieces. Included a lot of asynchronous pairings. It's hard to make a mushroom looking guy, so I went with this amorphous combo that suggests different types of fungi all fused together.
