It wasn't a bad game per se, but that's the thing with MMOs either you can have fun teaming, or they better be good single player games.
It really isn't about builds and powers or even genre. At least to me.
The thing always was ... in Coh a lot of people want to team and for extended periods.
In Champions they team for like 10 min to kill a big boss.
In DC I never even found a team all the way to max level.
You can use combat jumping if you prefer and don't want to run sprint all the time.
I'm curious if you can slot it in combat teleport and trigger it that way. My mids is pretty dated and the new one doesn't want to install for me.
On just SO's Willpower is probably the best of those 3
Since a SR still needs a chunk of defense to soft cap and it has no other tools.
EA is a great set for IO builds though, since you can slot all sorts of goodies in the set, no need to wait on the fighting pool, etc.
I wouldn't say WP is over hyped, but it cn become a nail biter if you are taking alphas at 54×8 without some outside buffs. I guess that's where the self rez comes in.
A tanker using WP doesn't have that problem.
A brute does.
EA and SR are both can just leap in.
Of those 3 WP is the most set and forget. You just turn on you toggles and go. So you can just attack attack attack. But it's also the one of those 3 mostly to get you killed.
SR is great but the AOE progression kinda stinks on Scrapper. But it's mostly set and forget.
EA is easier to kill than SR, but usually you can't tell the difference. It has great clickies though, which you don't often need.
I think this is common
Stalker Stj doesn't get Combat Readiness combo level raised to 3.
Stalker claws can't run a 90% uptime damage and too hit buff.
Etc ...
