Thanks for the tip. Opted for Super Reflexes, just because. Now comes the long road of figuring everything else out.

Tried the server a while back and spent most of my time in the costume creator. With all the hype surrounding the new license, it dragged me back. I've never really "built" a character. I'm actually quite garbage at figuring out game systems. I played a Martial Arts/Willpower Scrapper on live and manged to make it to cap. I'm sure the character was poorly kitted out, and slotted in garbage, but I did it. This time around, I've opted for the new Scrapper, now with range! I have no idea how my AT special feature works, but the beam rifle goes pew, so there's that. I'm looking at the "passive" powers for my second set. Either Invulnerability, Super Reflexes, or Willpower. It was nice to hear that Beam Rifle is one of the better sets. Totally not intentional, but I'll take it. I just want to be a Little Green Army Man [Get it?] and pew my way to victory!

Getting back into this game, I was just about to ask a similar question. Great thread! Going to give Sentinel a try. It seems to be a counterintuitive mix of power sets, but at least it will be harder to die!

This is an excellent write up, thank you!

TL:DR in Bold at Bottom I played this game from 2007-2012ish and I remember it fondly as one of my favorite games. I could never stick with the other games my friends were playing. WoW wasn't "bad," but I was I wanted to do more group content, and outside of dungeons, never happened, and I never really wanted to level. I loved the design of CoH. Grouping happen a lot more. Doors removed some of the dull over world questing. Was it perfect, no. Was it more fun for me, yes. I was actually drawn into the game because a friend of my Dad played it with his family. Dad said they were like the Incredibles. We grabbed the games made our duo, and we were off. Neither of us knew anything about builds, but we had a blast together. I was a Scrapper, he was a blaster. I'm glad to see it's. back, but just like then, I have no idea what I'm doing. I want to make a few toons and just chill out and do arcs, without dragging others down. In the past that was */Willpower, with no idea how to slot anything. I'm trying to convince some friends (and my dad again) to come back with me. With all that said, what are some good starting points for someone who has never really been able to come to grips with building characters in MMOs, like, ever? I'm really clueless when it comes to that. Probably because my brain is broken, and I mean that. Bonus points if the build reduces key binds and is forgiving when it comes to slow reflexes.
