Every toon of mine starts in Mids so I have a plan right from the start. That being said, plans change and sometimes adjustments are needed. I remember not too long ago I was making something (Ice controller I think) with "World of Confusion" in the epic pool. Stacking Artic Air with WoC was the whole reason I started the toon but by the time I got up to epic pool level it was apparent that it was not going to be as beneficial as I was hoping and had to change gears. Best laid plans and all that...

Dark is such an amazing secondary! It can really turn any troller into a tank with softcapped defense and hardcapped s/l resistance. I've decided to try every primary with dark, I only have 3 and a half left (half cuz I'm currently leveling an earth/dark) Plant will be the more traditional lock em down troller set while illusion will be more of an elegant chaos build. Both would be a blast and also very safe and effective builds. I'd give the edge to Illusion for its ability to take down hard targets solo. Even when an AV has their immunity phase where you can't get any holds or stuns off, your Phantom Army is still there taking all those punches for you and laughing! Build em both! Or choose one and then pair the other primary with Storm! They both go great with Storm too and that really kicks up the damage quite a bit! You can't make a bad choice!

Electric control is functional but unimpressive. I have an elec/cold troller that gets very little playtime. It's niche (-end) is cool in theory but it doesn't seem super effective in practice. I seem to have stumbled down a path of pairing every troller primary with the dark secondary, I'm only missing 4 primaries and electric is one of them, can't say I'm super excited to run that one up but maybe it'll surprise me. At least all the -to hit in Dark should help the gremlins stay alive a little longer. Maybe....I dunno...they're very fragile.... Way back on live... you could put the contagious confusion proc in the chain and it worked great to spread confusion but that was removed. I never understood why, it was never better than seeds or total domination and it really helped the set but you know how it goes...

Speaking for myself: If Badge = Incentive Then Incentive = 0

That looks good! I don't love no damage on the immob but it's a fair tradeoff for the utility. I'd play that set, ship it!

My order: Stalker Scrapper Tank Brute Scrapper is probably my favorite but I think my Stalker outpaces him. Bottom line, you can't make a bad choice here!

The new costume parts are great! The heads are fun but any chance of more color customization on the eyeball heads? It seems like the only change you can make is to the iris. I'd like to make a big red eye with a yellow iris! The Sybil Costume may be the highlight of the whole page! Love it! The front skirt part does kinda hang at an odd angle when moving, not a huge deal but worth mentioning.

They do indeed and I certainly appreciate that, however it's extremely rare that they change the fundamental effect of the power. For example we don't see them change a blast to melee or change a buff into a debuff or a sleep to an immobilize. If the set goes live with no AoE immob, it will never receive one. You've made your position clear, you don't want an AoE immob. I respect you opinion but to my eye, the set is begging for an immob and it seems the majority in here agree with that sentiment.

The problem is that once the set enters the game it will never be fundamentally changed. This set is not done baking and needs to go back in the oven and if that means it doesn't come out in this page, so be it. I'd happily wait a page for an improved set rather than having to deal with this set as it is now for the rest the games lifespan.

When I initially built mine, I just played it normally into the 30s on SO's. Somewhere around mid 30s it was able to basically farm itself up. Obviously not at +4 x8 but maybe start at +0 x4. Eat inspirations like they're going out of style to make up for anything thats lacking and get the base buffs, I still pound F1 and F2 like crazy when farming! As Sovera says you can also just level up via normal teaming and stuff too, though in that case I'd probably gear it more toward smashing/lethal def/resist and swap once you're max level. Sovera also make an extremely good point about making it on a second account. That's top notch advise!! Also just to avoid any confusion, it's the farming builds that aren't good for standard content, Rad/Fire brutes in general are just fine for all content when built accordingly.

I'm also assuming this is for a farmer, these builds are not great for standard content. I'll never get a better return on investment than this cheap farmer build! Before I finally upgraded, this build got me 670ish vet lvls, many billions of inf, many hundreds or maybe even thousands of purples and tons of power leveling. It is absolutely not the best farmer build but it'll do what you need for a pittance of an investment and boy did it serve me well! I really like Helens approach of evolving the build but I went a different route and my upgraded version has little to nothing in common with the cheap version. The upgrade version is a slightly tweaked version of a build I found on here, I'm afraid I don't remember who to credit for it. I use AE farm 54290. Hope that helps and sorry if you were just looking for a standard content build. Brute Rad Fire Brute not Cheap Atomic SF v2.mbd Brute Rad Fire Brute Cheap Atomic SF.mbd

Okay, I gotcha! It's an interesting concept. Sorry for jumping to conclusions, I see the letters "PVP" and go red!

If you're suggesting that end game content should require participation in any amount of PVP then I could not possibly disagree more! As it stands PVP can be ignored at all levels with no detriment to my character, that should remain the standard. No PVP in my PVE please.

Huh, that's a very good point! All the more reason for these stats to finally be updated!

My puniest toon name is probably: NP Seymour but honorable mention to: Sir Kit Breaker Bernjamin Tanklin Scorched Eartha Double Ohm 7 Miss Konstrew Names are fun! I often come up with a name and then build a toon to fit the name.
