I think the characters pick us at least in some way. I played a Kat/nin scrapper through Praetoria semi recently and really loved it. I did not expect this since I typically like damage and AoE, and while katana isn't horrible for either, it's not amazing either. The DA is super useful, and Soaring Dragon and Golden Dragonfly are just super awesome attacks. I put the crit ATO in Soaring Dragon, and I usually start things out with combat TP, crit from "hide" with Soaring Dragon, and hopefully crit Golden Dragonfly on some poor sucker right after that. I did another Praetoria run with DB instead next (on a stalker this time though) and I just felt nothing for the set. Sweeping Strikes was the only attack I really loved the feel/crunch of. The only attack I liked after that was AS. Going into this, I was thinking DB would be the one I'd like more. I just don't get it. The Kat/Nin is easily one of my favorite to play period, even though it is far from my strongest character.
