Not sure if 'Blapper' is the right term but "garsh, it is just so unfair that those brutes and tanks get to jump into hordes of dudes and light themselves on fire. And aiming is so hard; I want to light myself on fire!" just sounds silly and fun to me. I assume X/Fire is gonna win because Burn + Hot Feet + "It's FIRE" but I wasn't sure if Electrical or Fire was going to be more PBAOE focused/capable. Any advice would be greatly appreciated ^_^

Was making this character and noticed that Psionic Darts is not available at level 1, it is the 4th one down. Dominate Will and Mental Blast are the starting choices. I am pretty darn new, what am I missing?

There are no silly questions when they are asked in good faith! 🙂 As Uun mentioned, the Playstyle tab is 100% meaningless. It is the only tab that you can skip without the game prompting you to go back and finish during character finalization; it is just there to guide you depending what role you want to do. Click on Melee Damage and it will suggest Scrapper. Pets and it will suggest Mastermind, etc. Controllers are pretty fun, they have a lot of tricks at their disposal. If you are torn between doing Support or Crowd Control, might I suggest Kinetics or Time as a secondary? They are both loaded with abilities that will buff you and your friends and greatly debuff the enemy.

Thanks for the info! I think I am going to go Storm; did a little bit of reading after the first wave of advice an I like the idea of an immortal army holding the baddies in an area while 3 tornadoes, a hurricane and a blizzard pummel them into submission. "Officer, I swear they were frozen solid BEFORE I made my citizen' arrest!" Now just to figure out who the heck to build the thing as I level. I'll probably utilize, uh, Advanced Efficiency to get to early 20's to unlock most of the kit but still have enough to discover.

Dear old dad and I were in the beta. The firstest first character we ever played was an Illusion Controller. Figured I would try one out again. What are some of the good secondaries with Illusion? Hope y'all are doing well 🙂
