Hello there, I am new to Homecoming and City of Heroes in general; though I have played MMOs casually in the past. I am excited to dive into this game; but I could use some guidance on picking an archetype that suits my playstyle. I mostly enjoy playing solo; though I wouldn’t mind teaming up every now and then. I am looking for something that is fairly beginner friendly, does not require too much micromanagement, and can handle a variety of content without relying too heavily on others. I am not necessarily aiming for the most powerful or optimized build just something fun and versatile to help me explore the game at my own pace. From what I have read so far; it sounds like Brutes, Scrappers, or even Masterminds might be good choices for solo play; but I would love to hear your thoughts. Are there specific powersets within those archetypes that shine for solo players? Or is there another archetype I should be considering that I may have overlooked? Also, I have gone through this post; https://forums.homecomingservers.com/topic/33941-need-at-suggestions-for-my-devops-style-of-play/ which definitely helped me out a lot. Also; how important is it to plan a build early on? Should I be worried about gimping myself if I just pick what looks fun in the character creator, or is it fairly easy to fix mistakes later down the line? Thanks in advance for your help and assistance.
