Thank you everyone. I read several websites and they didn't have Power Crash. I guess it was added later. After reading this, I checked the character builder and Power Crash was there.

I've read many times that MA is a weak powerset for Stalker. Most comments that I've read say that it is because they lose the AOE. I've also read that EM is one of the strongest powersets for Stalker, but it also loses its AOE. I assume that I'm missing something.

I've noticed that several people mentioned Scrappers, Stalkers and Tankers. Are they good for Brutes?

Which ATs are good or bad for using ATOs? From previous comments, I get the impression that melee ATs make excellent use of ATOs while ranged and defensive ATs don't use them as well.

TFs often lasted 5 hours or longer. This was very annoying. Sometimes a person would join a TF group, quit shortly after starting and then appear shortly before the end to get the badge. I hated these scumbags. There were certain mission lines which were needed to a badge. People often missed this, and later often a lot of infl for someone to invite him on that mission. I would make a toon, do the mission line and then wait for someone to offer the money.

Temporal has a toggle. Does Time have a toggle as well?

I made a DP Corr and Blaster. I clicked on the info tab of each dmg power. The Corr had higher dmg numbers. The best example was the Dual Wield power. I believe the Blaster listed it as Light, while the Corr listed it as Superior. The Blaster had 40 dmg while the Corr had 54 dmg. This was in a non-combat situation, and neither had any working enhancements. By that, I mean that the Corr had some, but they were too low level to be working.

I just played DP Blaster and Corr to lvl 19. Neither has enhancements, but the Corr has equal or greater dmg with each attack. My main reason for this post is that I'm trying to decide on a good secondary for my DP Corr. I want something with good debuffs.

Thank you for helping, and no, I haven't bought the ATO set yet. I've looked at it on the AH, but don't have a lot of time now. I will get it later.

Thanks. Do I need an Unslotter to add a Catalyst after the ATO has been slotted?

Thanks to all of you for your help. This may be a dumb question, but I thought that everything in the AH was put there by players. Are items such as Super Packs and ATOs put there by the admins?

Thank you for your advice. I was planning to get them from the vending machine in the main building in Atlas Park. Is there a difference between those ATOs and ATOs from other sources such as the AH? Also, how do you get Super Packs, besides the AH?

I've never used an ATO before, and since they are expensive, I don't want to mess it up when I buy one. First, I'm willing to listen to any advice that anyone wants to give. I've read that they can first be used at level 10. I've also heard that an Enhancement Catalyst can turn it purple. I assume that this is done using the same method in which Enhancement Converters are used. If turned purple, can it be used at level 10 or is a higher level needed?

I'm surprised that no one mentioned Katana. I've heard that it is awesome. I think that Kat/EA would make a great combo.

I've thought of making a DP/Sonic. I thought that it might be good because it can debuff. I've read some posts saying that it is not good, at least for defenders. Is it good for Corruptors?

In this case AOE stands for Archetype Origin Enhancements, which I believe are the same as ATOs

I believe that ATO and AOE are the same thing. Am I able to buy both Assassin's Mark and Stalker's Guile and should I buy both? Are there any best powers for slotting? The toon is StJ/AE but am considering StJ/SR because it is Natural Origin. If I change my mind about the powers, can I remove them by respec or other methods and transfer them to another toon by email or other method?

I remember it. In the early days of CoH, Storm Kick was a fast sequence of kicks. It looked good, but the animation was too long, so they changed it to what it is now. I doubt that the code is in the game now. It might be on a computer owned by one of the original devs or NCSoft, but I doubt that it is in HC's system. Anyway, as I said, the animation was too long. People often complained about that in the early days.

Thanks. That is an interesting story for Caillou. My toon is StJ/EA Natural Stalker This is her story: The daughter of a magician and a dancer, she learned the arts of magic, illusion, dance and acrobatics. One day, she went backstage and saw her parents with mob goons. She hid as she heard the goons say, "For many years we bought you expensive illusion equipment. We only asked that we use them to smuggle things. Now, you have refused your end of the bargain." Her father replied, "We can no longer do this in good conscience. We promise to pay you back and we won't go to the police. We only ask that you leave us alone." A goon responded, "You can never leave the mob, and there is only one way to guarantee your silence." The goons then shot her parents and left. She ran out of her hiding place and held her parents, only to see them die. She then swore revenge against the mobsters who killed her parents. She sneaked onto a plane and travelled the world, finding trainers of ancient Fighting Styles. She travels as a Magician's Assistant, finding new trainers and helping people as she can.

Thank you both for your replies. I've never heard of Caillou, so I googled it. I only found a Canadian Children's TV show, which had nothing to do with this. The link shown mostly portrays people who already were warriors and seeked revenge. It did mention Inigo Montoya, who was an excellent example of someone who trained in order to get revenge. I am mostly referring to a person who began as a regular person, but who was motivated by parents' death to train to fight and get revenge on evildoers.

A while back, I made a toon whose story was that the parents were killed by the mafia, and then found fighting trainers to later get revenge. Someone told me that this was Batman's story. Recently, someone else told me that this general story is older than Batman. I'm wondering if anyone knows of any similar stories. This can be from movies, novels, comics or anything else.

I had an StJ/SR Stalker and levelled it to 50. It felt weak playing it. It was difficult maintaining end, especially around drainers. I often lost my toggles because of end. Even with Stamina and Phys Perf 3 slotted with end mod, I still lost all my end around drainers. I definitely got hit as well, and definitely used my greens. Some people gave advice for maintaining end, such as end red enh. This helped and I lasted a lot longer, but drainers still hurt. I used SR because the toon had Natural Origin. Out of curiosity, I tried EA and tried to make it as subtle as possible. I thought it was awesome. The protection was good. When my end got low, I used End Drain and when I got hurt, I used Energize. I rarely ran out of end, unless I forgot to pay attention. I made two StJ/EA toons. One had a red costume and had a bright effect with red color, and the other had a black costume with a bright effect and almost black color. Both EAs were visible, but not massively obvious. I conclude from this experience that EA is awesome!

This is an excellent comment. I don't go into super planning for my builds. I just figure it out as I go along. For this reason, a Tanker might be better for me.

Are there any ATs that are especially good for Ice/Ice? Are any of the melee ATs or Blaster better than others?

I'm trying to decide between StJ/SR and StJ/EA.
