Psi blade sweep, greater psi blade and mass levitate are the essentails.
Boggle is only good if you slot the proc from coercive persuasion to give it the chance of being an aoe.
Mass levitate's damage is dissapointing but if you get the recharge down its worth the pick.
Npc costume pieces. I already have a costume ready via npc mode and its ready to go!
Oh and real Clockwork incarnate pets. Not that silly preatorian stuff.
Shield/Energy. Aside from EM being terrible back then the one thing that killed it for me? The energy clipping through the shield. It was so damn ugly. Drove my ocd mad! Worse still if I used my blue shield my red EM would come out pink. There goes my patriotic colour scheme! I got my dream secondary in Psionic so this is no longer an issue. Really should have gone electric. Always regretted that I didn't.
Bloody Weather (Ice/Storm). She has red (or where that's impossible, redish) powers.
I had others on live that were not that good, except for Pandamonium. A super strength panda.
I've loved CoH tanks since I started and psionic melee feels like it was designed just for me, right down to including my favourite status effect (confuse). Already loved shield for years so that combo became my new main.
The first 10ish levels are key for me. If the first few powers dont grab me and over that length of time the descriptions of future powers don't, bye, bye alt. I'm fickle like that. Not many alts survived.
I grabbed my new mains name first, then I remade my old villain and hero mains. After that I remade all the old alts that actually survived past level 10ish. That feeling when you see them again. Its like an old friend returning.
I don't see why not. We have to be the errand boys of contacts and play 2nd fiddle to the famous heroes in our own game despite doing all the heroics.. We should get the cool stuff for once and stand out.
Back when I was a noob tank I caused a team wipe. Respec mission, surrounded by purples. We were fighting one group of Skyraiders then I foolishly taunted a second group. I ran and survived (hooray for heroism!). Luckily the team didn't realise it was my fault. I never did that again.
