Ice Armor/SJ with Chilling Embrace as soft control is also very team friendly.

Currently playing a new, old-school blaster: Marxsman AR/Dev Note: he's not a communist, but Marksman was taken.
Also: A Fire/Fire Stalker playing old school with Placate. I know, not everyone's cup of tea, so what. His name is Enflambe'
Will eventually get Rock Largo the Ninja/Time MM and La Merle the Sonic/TacArrow blaster to 50, currently both at 45.

I keep playing it,warts and all. Only one character I retired after it got vet lvl 100. Respec'd to move all enhancements to base storage for alts. Planted him in Ouro to buy super inspirations for alts, he sometimes goes intertub swimming in the pool. He won the game.

No build here; I don't use mids either. I went cheap to build up my Fire tank, so this advice should be relevant. 6 slots in plasma shield and fire shield, with 4 Titanium Coatings and 2 Reactive Armors. Steadfast KB protection in Temperature Protection and a Blessing of the Zephyr KB Protection in CJ. I never took Phoenix Rising. Energy Mastery I took Focused Acc and Physical Perfection. I didn't take fighting pool, can't help you there. I supposed to run those extra toggles you'll have end issues so slot a Numinas Reg/Rec and a Miracle + Recovery in Health to help that, as well as a Performance Shifter + End in Stamina. Slot your SS powers with sets that add to your NRG resistance and Smashing Resistance.

I have one corruptor with Fold Space, but he is NRG/Traps. He sets a Trip Mine and a Poison Trap, Caltrops, then another Mine. Then Power Boost, Aim Fold Space, and Blammo, Explosion. Slivers of health are cleared with Energy knockback attacks.

I only have one alt that I feel can safely handle +4/8 solo all the time, and that is my Fire/Savage tanker. My other tankers are +3/8 most of the time.
2 controllers I usually run at +3/5, not because they cannot handle an 8 person spawn, but because the spawns are sometimes too close together and too much chance of chaos. I have an incarnate stalker that runs at +4/2. And a level 30 ish stalker that runs at +2/2. One incarnate dom runs at +3/3. All the rest of my blasters, corruptors, defenders run at +2/2 (no bosses). My incarnate MM's can run at +3/6. Or +4/4 if incarnate missions. I don't run many Brutes or Scrappers.
Although I could focus on min/maxing more to get more alts to handle +4 baddies, I don't really see a reason for it. How do you handle the solo difficulty settings? Do you only have fun when you have a real chance to faceplant? I play most alts with a self imposed restriction that if I die in this mission, I go back to the base and log out of that character, at least 24 hrs.

Energy Blast/ Traps Corruptor is a pretty Bad Combo. Not that you can't make it work solo, but teaming is quite hard. Especially with melee teammates. I have one, in my own personal SG called Bad Combinations. I love playing him, but 95% of the time he's solo working his craft. I have had to answer more than once why I don't use KB to KD in my blasts. But the KB is too important when soloing. When I run force field generator, that puts my ranged defense over 45%; therefore, I need to keep from getting punched in the face. Knock them back into ranged attacks. Throw caltrops, keep them away. It's fun but it's a lonely existance sometimes.

I have a thugs/empathy MM with pacify, provoke and unrelenting. The presence pool is really meant for a Mastermind. I bet an Illusion controller could use it as well to great effect.
-
I love SJ's bonus power because, with Parkour Stance, you do flips in mid air when you let off the space bar.

So, not really soloing then.Yeah, I used Phantom Army too...and Lore Pets, so I guess not as impressive and it could have been. But ..I didn't need any other real players, who would have helped had I asked. But I wanted to try to murder that big robot without aid. Success. Badge obtained. On to the next mission.

How I pulled this off with my Ill/TA controller:
Triggered the mission in Steel Canyon, while I was in the tech store near Posi and Valkirie. When I exited the store it was standing on the steps of the building across the street. I zipped right towards Ascendant chatting on his phone. He immediately started tanking the Titan GM. I went around the big statue and stood with Posi and Valkirie. They were not aggroed yet. I needed to pull the Titan towards them. I used my Phantom Army for that while debuff arrows were flying from my trusty TA arsenal. I eventually got both Posi and Valkirie interested. With all 3 NPC attacking along with PA, I was able to whittle down Kronos GM with debuffs and calling on my Lore pets. Got the Badge, and really pissed off Malta.

Carnies are confusion resistant, but Malta isn't.

I have a Rad/Water Blast Defender in the mid 40's that I love to solo with. From Rad I took the standard 3: LR, EF and RI. Did not take the Healing Aura. Did take Accelerate Metabolism. Also took Choking Cloud and EMPulse. Took all the secondary powers. Took all the Experimentation Power Pool, minus Speed of Sound, opting to fly instead. Took Stealth as well.
I turned off all green inspiration drops as a challenge opting to rest instead if I ever take damage. That allows more room for break frees in my tray, until I get to incarnate status you need them with a rad defender.
-
Don't they know we already know how to fly?

My two must haves are infiltration(slotted with a celerity:stealth) and combat TP. However since you are a dom and recharge is important, I'd think Hasten and then either CJ or Hover for a LotG+Rech.
-
I come here for info or sparks of inspiration. Someone may comment on how they slotted a certain power, that will get me looking into making that power more effective on one of my builds.
I shy away from argumentative posts or opinion sharing unless I feel it is positive.
I wish I was a better tester, but I am just not. I don't look at numbers, I play by feel. That's hard to quantify.

For a point of reference, I will say that slotting, for instance, a full set Superior Gauntleted Fist into your Whirling Hands would give 81.4% acc boost. I use this and Focused Acc from Energy Mastery. I use this tank for +4 content. My single target attacks are at least 75% boosted. I also use Resilient Core which adds a 20% to hit buff.
-
My fire/savage tank uses Diamagnetic Core as well as my Beam Rifle/Ninjitsu Sentinel. One is resistance based, one is defense based. I would think the resistance based tank would receive more benefit. My sent never seems to get hit by anything but what do I know? We cant see the numbers anyway. My interface choices are probably pretty arbitrary. I use gravitic on my ice tank AND my Ice stalker who both don't need help with slows. Is it doing anything at all for them? who knows?

What factions are your favorite to play against? What factions do you hate playing against? Which factions have the best lore? What about factions where the lore is lacking? What if any tweaks would you have for a faction group? What about interactions of faction groups with each other, ie. faction v. faction alignment? What do you think about various versions of the factions whether they are blue side, red, gold? Do you see a difference?
Malta-favorite with a tech or natural character. Carnies-favorite with a Controller or Dominator
Toughest Factions - Praetorian Family, Rogue Vanguard, Longbow
Need better lore. Rularuu
Something that hasn't been done yet, or I just haven't found yet in the AE. Praetorian Clockwork in the special Psy. Clockwork tower map, would be very challenging, depending on your power sets.

I usually bid in groups of 3 at the AH for reds and purples. So I always have access to filling my tray before heading into a tough mission, or replenishing after a tough mission.
For a difficulty challenge, I sometimes turn off green inspiration drops.
Dual inspirations don't impress me, I think they are a lark as they only give minimal boosts, and you can't combine them. Just don't unlock them at the P2W.
Team inspirations are great for masterminds. Always unlock them on your MM and use them.
