I’ve started posting the current stable/cast of characters for myself and Margie off in the sidebar. I’ll update them (and their levels) periodically.
I’m vaguely worried that I’m not focusing enough on one (or maybe two) characters to keep pace with others, and that eventually folks will bypass me and go off together into the rarefied climes of the 20s and 30s and 40s while I plunk along with a variety of alts.
On the other hand …
- I enjoy all the various people I have here, Velvet, PS, Torchielle, and Honeygun, as well as the others, each have a different feel to them. It keeps the game fresh.
- As long as I have someone to run with Margie, I’m happy. Our biggest problem is, when teaming, finding a good Crunchy/Squishy pair, since both of us tend toward the latter to the former.
Anyway, there you go.
Yer a regular Mutie-lover, aintcha, Dave? Fully half your stable is of the Mutant persuasion. Any particular reason?
I see a tendency to favor Blasters, too. In fact, you have two Mutant Blasters. (I don’t think that the Awesome Avocet has met Snipehunter yet, but he did have some fun in Perez Park with Torchielle Friday.)
Margie seems to be more balanced with regard to origin, but has more Scrappers than anything else. Significant?
For what it’s worth, I have a Magic Blaster and a Scientific Scrapper (you must meet Power Fists some day). The former is certainly my favorite. I can’t get used to wading right into the fray with my Scrapper; it just feels wrong after so many hours of playing a Blaster.
Chalk it up to reading too many X-comics as a youth.
On the other hand, mutant origin tends, along with “natural,” to get the broadest variety of missions, from what I understand.
You may find that you don’t have to worry too much about teaming squishy/squishy, in the long run, assuming it’s a good pairing; Jackie and routinely team up and run scads of missions with Shock.Therapy (Emp/Elec Defender) and Hang Time (Eng/Eng Blaster), and I’m equally successful teamed up with Hushman (FF/Dark Defender).
Having a tank is nice, to be sure, but it’s rare enough (at these rarefied levels, as you say) that you find ways to work around it.
Good to know. I just know that I like to have someone on the front line drawing aggro while someone sits back and blasts the snot out of opportune targets. At least at the
Yeah. In those examples above, the front-line guy is me (a blaster who, not by coincidence, earned the “500,000 points of damage sustained” badge by about level 25). 🙂
Heh. Hey, Velvet got the “Tough” (100K dmg) Badge at 14 … but, then, she’s expected to take damage, right?
Given the choice, of course, you’d expect the blaster in front, the healer behind … 🙂
