So I’ve managed to reach an entire screen worth of folk to have dinged 50 in Homecoming \/ City of Heroes, and I should probably share …<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Blood Charade<\/strong> – Sentinel (Dual Pistols \/ Ninjitsu) – Modeled after a table-top RPG character of mine. I love the animation on DP.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Spangled Star<\/strong> – Sentinel (Energy Blast \/ Willpower) – First (but not last) hero I did who largely permahovers, to help early on with the EB knockback. Fun toon.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Prince Shenanigans<\/strong> – Controller (Illusion \/ Time) – My “Loki” character. Illusion Control is always a blast, though 1-person confuse has become passe with other mass confuse powers.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Al McGordo<\/strong> – Sentinel (Rad \/ Rad) – I tried variations on this character a dozen times on Live, but the power combo is perfect for the Sentinel type. Also my favorite name.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Touched by Frost<\/strong> – Sentinel (Ice \/ Energy) – I do try to add some diversity to my characters. Also, I love the slow effects of Ice.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Milady Zebra<\/strong> – Scrapper (Martial Arts \/ Regen) – A rebuild of one of my favorite Live characters, and the only one I went to the effort to use Superspeed on. The MA moves look great with hooves.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Demimondelle<\/strong> – Blaster (Dark \/ Time) – I ran this half-ghost pretty continuously 1-50, and it was the first time I’d enjoyed Dark Blast. Another permahover character.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Player.One<\/strong> – Corruptor (Dual Pistols \/ Kinetics) – He thinks he’s playing the most awesome FPS ever, which makes for fun dialog with folk. One of the few Corruptors I’ve run, because it’s crazy management.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Hunter with No Name<\/strong> – Sentinel (Beam Rifle \/ Bio Armor) – My Mandalorian toon. Beam Rifle is a weird set, a ranged set that kinda requires multiple applications, making him less useful except against bosses.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Miss Crackle<\/strong> – Sentinel (Electrical \/ Electrical) – A toon I ran on Live as a (less successful) blaster. She’s actually really short, but hovering helps a lot.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Torchielle<\/strong> – Blaster (Fire \/ Energy Manip) – Another “transfer” from Live, and, like the one there, 50ed duoing with Margie’s Hildegard (Fire Tank). Fire is soooo much fun; I have some variants of her as other toons.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

So, yeah, that’s a LOT of Sentinels. There are a few reasons for that:<\/p>\n
