Sounds like my solo playstyle regardless if I'm on th countless tanks, numerous brutes, the two scraps, the four dominators, the 5 MMs, or the Peacebringer and carried over to CO playstle which seems to encourage that type of behavior solo. I like to be up close and personal to look them deep into their eyes and watch the terror in them rise to the surface as their life force is taken from them.
Hehe, yep me too
I had about one third scrappers, one third blasters, and one third other ATs. My control and buff types hover blasted, but the rest were all up close and personal.
Especially the blappers. My Assault Rifle had Devices, but all the rest took Energy Manipulation; it was the only secondary I liked. That set is all about getting up in your grill. (Oh wait, except for Fire/Fire. There are just certain combos I
had to have, regardless of how they played. Fire/Fire was one of those.)
Apart from the AR/Dev, I think the only time my blasters
weren't in melee range was for the opening round of shots. Snipe, tier 1 & 2 blasts, close in a bit and snap off the heavier "medium range" blast, then bounce up in their face and go "Bonesnap - Energy Punch" on 'em. I'm a street sweeper by choice, so it worked like a charm for my needs. I could pick and choose my enemy groups and there were no EBs to throw off the rhythm. I loved every minute of it.
