Mine was Water Blast, Primary for Blasters and Corruptors.
I had a toon set up to look like Katara from the Avatar series.

Water-blast as my favorite too.
fire, electric, water and energy powersets were my favs.
my lvl50 tank was electric/electric. one of the only toons i played alot. spent hours playing that toon
Mind (controller primary, yay for TK!)
My faves were my mind/kin controller and my claws/sr scrapper. I was always going a mile a minute while playing them to keep up with everything they could do. So much fun!
Honorably mentions go to my peacebringer, my willpower/kinetic melee tank, my bot/ff mastermind, and my zombie/dark mastermind
I enjoyed the following;
- Fire Melee - Shield Defense
- Energy Blast - Energy Manipulation
- War Mace - Willpower
I loved my plant/fire dom. Hold'em and burn'em! Great fun! :)
The most fun for me was Energy/Energy blaster. Not great for teams, but my main (pre-incarnate) could easily solo bosses - and the occasional Elite Boss (as long as they didn't spam holds).
Fire/Fire tank was also a lot of fun. I was able to solo Mot just once, with a tray full of big orange skittles :)
my favourite individual power set was Dual-Claws. It offered for me at least, a large amount of alpha strike, debuff, and combo building so that I could take a scrapper, yet play them as a tanker to an extent counting on the group and area attacks to disable and then draw groups of opponnets to me.
Illusion
Good ol' Assault Rifle. Maybe it's not superhero enough for some, but, for me, nothing beats sending munitions downrange. And, with a stack of 16 Trip Mines and Sniper Rifle, I had fun soloing Elite Bosses.
for scrappers my fav. was kat/wp. for trollers is was grav/rad.
Secondary is easy: /Ninjitsu. With that set (and some time spent mastering it), you could turn a Stalker into a viable "stick around and scrap it out" character, not a one trick pony with Assassin Strike. Several useful aggro management tools, a superb self-heal, a solid Tier 9, and some "get the hell out of Dodge" stuff. Solo an AV? Yep, multiple times with my Elec/Nin (well...with all T4 Incarnates and an enhancement page that was a "sea of purple"...probably a 2 billion Inf build, at least).
Primary is so hard to call. I adored my Willpower tanker...a sentimental favorite and pretty darn effective. Illusion Mastery was one I was late to (I didn't get into controllers until about three, maybe four years from the end...and I played from just barely after launch), but it was godlike at times. And everything about Darkness Mastery was win...I was a D3 specialist.
And now I'm depressed. I miss this game so much.
Deceive on my Illusionist. Slotted for duration, accuracy and range everyone can be my pet.
Trolls lieutenant punching the barrel of explosives killing all the minions never gets old. Neither is getting two lieutenants beating each other senseless.
I had several powers that I played a lot but if I had to choose just one it would be the primary set for Fire Blaster.
Brilliant fun :)
Human-form Peacebringer.
Be Well!
Fireheart
Had a whole lot of fun with /Traps. Not great for speed TF runs but trip mine was sweet.
Robots/FF was one I thought I'd have a hard time topping. The first time my Assault Bot launched a spread of incendiary missiles into my enemies, I thought I was going to weep tears of joy.
But then I made a Street Fighting Brute. That was just...I couldn't actually see enemies spit teeth, but I knew they were. :)
Wow, peacebringers... When they came out I was wondering why everyone wanted peanut butter on their team.

this made me chuckle... too much
I could never name a favorite power.. there were far too many.. and there were more to come !!!!
My favorite power in the game was Altitis! :P
So many interesting power combos to play with, and I had planned so many more.
Missing my Home Away from Home more every day.
Things I really enjoyed
Energy/Energy Blaster.. he had Damage/Range Centrioles in almost every attack.. That combined with Boost range made for a very very long distance blaster.. throw in the -KB proc in Explosive Blast.. fun fun fun..
Electric/Electric Blaster.. The Blaptroller.. Blast.. covered.. Melee attacks... covered.. Debuffing endurance. covered.. Need to lock something down.. Three single target holds.. covered..
SuperStrength/Energy Aura Brute.. a beast of a Brute.. a combo that turned out much better than expected
Fire/Psi Dominator.. Loved it from the moment I played it..started my love for dominators.. speaking of which
Earth/Fire Dominator... Lock em down..Burn em Down..
Ice/Thorn Dominator.. made many a spine scrapper jealous..
Illusion/Dark Controller.. probably my best controller ever.. Phantasm, Phantom Army. Spectral Terror AND Dark Servant..
Grav/Time Controller also very good
All Human PB
Shield/Fire Tank.. Shield Charge and Fire Sword Circle just rule...
Elec/Shield Brute.. having Spring Attack. Shield Charge and Lightning rod seems kinda unfair.. then add Vorpal Judgement attack.. and its REALLY unfair..
and my favorite
Rad/Fire Blaster.. the build made him a PbAoE monster.. the amount of damage he could cause was just ridiculous...
but one of my favorite things I found in the game I found by accident
Shield/SS tank I changed the animation on KO Blow to the double fisted animation.. with the shield up it looks like you are bashing them with the shield.. which was just AWESOME...
