Option 14: Warshade
Was wondering what people would create first if/when CoH makes a return, as I started off as a Blaster, but ended up with my main being a Scrapper as had most fun with him.
DK/INV Scrapper for me. Tons of fun! :D
I'd recreate my Bots/Storm MM. He was one of my favorite characters.
It will be a Bow/Devices Blaster named Agent Bowman. In a green/grey stealth costume set with rocket boots as soon as I can find/buy them. <sigh> Be nice if we could import the ones we saved using Sentinal (umm I think that was the name of the program Titan had)
Fuegocito
My first and favorite alt was a Katanna/Super Reflex Scrapper. :)
My Arctic was an ice/ice blaster, I LOVED her! so much fun and I loved all the holds available and the little ice slick i could put down. /em mourn :(
Carrilion my Sonic/Ice blaster
I would have to remake my main/first character a fire/fire blaster :). This time I will make her the right way.
It would be a scrapper, but that would probably be dependent on what issue we started at. Probably my elec/shield. He was a lot of fun and could take on almost any/everything.
I would have to ressurect either my claw stalkers... or if we can have the paid powers, dual-pistols blaster.
I was really enjoying my Traps/AR Defender at the end. I could easily go for that first.
Gotta go with a blaster of some sort.
It will really depend on whether we can get our characters back or not. If not, the Dual Pistols/Mental Shadow's Ghost will make a triumphant return.
The first thing I'd probably do is remake my main, Triplash, a DM/Regen scrapper. Except this time I could use all those tips and tricks I learned from three and a half years of playing, that I didn't have the first time I leveled her. Y'know, handy little pointers like "turn your toggles on" and "don't die so much" ;D
Inv/SS Tanker of course. You don't mess with perfection.
Wow, this is a REALLY tough question!!
I think I would first spend about 3 hours reading and reviewing every permutation of archetypes and power sets possible. Then I would try something new.
Or maybe, I would try to re-create my favorite characters:
Arnold.Stallone, a cigar smoking blaster (guns/tech)
or
Sarah.Kerrigan, a thorns/super reflexes scrapper modeled after the Brood War antagonist.
Easy...
Grav/Dark Dominator
I voted for Blaster. If Water Blast/Martial Combat is a thing, I want to make Aquatikaiser, the waterbending mystical martial artist that was my current project when the game closed.
If I can't make him, but Ninja Run is available, perhaps I'd make his acrobat sister Kaiser Roll as a MA/SR scrapper or MA/nin-nin Stalker.
Since my global was a Beast/Dark MM, that's what I would start with. However, there would be a veritable crowd of others right on his heels, including all the ones I detailed here: http://www.cohtitan.com/forum/index.php/topic,9810.0.html (http://www.cohtitan.com/forum/index.php/topic,9810.0.html).
We have 41 votes so far :) With Blaster's out in front at present, guessing people are hoping that the i24 changes would be in affect.
Sure we have more people out there that haven't voted as yet, someone has to vote for the Arachnos :roll:

Even without the changes, Blaster was always my AT of choice. I'm not saying they were better then the others, I just really loved the glass cannon play strategy of figuring out what order to neutralize the enemies. And if there was more than one mezzer, swallow a purple and hope it lasts!
That's a tough question: I had two mains throughout the years:
1. my first character and probably my most fun to play: claws/sr/bm scrapper
2. my second and my global namesake, favorite main power: mind/kin/psi controller
Telekinesis is one of my favorite super powers and one that's underutilized on heroic male characters. I might look at other at's and other power sets that appeared after I created my mind controller. I might even switch to a mind dominator. Although I kept hearing that mind doms were superior to mind controllers, I could not bring myself to give up the awesome that was kinetics. The synergy of siphon speed and flight (or really siphon seed and anything), or transference with the telekinesis / repel combo. When I first made him I was on the fence about going mind/kin or mind/ff and ff was very thematically tempting as well as the built in defence and hold protection.
I suppose the only good answer is I'll find out when I get the chance to play again. I have a feeling if I have to remake them, then I'll make my mind/kin first. But if I still have my characters I'll first log into my claws/sr: it'd feel thematically fitting as he was my first, and I was really sad when I logged off him and had to say goodbye. My mind/kin was designed more like an alternate version of myself so in away, I feel like that character isn't gone because I'm still here fighting the good fight.
Mastermind as I would have to recreate "Liege Cheetatron X" my Bots/Traps/Mu/Void/Barrier/Reactive Mastermind
Next up would be recreating my Time/Sonic/Soul Defender who I never got to give Magic origin power pool powers to and never got to bring to iTrials
Then a DB/Will Scrapper or Brute I had both up to the 20s but could never decide which was more worth while(if we could ditch unwield/rewield I would go DB/Elec Scrapper)
I would likely make a Mind/Emp 'Troller Heroine, because Ruby Dawn was my first 50, so I'd recreate her, and her sisters, Cerise the Villain, and Rose, the Vigilante.
But there's a possible that I would roll Thing of Bigness again, the Scrapper, first, because *fun*. :) If I could make him work as a Tank, though, that'd be the thing I think.
Tough choice since there are so many good choices.
I would go with a Brute as first choice. Too many cool things you can pull off with one. Of course, that assumes its the game we played before the end i23. Now if its i24....then I might have to reconsider.
My namesake...created as a lark, with a nod to Julie brown's "Homecoming Queen's Got A Gun" for inspiration....followed immediately by my DM/FA brute, Dreadfyre Wraith.
If it was Issue 24... easy choice.. Remake my Rad/Fire Blaster.. total and complete destruction.. easily one of my most powerful creations which would have gotten MUCH MUCH better in Issue 24.. picking up a no crash nuke.. and healing that was always on ?? muahahahahahahahahaha
TW/SR Brute
Controller!
Empath secondary.
Primary? Depends on if I'm recreating Tubbius first (Plant Control) or Waddle the Penguin (Ice Control). :)
Gotta be a Scrapper, but would have a difficult time deciding which combination.
Martial Arts, Dual Blades or Street Justice / Willpower.
Or, maybe I'd try something brand new.
I'd re-create my main character, a Tanker with Electric Melee or Super Strength/Electric Armor.
For Issue 24 I would create my Kinetic Melee/Bio Armor Tanker.
Scrapper -- Dark Melee/Regen -- continuous fighting, never need heals, never need to rest. Add 3 slots on "sprint" for a speedster motif and use the VIP "Sands of Mu" to give TWO fast super-speed punch AOE attacks (along with Dark Melee's version).
My Main, Mister Bison, Dark/SR Brute, would return. Easiest to level, because mobs never touch you, and you continuously attack with dark punch/smite (eventually brawl), so it feels like you just punch all the time...
Ah, I miss the feeling of Smiting...
I would make a street justice, energy aura stalker. Nothing I have played comes close to the satisfaction of hitting someone in PVP with buildup, assassins strike, crushing uppercut, backed by incarnate damage. I have had many nasty things said to me in PVP about that combination but I consider "that needs to be nerfed!!!" a badge of honor. :D
