So I was playing one of my new toons, a defender as a blaster, or an "Offender" as Ron likes to call them. And I was thinking I'd like to try a new specialty toon build. I've done the usual suspects, scranker, blapper, offender (i like that designation), etc. I've done the more single oriented toons, i.e. pure healer, rad/rad debuffer, etc. and I wanted to do something new that is a special, directed design. An AT geared to another area, al la blapper, or single oriented AT, like healer, sniper, etc. Anyone got any ideas? Someone throw me something. Anyone got a list of all the specialty toons others have thought up?

Well, I don't really have any ideas. You already mentioned everything that came to my mind.

I tend to think of my level 50 Mind/FF Controller, Xenith, as a 'contrapster.' In other words, he controls, he scraps, and he blasts. He's probably my favorite character to play since he can do a little bit of everything (except heal). From the FF pool, I didn't want to build a bubbler so I only took PFF, dispersion bubble, repulsion bomb and force bubble. Taking advantage of containment, he has air superiority and kick for some scrapability (along with sands of Mu). He has tough from the fighting pool for some damage resistance, to go along with the defense from dispersion bubble. I took the complete psi mastery epic pool for him to get the mez protection, more damage resistance, and a couple of blasts. Anyway, I'm sure you could apply the idea to any controller type, if that interests you.

When I get home later I'll post his whole build (I'm on another PC right now). The damage isn't bad on the power pool attacks if you hit them with a hold first to get double damage. Air Sup is particularly useful, in combination with levitate, for keeping them off balance. Kick is good too because the occasional knockback seems to happen alot when you need it.
I think the key to this is to build it as if you are building to solo, i.e., slot for damage, not just in the melee attacks but in the holds as well.

Ok, sorry I don't remember what I did at each level, but here are his powers with slotting. I did over-slot a few powers like stamina. I know that might be heresy but hey, it works for me.
At any given time he will be running four toggles (dispersion bubble, tough, CJ, and mind over body), so some end reduction was necessary. I should note that I did have acrobatics but respecced out when I discovered the KB protection IOs. You'll note also that I have no hold enhancements. Like I said, I built him to solo so I wanted to get the most damage I could. He works fine in teams as well.
Mind Control
Mesmerize - 1 acc, 2 dmg
Levitate - 1 acc, 3 dmg, 1 end reduc
Dominate - 1 IO acc, 3 dmg, 1 end reduc
Confuse 2 acc, 2 recharge, 1 confusion
Total Domination 2 acc, 3 rechg
Terrify 1 acc, 3 dmg, 1 rechg, 1 nucleolus exposure (dmg/acc)
Telekinesis 1 end reduc, 1 rechg
FF
Personal Force Field 3 defense
Dispersion Bubble 4 defense, 1 end reduc
Repulsion Bomb 1 acc
Force Bubble 2 end reduc
Fitness
Hurdle 1 jump
Health 4 heal
Stamina 5 end mod
Flight
Hover 3 flight spd
Air Superiority 1 acc, 3 dmg
Flight 4 flight spd
Leaping
Combat Jumping 1 end reduc, 1 defense, 1 IO Karma: kb protection
Fighting
Kick 1 acc, 3 dmg
Tough 1 IO end reduc, 2 dmg res, 1 Io Steadfast Protection: kb protection
Psionic Mastery
Indomitable Will 3 recharge, 1 end reduc
Mind over Body 2 end reduc, 3 dmg res
Mental Blast 1 acc, 3 dmg
Psionic Tornado 1 acc, 3 dmg
Some basic combinations:
single target: mesmerize - dominate(dbl dmg) - AS (dbl dmg) - levitate (dbl dmg) - mesmerize - kick
(the AS-levitate combo is especially fun).
AOE: total domination - terrify(dbl dmg) - psi tornado (dbl dmg). Pick off the rest with single target holds, mental blasts and melee if you want.
I know concept characters like this are not for everyone, but I hope it was at least interesting.

I know it might not seem possible (it is trust me). But on my defender I had him decked out so that he was a defender/tanker, Tender, Danker, Defker, whatever you want to call it, He was a Emp/Rad, and the way his attacks were slotted mixed in with Ra's and all that good stuff he could tank a mob easy, when he got to 40+ is when i decided to give it a shot, taking the Power Mastery pool for all the yummy CP, PB, temp invuln, and of course Total focus. Throw in tough and weave and this guy could tank A LOT of stuff. Don't ask me for a build (I suck at it lol >.>). But the way it should be slotted is to have healing aura slotted for 3xheal 2xrecharge 1xend redux, mix in with hasten (3xslotted recharge redux) and healing would be up constantly, and the parts with the ra's, I don't have much experience with IO's but before I could have recovery aura slotted so that I would only be without it for about 15-20 secs. The offensive abilities should be slotted like you were slotting a scrapper.
Feel free to try this out if you want.
I can't remember if you had a Emp/Rad (been to long since we teamed :( ). Hope that was something that you wanted!
