Pretty much most builds are exactly as you say... attack, defense, heal. . I am not sure if the "build anything" implementation in CO has failed, or if I am just not getting it. I can build tons of effective characters and all of them are a little different, but they are all about the same. . Mostly, I think the execution is lackluster. Not terrible, just not good enough to carry the game. I could go into pages of commentary about why I think this is, but there is probably an article in there somewhere.

In my brief experience it looked like the standard was, take some damage, take some defense, take a heal, become a generic tank mage type, possibly with a vague theme. I am curious to see how the petmaster, man with every pet, or Bricky the tank, the man who wanted to make a CoH tank, would play out. I think Unluminous falls into these kinds of builds. Hope it works out. I have been curious as to how viable the non generic builds in champs would turn out to be.
