    Mastermind on CoV side. I play that almost always when I just want to solo.

    Well when it comes right down to it, it all depends on your style of play.

    If your a tanking type player then the Master Mind is for you. there is no better tanker and they are an Army of one.

    The Brute would be a close 2nd for the upclose and personal with little tatics involved. Sicne the more hits they take the more damage they do.

    If you like being sneeky and stealthy and being the unseen killer the a Stalker my be more your style.

    If you prefer more at being at range and knocking them off before they get to you as well as doing more damage the more the person you poping gets hurt then a Curruptor is the fiend for you.

    If your looking for a semi ballance between hold and damage and a charater who gets off and benifets from the damage they do then try the Dominator.

    As for me the only one I have not tested in real play yet has been the Stalker, but did quite alot dureing the Beta.

    I Solo very well with my Master Mind, Brute, Dominator and seem to do the best with my Curruptor followed by my Brute then Master Mind and my Dominator.

    Which attest that my prefered style of play is with my Curruptor but can do just as well with the others.

    Hope this help some, always remember for best results try out what you want and then run with it and have fun. If your not having fun with it try something different you have many options.

    The only two CoV archetyptes I've tried out are Brutes and Masterminds.  They are both fantastic solo characters.  The mastermind is also very sought after on teams (teams like the extra help from the minions, and they like your support abilities).  Masterminds are rumored to bite in PvP, so if that's something you like be warned.



    I don't want to write this, and you don't want to read it. But now it's too late for both of us.

    it all depends, Masterminds can be fun becasue its like have your own personal team with you but a Brute can level much faster.  On my EM/EA brute I hit level 40 in just 14 days completly solo never teaming once. I have also heard of people hitting 40 solo in under a week.

    I have tried all of the archtypes, and I would go with brute.. at lvl 40, I'm soling missions and powerleveling lower lvl's in my VG.  Master Mind is ok at the highest lvl, but working your way up can be a little challenging.  I have found ice/ice corruptors extremely tough, and in pvp they kick some serious booty when in a group.

    Yup, for solo MasterMind is buy far the best and in PvE you can basically NEVER die.

    However be warned in PvP you will be first target 95% of the time and most players have the sense to ignore your pets, slap some debuffs or a hold and kill you real quick.

    In our SG (www.nightsofdarkness.com) - rank #4 on pinnacle we have done some testing and the best group on 8 guys involves like 3 brutes / 2 or 3 corrupters / 1 dominator / 1 or 2 stalkers and a master mind(preferably with Force fields) however force fields are getting hit with the nerf bat in I7 so I guess wait and see
