New superhero based mmo. It's set in the Champions pen and paper universe. Character creation can take forever due to the amount of options that you can have and, with some limitation, you can choose pretty much any available power that you like.
My electric is a little white tiger, he runs on all fours and can shoot lightning from his forehead (some powers have this option so you can toggle it to cast from palms, fists, chest or head) and teleports.
My sorcerer is pure sorcery right now, he has bird wings (that flap when his fire flight is activated... which is purple instead of... fire coloured) and all of his powers are coloured similarly. He summons a ring of 5 stationary sigils that do damage to a target within their range, a pet that builds charges when it attacks and if I channel it's summon spell while it has them I get energy and temp damage boost buffs, then a wolf pet that may end up more powerful but I have to stay where I cast his summon or he'll disappear and a passive buff to all allies stats.
Of course there are potential "best" builds. A lot of the electric powers have the "arc" trait so they are apparently popular as you can just tap them as you near a big group and they will arc through everyone present and can have a greater range than an AoE. At the same time you can only have about 14 powers per character and certain passive powers have to go into the slot so only one will work at a time (so awesome regeneration power doesn't work with passive damage/defense buffs)
I'm hoping sorcery is going to be fixed soon (and maybe I could get a full retcon (yes that is how you respec)) cause it's kinda fail right now. You can find most of the powers listed at http://championsonline.wikia.com/wiki/Frameworks the only limitations are about requiring x skills, so it's easier to get skills if your energy builder is in that framework (pretty much just auto-attack in WoW) but once you pick one from that framework you don't have to pick another from it and you just need to focus on exactly what you are building.
