I noticed (in the open beta) how poorly my MA (Martial arts) / Claw character performed once I auto-leveled him to 40 (through the "Supreme Power" mission, in Millenium City), compared to my DB (Dual Blades) character of equal level... I brought this mediocre build to the zones inhabitants at the time, who tried to assuage me that, (his) poor performance may be attributed to poor Equipment slotted to him. The case being is that both characters had poor equipment slotted to them, however... the DB character performed MUCH better then the MA/Claw. (Being able to defeat 2, lvl38 Master Villains at once, whereas the MA/Claw could NOT defeat a single lvl36 Master Villain)

*I am not one to complain, but just noting for anyone's reference in case someone is taking notes...
