I'm running a L44 Emp/Rad Defender, and I've found, when soloing, that ice cubes have a better chance of unmelting in Hell than I do against an AV. Yet, a friend of mine playing a Ill/Rad controller who's 2 levels below me seems to do quite well. I don't mind teaming, but when I can't find a team, and have an AV mission to deal with, I'm basically screwed.
All Heroes may be equal, but some are more equal than others...
