If SUCK could come in a can and you could drink it.. That set is what it would taste like.

Heck, IOs are not a deciding factor. A well skilled SO blaster vs. an unskilled IO blaster... the SO blaster will win.

I initially took ice for the minor protection Ice would give to me in a crunch, but clearly this was lost on this person.

So I began to wonder, as an Empath, my biggest job is healing and buffing, right now at lvl 26 I only have 2 attacks from Ice. So does secondary really matter? Did I somehow gimp my character by taking ice?

Now, I admit the wooden spoon hands the Huntsmans had bothered me, but soon as I get into the game, it's a distant memory.

It's not like there's an Archetype called "Healer" just archetypes who can heal. In that respect everyone is like a Brute. You may call a Brute a "Tank" but Brutes are not "Tanks"

Actually Brutes are like some weird mix of Brute and Scrapper. They have high HP like a Tanker though lower than a Tanker still higher than everyone else in the game. But they also do DMG and fight more like a Scrapper. My Dual Blades/Willpower Brute and Scrapper almost have the exact same build except that their Patrons are different as the Scrapper gets the same Patron powers as a Stalker. I'm also getting different Incarnate powers for each of them so it's less like playing the same character with a different inherent power.
