Then I'm not really sure why you picked /cold. Part of its awesomeness is its buffs. Unless you are making a solo build (which you claim you want a team build) then skipping the shields or not using them (if that's what you mean, sorry if its not) is only using part of what makes the set effective. Yes, your primary goal is mitigation through control, but I argue that a controller isn't well rounded until both primary and secondary are utilized.

If you are that against buffing teammates then I'd suggest going with /storm or /TA. But to be honest shielding with /cold isn't that big of an inconvenience. If you can't stand that then maybe you need to go more /storm or /TA or control may not be the AT for you.

Watch your mouth and don't touch meh fire/storm's monkees!

I'll disagree here, Earth/Rad is not a fast solo'r nor is it high on damage. It is, though, one of the most perfect team controllers. While it can solo safely, I wouldn't call it fast by any means.

OP- I'm not so sure what your problems with pets are, but they are really only a part of being a controller and really no hassle at all.

[And relating to later posts]

I have an Illusion/Thermal/Fire who was obsessed with magic since she was a little girl, but unfortunately had no abilities. So she did the next best thing and became a magicians assistant. Her boss , a popular stage magician, was a master at making great stage illusions, and Jane always kept an eye open and learned a lot from him (especially with the use of Flash Powder and optical trickery...her powers are red/orange). She later finds out that her boss is a masked criminal using his stage devices for crime. She then turns the tables on him and uses the tricks she had secretly been working on to apprehend him and start a life of fighting crime. She then uses her popularity as a hero for her own stage show. While she has no secret identity, the one secret she does protect is that she has no magical abilities and is purely tech based.

When /cold came out I knew I wanted to make and Illusion/Cold/Ice (Flash Frozen Jen: lvl 42 now, and lots of fun, btw). When it came to concept time, I was a bit stumped so I went with the tried and true comic book trope of opposites. She has the same basic outfit (top hat, skirt, stockings and heels) but instead of FPJ's red and yellow, she is blue and white.

Jen is a rabid teenage fan of Janes stage show and she bugs Jane to take her under her wing as her sidekick in crimefighting, which she reluctantly does. This annoys Jane mostly because Jen actually DOES have magical powers, the one thing Jane always wanted.

Depending on your definition of "perfect", yes it should be rather easy.

Well its good to see my videos still have legs. Glad you enjoyed.

I approve of this post.

Oh hush you.

:P

That's "rich" Corinthian leather, sheesh.

Pffffttttt, no it's not. :P

If you pwn so much, why come here and ask people for help? Sounds like you have everything down pat. Now if you'd like to actually hear what people have to say differently than you think, welcome to the discussion.
