    Is Tremor+Icicles enough AoE? What should I look for/avoid with this pairing? I'm planning on picking up Weave. And Hasten, definitely Hasten. Fitness until it becomes inherent, or can I skip it once I get EA?

    I haven't played a tank in ages, how's the new Bruising working out?
    My Ice/Stone just hit 50 the other day. I haven't quite finished his build yet. I have to say it is a rather fun combo and I am very pleased with it. Very nice smashy feel to it. The single target damage is very good, but yes the AoE is a little weak (when stamina becomes inherent I plan to pick up a patron/epic AoE power). With all the toggles and a heavy amount of recharge i decided to keep stamina till issue 19.

    The combo is very good on teams and I solo at +1/x8 with him and have little difficulty killing things. It's not the fastest, but still acceptable (to me at least). Large groups of carnies/knives/nemesis which can be a pain for ice can be handled with a good dose of tremor & fault with hibernate as a good emergency power.

    I took all the ice powers, and all of the stone except hurl boulder and the second tier hammer (forgot the name). Also took hasten, fitness line, combat jumping/super leap, boxing/tough/weave. Good luck =)

    Best AOE combo?

    Then there is always the insanity of a Rad/Fire Blaster...

    You can have 4 AoE's by level 10 (Irradiate-PBAoE, Electron Haze-Cone, Combustion -PBAoE, Fire Sword Circle-PBAoE). Latter on you can add Neutron Bomb, Hot Feet, Blazing Aura, Burn, Atomic Burst (the nuke) and even Consume. Though it is more of a melee blaster.

    Elec/Dark?

    POST-ACTION

    Any good? I don't see this combo at all on the forums. I have recently returned after being away from game for a few years and all I see is /Shields stuff. I always wanted to make a /Dark (got a 50 spines/fire) and I don't think elec/ was around back then. So I am thinking of pairing the two together. Any synergy? Any advice? Thanks in advance.
