Tramontane

As soon as my main hit 50 he became, for all intents and purposes, a useless tag-along. His only useful abilities right now are his Incarnate Judgment and his nuke.

My current build isn't maxed on anything, and I've been looking at ways, but I'm wondering if an ice/ice/ice blaster is capable of being
A- Useful to endgame trials, mission teams, raids, or taskforces,
B- Able to be built to perform any impressive bragging-rights stunts,
C- Capable of being useful in PvP, or
D- Useful for anything other than the occasional nostalgic Steel Canyon fire?

Thankye kindly in advance.

Oh, now hold on one damn minute

WHY IS MY LIBRARY FULL OF ******* TRIBBLES?

Stalkers seem to only be good at one aspect of the game, which is PvP, which almost everybody ignores, especially the devs.

Single-target burst damage is virtually worthless in this game from any practical standpoint, especially when coupled with the squishiest defense of any melee archetype in the game.

Okay, seriously, people. The holiday is called "Independence Day"

Calling it "The 4th of July" is silly. It'd be like calling Christmas "The 25th of December."

Character name: Snaerr
Global name: @Tramontane
You give me a timeframe, I'll see if I can work with it.

Well, this sounds right up Snaerr's alley. I'mma warn you right now though- he has issues. He could be contacted through Azuria- the two are good friends- and thus provide an avenue for the two to come together, but Snaerr's a bit manic with a combination White Knight complex and severe self-loathing.

So. If you don't mind him being a general misanthropic angsty sonofabitch, he'd probably be more than happy to give you an assist.

Dude, I wondered why I never saw you around the D anymore.

... I wouldn't even favor kicking them.

I'm as into RP as it gets. Literally every character I have was made with the intention of RPing them, and I've put a great deal of thought and effort into their backstories and personalities. My friends and I have in-character banter during missions, act appropriately in response to clues, and on occasion will even alter our tactics during fights because our characters specifically hate or specifically don't want to hurt a specific group (Doesn't happen often, nor when it's a particularly difficult spawn, but yeah.) I've actually had interactions that consisted of my friends and I street-sweeping mobs too low to grant any rewards and conversing about it, just for the RP aspect.

And I would never kick a non-RP-er off my team, and if they express irritation with RP I stop RP-ing.

This game isn't a game about roleplaying. We're playing a different game on their turf, not vice versa. They get priority.

Hey guys, what's going on in- oh, my lord...

I just got my Ice Control/Icy Assault Dom to level 14.

My problem is, his Controller powersets eat end like candy and his Assault powersets just don't do enough damage to get by without the Control powers. At +0/x1, I wind up with an empty end bar at the end of every fight and I have to wait for it to recharge.

So my question is, am I doing something wrong, is this a crappy level for Dominators in general, or does Ice Control just inhale end like a cocaine addict?
