Is Ice/EM any good for PvE since I don't really want to struggle reaching 22 like my scrapper :P would ask about PvP but i'm pretty sure it is.

My Ice/Nrg does very well in PvE, as long as I don't face more than +2 or horribly buffed foes like Nemesis with Vengeance(been one-shotted yesterday by 6 +2 minions with something like 5-6 vengeance stacked )

Energy Melee has one of the lowest damage output you can think of a secondary, with the only proper attack being Baone Smasher, until you get Energy Transfer and Total Focus(super strength, fire, stone and battle axe have far better damage, dunno about mace and ice has no damage in the whole set ).

Just amending for clarity. I assume you agree that EM after 35 kicks much [censored] (i.e. is the best single-target set there is)?

about ETtransfer, did they already fixed that 'stack up a 10 mobs into 1 spot' and when you do ET you hit them all together? (aka 10x 11% hp = faceplant).

Not sure, probably not, but the "stacking" of enemies themselves seems to happen less frequently now, if at all. Haven't killed myself with Energy Transfer in a long time.

The stacking of enemies was an exploit anyway...You could herd Dreck faster than a fire tank with just total focus and bone smasher. So I hope it's fixed now (haven't tried recently)

Read the Italic, Bold part and guess for yourself

The stacking of enemy still happens, a lot less often but still happens, if I manage to herd as I say(i.e. no one aggroing or stayin in LoS) you can still do it, with some effort.

Yeh I mean getting 17 baddies at a time instead than a full room and placing them nicely in my taunt aura and, maybe, one into the other

I wasnt talking about herding, just 1 group of 11 mobs (based on team of 8 thats even low). By running back out of LoS (behind a crate) even a nrg-blaster can show off his aoe's without knocking them out of my aggro range.

And can we stop the Dreck story for once.. there are still huge ammount of missions available where you can 'herd' till ya drop.
