*looks at his FF Defender that's THIS close to having softcap without expensive IOs*
Yyyyyyeahhh... sure, sign me up! 
Would probably be ice. I personally would like some kind of devices/weapon epic with a scorpion shield clone

Maybe a super Epic Fighting Pool with;
Melee attack (Non-weapon)
Melee weapon attack (Sword)
Passive Resistance power (Body Armor)
Active Defense power (Shield graphic perhaps)
AoE something (Rifle or LRM)
just some Ideas
BIOSPARK :: DARKTHORN :: SKYGUARD :: WILDMAGE
HEATSINK :: FASTHAND :: POWERCELL :: RUNESTAFF
Best chance of this would be prolification basically... Something that would not be alot of work to add to the devs list of to do's...
Here's my suggested set...
Tech Mastery
lvl 41 Smoke Grenade
lvl 41 Surveillance
lvl 44 LRM Rocket
lvl 44 Cloaking Device
lvl 47 Gun Drone
Consciousness: that annoying time between naps.
All decent suggestions, however off from the current standards. As with most mastery's they fill holes that primaries and secondaries don't normally have. I would love a tech/weapon mastery for defenders and ice hands down would be a def based which is missing. My suggestion.
Tech Mastery
1. Smoke Grenade
2. Focused Accuracy
3. Body Armor
4. Web Cocoon
5. Gun Drone
Ice Mastery
1. Chilblain
2. Flash Freeze
3. Ice Armor
4. Hibernate
5. Block of Ice

Tech
2. Not tech related, Targetting drone be better
3. Body Armour is Res based and we need a Def based shield, maybe Scorpion Shield
4. Clashes a bit with webnade from traps fenders
Ice
5. Already you can get Freeze Ray and Bitter Freeze Ray, another hold?
Perhaps this would be a better compromise...
1. Smoke Grenade
2. Targetting Drone
3. Scorpion Shield
4. Photon Grenade
5. Gun Drone
+
1. Chilblain
2. Flash Freeze
3. Ice Armor
4. Ice Sword Circle
5. Hibernate

I thought Web Cocoon was a hold, not an immob?

Thats why i said "a bit" :P
Just seems very similar...

That's like saying Earth Control shouldn't have Fossilize because it's got Stone Cage surely?|

Thematic powers with different effects are a good thing in Epics IMO. It's only when the effects duplicate that they mightn't be suitable (even then the opportunity to stack mezzes etc means they can still be very useful)
Perhaps Web cocoon blue side could have same effect but be a thrown grenade so you don't use Arachnos Mace.
Was my mistake, your totally right.. Be nice to have a webnade thats a hold

I'd really like a +Def power in the epics that didnt cover you with Ice or Earth.
Something more like the Kinetic Shield temp power you can get from bank missions, I guess.
I would like something like:
Web Cocoon Grenade
Wide Area Web Grenade
Scorpion Shield Clone
Sleep Grenade
LRM/Gun Drone

Yea Targeting Drone crossed my mind just as I left my house, wasn't running in to edit my post. lol |

Power clashes between epics and select powers are of little reason to exclude them. Yea Ice Blast and Electric Blast have a hold, but the other blast do not. Yet defenders have Shocking Bolt and Dominate in their epics. I rolled a Traps/Psi fender, no hold there as with most defender combos. Not everyone plays the ice/ice/ice or the fire/fire/fire so repeats are irrelevant. Plus as a fender, slot some hold procs and the Freeze Ray>BFR>Dominate is a nasty way to lock things down. Thats what I did on my Rad/Ice fender, thats 9-27 mags of hold in a few seconds off a fender
One thing all defenders do have access to is an AoE damage attack so in relation its not needed in the epics. Using the existing Mastery's as a template is a good way to go IMO as it seems that would be the Devs direction.
Kinetic Shield would be workable in a Tech Mastery as I honestly find body armor useless.
I'd much rather see something like:
Uber Mastery
41: Fire Imps - same as fire troller power, but with reduced recharge and stackable
41: Defender Rage - same as Brute SS, but with no crash
44: Power Stomp - same as SS Foot Stomp, but energy damage with Disorient added in
44: Uber Surge - A direct port of Elec Tanker Power Surge, but on a 90 sec timer and with Psionic resistance - stackable
47: Uber Ignite - Same as AR Ignite, but 25' AoE radius and a mag 4 immob added in. It also buffs any imps in it to double hit points and double damage.
This isn't too much to ask for, is it?
Seriously, I wouldn't mind seeing a pet on the order of the villain epic pets to help soloing.
Current:
Fridgerato - Traps/Ice (Frdm)
Gadgetron - Grav/TA (Lbrty)

Hey Folks,
Just noticed that both Blasters and Controllers (Our Squishy Brothers) both have Mastery sets with access to a +Def Toggle. (Ice for Blasters and both Stone and Ice for Controllers)
How many of you think we need a new Mastery set with a Defense oriented power ?
All we have are resistance sets.
Is Ice Mastery in the works ? Thoughts ?
Sure would be nice to get something besides Earth or Ice though.
