Sounds like you want a Corruptor - I'd personally recommend Ice/Kinetics.
- It's a ranged attacker, with no melee abilities
- It has decent CC abilities between the freeze-beam holds
- It has a tiny bit of support in Speed Boost, a great fire-and-forget power, and your heals, endurance recovery power and super-self-buff all happen to boost your team as well.
-It has great AoE power between Ice Storm and the great Blizzard nuke coupled with the aforementioned super-self-buff, Fulcrum Shift.
Alright I'll check that out. Thanks.

This is what I generally am looking for: -Ranged attacker, I prefer not having to take melee abilities -Decent CC, I like the dominators CC ability, but the solo play felt sluggish. -Tiny bit of support (I don't want to be a healer, just a OS button. -A little/decent bit of AoE power Now to me being a former wow player, where everything was just layed out in the open... this is a little hard to find, but I assume for you vets, this might be easier then it looks to achieve. Any replies are appreciated. Edit: I have access to all the ATs |
Sleep and Temporal Distortion for CC (sleep more useful solo) skip Temporal Selection, a cone damage power.

I agree that corruptor sounds more like what you want. I'd personally recommend */dark. It has a good mix of control, debuffs, and utility. It is also one of the most powerful sets in the game.

Good choice, and I could see dark blast used instead of Ice as an alternate. Dark Miasma would also fall right in line with your requirements and would help with theme. Stay away from Storm Control if you are learning the game though.|

Dominators are far easier to solo than controllers and can do lots of crowd control and good damage - you will start to feel great in the 30s like most. I think a fire/fire dominator might be right up your alley too.

Illusion/Cold Controller, or for a little more AoE with less recovery, you can do Illusion/Storm.
Your character does not have capped defense. Depending on your AT the cap is between 175% - 225%. Your defense is not teal in the combat window, it can go higher. STOP SAYING IT IS CAPPED! The correct term is Soft Cap.
I enjoy playing in Mids. I specialize in Melee Characters, other AT's usually bore me.
There are alot of different combos to use in this game, and I can't find one that calls to each aspect that I would like to see in my character, so I was hoping you guys might be able to help me out.

-Tiny bit of support (I don't want to be a healer, just a OS button.
-A little/decent bit of AoE power
Now to me being a former wow player, where everything was just layed out in the open... this is a little hard to find, but I assume for you vets, this might be easier then it looks to achieve. Any replies are appreciated.
Edit: I have access to all the ATs
