Epic problems picking my Epic! - for main build

HELP!

My Darkness Controll Storm Summoning controller hit his epic pools and unlocked the patron pools and now I've found I cant train past 40 because I cant decide which pool to pick for my main build. Ice, Mu or Lev.

What are y'all's suggestions? I could REALLY use help picking one for my MAIN build [and figuring out slotting for the four powers of each pool i pick]. all three will eventually get their own build, but my main build will be for both teams and solo, so not specified for one or the other. i dont have any +defense powers beyond steamymist but use stealth/-tohit/kb/hold for self defense.

SO I need help and advice! My options are:

-ICE
-has two good attacks to round out my attack chain
-patch dmg
-has def AND resist shield
-optional oh-sh** button
-fits theme best
-0 pets


-MU
-has extra survivability
-has sexy Mu Guardian
-electric AoE to help attack chain
-optional oh-sh** button
-fits theme second best
-1 pet with his own pet[?]


-LEVIATHAN
-water spout. Water Spout. waterspout. water-spout. spout of water.
-toxic cone for attack chain
-good coralax pet.
-optional oh-sh** button
-only water spout fits theme, but it's like my favorite power evar.
-2 pets


My head says Ice, my heart says Mu, and my weewee is screaming Water Spout.

HELP! PLEASE! WHAT DO I DO?!?!?!

Go Mu, your connection to Scirocco would make sense... since well... he's sexier than Mako?

Some of us disagree. :P

maybe color tinting on beta will help me pick?

When I was looking at my Dark/Storm controller I decided to go with Ice because of Ice Shield stacking with Steamy Mist and the To Hit Debuff from Dark. Also Frost Breath cone goes with the Dark Immob cone.

Although I am very tempted by Water Spout myself....

If your mouse has greater processing power than your gfx card, the answer is yes.

I spent a long time thinking about this same exact question for my Dark/Dark and then again for my Dark/Storm, in both cases I ended up going with Leviathan, because Waterspout is just that good.

Actually, the Coralax is decent as well, and Bile (they should have left it as chum!) Spray meshes sooooo perfectly with the cones of Fearsome Stare and Living Shadows. With Dark/Storm it's an even better match given that you'll already have Tornado out, so Waterspout is just Tornado's cooler (KU instead of KB and better FX) though less available brother. Waterspout even gives a -Def and induces fear in it's vic.. err.. targets.

thanks! I went with Ice for the shield mostly, since the sets have pretty similar aspects except the single target blast would be replaced with a pet... lol

water spout will be second build, ^_^ that i'll also have whirlwind on. because of reasons. mu is third build.
