In fact, I wouldn't even be mad at all if the damn thing was in the store in a day or so. Five days, though? Sorry, but thats just crap.

*This post is full of snark. I do not intend to imply that a Peacebringer or a Stalker cannot participate in a Speedy LGTF. I do, however, maintain they are on par with each other for "least valuable AT for a team."

Right now almost all Stalkers (except for outliers) do less AoE damage than any other melee -- in fact, some do no AoE damage whatsoever. They're supposed to excel in ST, but they don't do more damage than Scrappers until they're surrounded by teammates on all sides, and even then, the damage difference isn't enough to offset the fact that they have weak AoE and die easily.

If they're supposed to be ST specialists they should be really, really good at it. Right now they're only a tiny bit better than anyone else you could take, with tons of drawbacks.

So for a good while I've had an Ice/Radiation Controller (code name: "Radio Iceotope"). I have a strange affection for Ice Control because, while not all that powerful, it is so unlike any power set/spell caster class I've seen in a game. My Ice/Rad has plodded through most of his life as an "average-at-best" Controller, unable to solo in any capacity until after level 45, and for all that damage he gave up, hardly the best of Controllers either.

Ice Control, I think most of us know, is a melee heavy set that requires taking a lot of chances to survive. Paradoxically, it also has a relatively fragile pet and uses too much endurance to really slot armors. Or so it used to be before Cardiacs...

With the magic of incarnate sauce, I have stumbled across a build that gives me capped Ranged defense and enough recharge to gain perma mezz protection. This build would have been unthinkable six months ago. But this is the dawn of a new age!

I'm not going to go into a whole lot of detail about what happens when a character has perma mezz protection, capped ranged defense, 2 PBAoE holds, Arctic Air, Choking Cloud, Ice Slick, a self heal, enough -Recharge to floor a group of +4 enemies, and the indecency to wear underroos into mortal combat. While I still can't kill anything quickly... this is a totally different character. My other characters have changed somewhat, but this one completely transformed.

EDIT: Best part. The build ISN'T DONE. I'm riding at 35% defense until I bother to work up the cash for the final sets.

It's too bad they couldn't have done so while expanding the number of options from anyone who didn't want "Tiger Head Man". Some "bestial" clothing options, weapons, etc. Prior to the pack coming out, people talked about how it'd be cool if you could use different facial parts and stuff like that. Instead we just got some disappointingly limited premolded animal heads and a couple skin patterns.

I suppose the bright side is that they didn't include a single piece "hook" to entice me to spend money on the pack

But paws for hands (or paw-like hands) would've been cool. Three-fingered hands that resemble bird's feet and/or dinosaur claws would be cool, too. I was really hoping for some paws/claws/hooves for feet, though, so we could have normal legs but animal feet.
