Thank you, oldskool. I did ready your write-ups on that thread. I think I may want to keep Dual Pistols, if only for the option for the Defensive Opportunity. To start with, I think low-to-mid 30's on defenses would be fine, and I can work on stacking Winter's later.
Main thing is the last 4-5 power slots, as well as Incarnate abilities. As I stated above, going for a more Troubleshooter style, the guy you call to get things done.
