Well, Snark, sometimes you (by which I mean, "me" or "us oddballs") get an urge to try to take a really crappy powerset and see what you can do with it. I'm not sure why I get this urge, but I occasionally do. When it happens, I may take regen, Kin melee, or sentinel cold blast or (insert underwhelming powerset here) and see what I can make with it by pairing it with something good.
Of course, I'm almost always disappointed with the results, but it's an itch I just have to scratch. 🤓 🤷♂️
