Simply asked. What is the best Primary for a Sentinel who will only be at 40+ range and who wants to concentrate on AoE? And why? Also this will prob work best in teams because I do not see myself soloing large mobs. So do certain AoEs that might be close have an edge in teams like Rad DeBuffs etc

I used to try and run ranged back in the day to limited success. Probably my best effort was a Energy Blaster I/Od for defense and lightly incarnated. I could only 50 Blaster and Doms. I tried Ice many times in the past. I do not think I ever ran one long even at 50 So Ice again lol. Any pointers would be helpful. My questions right now are mainly about the AoE in Ice. Does it cover a larger are than a standard ball blast and does it affect more than 10 I think of the Ice powers as shining in mid 30 teams. High level mobs tend to be tougher in every way and you just need pure damage to take them down. Still locking down a Siiper Stunner or Malta end drainer is a good trick. Also if the AoE is an actual area effect without max target then that gives an advantage to this less than loved set. And the tier 9 is ranged which is why I keep trying to make this work. Ice energy will be a completely ranged build. Unlike 98% of the other Blappers and Brutetrollers
