Perhaps what Ice Control needs is a unique passive. Perhaps the -Recharge is given a name like "Frost" and at 3 stacks the next damaging Ice Control power "Shatters" the target for extra damage. So Chilblain, Block of Ice, Frostbite, Flash Freeze and Glacier apply 1 stack. Shiver could apply 3 stacks so the next move "Shatters". This might make Shiver worthwhile to take. Honestly my biggest gripe about Jack Frost is how plain he looks. I think they should make him a recoloured Red Cap model in Ice Armor. Arctic Air needs some sort of rework. If it was a ground targetted AoE of swirling winds that confused those inside it would be great.

I would like to see a Melee Defender Archetype.

Not sure if this would be possible but I had a cool idea to make these abilities look better. Phantom Army - Copy your costume but translucent and glowy. Phantasm - If a hero have it make a phantasm of a random hero (Statesman, Ms. Liberty, Minx, Positron, etc...), villains would create a villain. They would be translucent and glowy and use the same moves as the form they took it can stay energy damage. Dark Servant - Copy of yourself but with the dark tendrils aura and dark eye glows.

I think the issue with Sentinels is that they were mid-range (Lower Range Blasts than Blaster, Corruptor and Defender) and supposed to be tanky. But in actuality their damage isn't high enough and their tankiness isn't good enough. They need some alterations to the stats and caps also to help push the tanky mid-range blaster. Their passive should be similar to Fury. Their single target attacks and being damaged increases their AoE damage as the gauge fills. This would make being mid-range purposeful since you are close enough to take damage and make use of the Cones and AoE. I also think the damage auras should be added back but with a Taunt mechanic added only to it. This would give them off-tank capability without having Taunt or a Pokevoke mechanic all the time.

I agree, I asked this in the reddit AMA. It shouldnt be too hard since they would just take abilities from other powersets to make them. Like they did Savage Assault etc...

I was thinking the same thing. Maybe have Frostbreath and Firebreath use outward palms, or give many blaster powers the option to have guns, handheld flamethrowers etc... So it isnt all palm/hand based blasts but the origins are from weapons.
