[QUOTE="Roxlimn, post: 4354863, member: 11878"] I think Ray of Frost is okayish. It's best used with other powers and other teammates, also best used as a Readied Action. Chargers often charge from far away - like more than 2 squares away. If you ready an action to kill that movement, the guy is stuck somewhere where he can't really do anything. My interpretation of Slow's effect tells me that you can't use the Run action to increase your Speed. Of course, that's debatable. Still, it's best used with other powers, tactics, and such. Ray of Frost can be used to keep an enemy entangled in an Evard's Area, particularly if your Fighters ready Push actions to push them back in as soon as they get out. Good for Stinking Cloud effects, too. If you're locking down a Dragon with Hands, and you can spare the Standard Action, you might use it to put Slow. That way, even if it frees itself, it can't really move or attack very far. If it targeted Ref, it would probably be too good. [/QUOTE]
