Those who have 11th level casters available. And most will typically not have Resist Energy Cold up unless the DM is fudging (very few spell attacks are cold, most are fire or acid or even electricity).Resist Energy is an "after observing the Wilder" type of response. It is not very often a "all of the NPCs are protected by Resist Energy Cold 30. Too bad."You really are stretching here.The +4 surge only uses up a lot of points 20% of the time. Most of the time, a powerful surge is not need for the Current. It is only needed for dire situations. The rest of the time, doing 60% to target #1 on round one and another 60% on round two without surging is sufficient.The damage per level is the same for the other powers, they just affect more targets.Yup. Not a real consistent strategy until he can pass it off to the Psicrystal.That's not the real point of the build. It's a side effect that helps in some circumstances. The real point is blasting every round without using up actions or PP.Potaatoe, potatoe.That's not stated. The power only talks about transferring the concentration, not the origin point. In fact, the power does not even state that the Psicrystal control changing the targets of the attacks. Presumably, the Wilder does.Even if a DM rules that way, it does not happen until round two when the psicrystal attacks with it.Whatever dude. Pretend all you want that doing 100+ points of damage per round without using PP and without using actions is not Nova-ing. Pretend all you want that doing 60% more damage than an Evoker can do at 3rd level is not Nova-ing.At this point, you are just arguing just to argue. Finding minutia and pretending it is pertinent. Ignoring the math. Talking about rare defenses as if everyone has them. Whatever. <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/laugh.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" /></blockquote>
