I can't find a group on CoH, so I decided to make a video of how knockbacks SHOULD be used. Too many people just knock everything back at random... so this shows first how you can use an AoE immobilize so they don't run around while you group 'em up... then gale them into a corner, then how high you can stack 'em with hurricane and ice patch working for ya. Then when I'm bored, I rain death upon them.
Of course, this is only as effective because I'm level 23 and they're... like level 9-12... ice/storm=lots of control... 0 damage and 0 heals.
Update: Btw, my ice/stormy is 50 now... I take back the damage/heals thing. Just as much control at 50... and between tornado/thundercloud/jack, and blasts from my epic pool... I can put out a steady stream of damage. Plus, freezing rain's beautiful debuff lets me let the rest of my group do significantly more damage... sure I don't get credit for the numbers... but debuffs are important, dammit. Plus, when slotted O2 boost -IS- respectable, on top of the damage mitigation from the controlling... I mitigate just as much damage if not more than an emp defender in most cases (not cimerora where they're all but immune to all my controls... which just turns me into a blaster... tornado chews 'em up without throwin' 'em around.)
lol did it actual take an hour to finish em off in real time?

No. That was an exageration. I was just making 'em trip a lot up until 55 seconds and just killed 'em all with a freezing rain. Of course, they were very low... FR's not really a damaging power by itself. (although I currently have it slotted to be a HUGE debuff.... on top of the slow/slip effect)
Eventually I'll reactivate my accounta nd make some higher end stuff... I miss that game.
