I tend to use the Ray of Frost as a little bit of control, often in conjunction with the Wall of Fire. I'm surprised to hear that. You could use it as a powerful combo from three squares away (four if you take enlarge spell, five if you take resounding thunder) to push enemies into your many zone powers, like icy terrain, stinking cloud, web, and wall of fire. Come to think of it, your build would probably benefit from enlarge spell and resounding thunder.
#6 eudemonist Dec 22, 2009 12:02:02	The only reason I've been avoiding Enlarge Spell is because I use multiple damage dice.  I'd end up at like -8 to damage most of the time, which is a pretty big hit.  Granted, I don't HAVE to use it, so I'll probably end up taking it eventually, but it hasn't been priority for me.  Now that I have War Wizardry, I may go back to the T-Wave, because the push effect IS pretty useful.  I dropped a couple twenty-something-pointers on a few allies early on, and they didn't appreciate it too much.
