(Kneel Before Me is also classed as an area power.) But honestly, getting this explosion as large is possible is enough to justify this.
For most of her life, Emma Frost thought only of her own needs and goals, seeing humanity as inferior to her own mutant race. She used her intelligence, charm, and telepathic powers to accumulate great wealth. Soon she joined the mysterious Hellfire Club, a group secretly dedicated to world domination. For years she helped that group gain the political and economic influence it desired, often clashing with the X-Men.Marvel Source
Over time, however, Emma came to see the teaching of young mutants as her true calling. Eventually she allied with Professor Charles Xavier and her former enemies, becoming a full-fledged member of the X-Men and a teacher at the Xavier School.

Why the Doc Oc Medallion and Power Prism Shard? The only area power you have is exploding minions.
So far I'm seeing a rather long cooldown at low levels (2 secs are knocked off for every rank, at 31 or so the cooldown is 0), but that's what the melee is intended to salvage. When I'm running into mobs I usually charm one, explode it--which ends up leaving me a single target with low health to charm (most typically the "leader").
Pretty fun, but does require a little finesse and some rhythm to play this way. I'll keep ya posted.
.:Edit: 09/23:. Putting this character on ice... AIM Incinerator is just too much DPS to ignore.
.:Edit: 09/08:. I'm taking Edge of Infinity off for the time being, I'm going to test a little with pet artifacts that increase health. I think this will be a bigger bonus.
I've moved a bit of skills around. Cut down on the dump to Lunge and added to Psychic Awareness (for whatever reason, it won't let me take it to 20)--Mental Overload is Mental Damage at Base and this change is to reflect that. Also switching from Diamond Heart (keeping 1) to Flawless Jewel to see if survivability ramps up. Thanks to the folks in Emma's forum on official Marvel Heroes
.:Edit: 10/31:. Build is viable again, but it's bugged. Might update anyway with new artifacts and the whole deal.
Should MAX Psychic Awareness, dump the rest into Frenzied Confusion
