Great help.

I decided to keep Total Focus as I use it quite a bit while soloing. I like hurricane, but I just don't get as much use out of it like I used to about 6 issues ago. I went ahead and sacrificed Frost Breath because Cryonic as my Judgement is a preferable cone attack.

In lieu of Frost Breath, I tried taking Combat Jumping to up my defense. I also slotted the Kismet +6% to hit because I had 0 to hit bonus. I slotted a LotG-GlobalRech in both Maneuvers and Combat Jumping, so I think I'm pretty set with regards to recharge in addition to Hasten. I'm assuming that it's a good choice that I use a Cardiac Alpha slot, then.

I took the advice and slotted the 6 Expedient Reinforcements in Tornado for the defense bonus. And upon further research, I am in agreement about the preference of Decimation over Devastation slotting. Also, I dropped the extra health and extra stamina slots to make use of them elsewhere.

I think I'm really digging this build. Thanks a lot for the suggestions. Let me know if anything glaring sticks out - otherwise I'm going to respec and get this thing rolling.

Thanks, Draggynn. I've read every word of your Storm guide, so you can see a lot of your ideas reflected in the build.

This is the build I have now, so cost isn't an issue. I will play around with adjusting the slotting for speed as I know WinGift is not worth it for the 5% cold resist. I'm at at KB protection of 8 with S'fstPrt-ResKB in TempInvul and the Zephyr in fly (though I'll prolly move it to pick hover instead) Should I go higher than 8?

I noticed that very few people select Frost Breath and Total Focus as powers. Are there two powers I'd be making better use of in place of one or both of them with the rest of this build intact?

Lemme know your thoughts on the soft cap with Gladiator's Armor.

I just have fly because I like to fly around, honestly.

I've scoured through dozens of threads for great ideas. This is what I've come up with for myself. Any advice is welcome.

Took me 15 months, but my Arctic Prince finally hit 600! Woot.

I was under the impression that all my toons should have access to booster costumes, but it doesn't seem that way.

Only 1 has access to the Valkyrie costumes, only 1 has access to the Scientist garb, only 1 with access to the wedding tuxedos.

Thanks for reading this.
