    That's a good idea. Gives me some options if I get sick of ranged blasting. Drop ice patch, have 3 or 4 melee powers and go to town.

    I poked around with the ice secondary, and this is what I came up with. How's it look? I have to say that it goes better with his background as opposed to energy.

    In my experience, I find that Ice's attacks are very quick and this results in gaps in between cycles. So first, I'd not recommend Hasten. Ice also "feels" lacking in AOE because all it has are a cone and a rain. Mental Manip offers an additional cone attack which fits in very nicely with Ice's cone. In addition, MM has a PBAOE. You may not think you'll use it much because you want to stay at range, but you'll soon see that with your double cones dishing out high damage in a short period, you'll be pulling a lot of aggro and they'll close on you. Thus PBAOE!

    I find that Ice also seems to be endurance heavy, probably because of it's quick recharge. MM offers a +recov/+regen PBAOE power. Note: there's a steep learning curve before you can use it without it being effectively a suicide power. But in the meantime, it is good for AV fights because it also does -regen on affected targets.

    Going with Cold Mastery is a good choice, but I really think you should not skip the armor. In addition, slot the self heal with heals and recharge instead of +resist.
    I was going energy as a secondary to help with range as I plan to be a hover blaster and try not to blap much.

    To both of the above, those are great ideas. Thematically, I think I would prefer going /ice as I have an idea in my head for the reason why he manipulates ice. Although I'm going to play around with mids and check stuff out.

    For the ice secondary, what skippable powers are there? Which ones are must haves. Should I really skip hasten? Thanks for any input.

    Good day all,

    I have a fire/nrg ranged blaster that I like, but I've always been intrigued about ice blast. Is energy the best secondary choice? Or is ice a better compliment. I do like to stay at range, so this build is a blaster at the soft-cap for ranged defense. Also I'm not a huge fan of the nukes, I know Blizzard does a ton of damage, but I'm not sure if I want to put it in. Please feel free to make suggestions and alterations.

    I don't know what you mean by the Blaster ATO proc. Is this a new thing?
  6. Pryme23
    EJI, that's great thanks. My only question is rain of fire better than fire breath? I've found on other toons that putting a couple of ranged IO's in a cone makes them deadly.
  7. Pryme23
    Good day to everyone,

    I've been playing for a few years, and I love blasters. But I'm not a huge fan of blapping, and that is the way I usually end up playing. I'm trying to get a hover blaster.

    I like fire thematically and how the powers work. I have a lvl 44 Fire/Nrg blaster, but I'm finding it hard to soft-cap ranged defense with it. So I started using mids, and I came up with this, a Fire/Mental blaster.

    Any help or guidance is greatly appreciated.
