Hmm, you see most of the time I bring a controller on a team, there is a tank or at least a softcapped scrapper who takes the front aggro -- that's what they were made for. The best use of my abilities is to support the rest of the team by reducing attacks from the foes.

This build has some of the usual things that a "Max build" being posted has. Not necessarily wrong, but choices that I would choose to do differently.

For example: Block of Ice has the Lockdown proc in it. That proc adds 2 mag 20% of the time. BoI already holds minions and Lts all the time (if it hits), and has a 20% chance to add an extra mag for Bosses -- the proc adds no value to those. So, this proc only has value 20% of the time against 80% of the bosses. Compare that to putting in an Acc/Dam Hami-O, which boost the accuracy and adds damage to every foe hit.

Arctic Air uses a ton of endurance, and I have it slotted for capped EndRdx on my Ice Controller. Sure, the Coercive Persuasion set has nice bonuses, but it is low on EndRdx. This build is not high on Recovery, so it is likely that any kind of activity will drain down on your endurance assuming you use Arctic Air (I run it almost all the time). Yes, Transference can refill that bar, but only if a foe is near and only if it hit . . . and it does miss often enough to be a problem. At a bare minimum, this power needs a 6th slot for EndRdx. And you will probably be forced into the Cardiac Boost for Incarnate.

Personally, I think an Ice Controller should have both Arctic Air and a Ranged AoE Slow power. Taking Both AA and Shiver makes sense. Ice/Storm and Ice/Cold have a ranged AoE slow in their secondary, so they can skip Shiver more easily. An Ice controller's best tools are the massive slows combined with the knockdown of Ice Slick. This allows you to control by casting Ice Slick where the melee teammates are, then run in with AA to slow/confuse/afraid them. Anyone out of the AoE of AA should be slowed with the ranged slow power. This can substantially reduce the damage taken by your team.

This build has two expensive Zephyr -Knockback procs. However, I generally put a single Steadfast -Knockback in ID or a Karma in CJ, at a fraction of the cost of those two Zephyrs. That second -Knockback is preventing knockback maybe 2-3% of the time . . . not worth the cost to me.

I view Fissure and Seismic Smash as significant sources of damage, but this build slots them for IO set bonuses rather than the optimal use of the power.

The build has liberal uses of Microfillaments: The speed increase in those powers is minimal at the cost of a very expensive Hami-O . . . I just sold one for 440 Mil.

Other examples I could pull out but I'm out of time.

All I was saying is a common IO build will do that and just because you spent a few billion doesn't really make it able to handle tough content "that much better" really. (For a team build)

That said the build itself is fine, far from bad. It's just common to see people come around here with builds that are expensive for expensive sake and softcap just because it's so in vouge. Is the couple of 100 million extra spent to softcap really helping a team build? I'm not so sure. A farming build? Probably. But a team based controller shouldn't be getting that much aggro; at least I hope not.

Oh well.
