Hey Brainfreeze, you planning to revamp this guide to account for the invuln change in i13 as well as any new sets that have same out or are coming out since it's inception?

Yea I am going to once everything on test is final. Actually I am going to add another section to it also with multiple build options as Super Psy is very helpful I have another build I currently use that's great, but there is another build clicking thru my brain that is so full of win its scary.


Thanks again for all the comments everyone. Something new coming soon.

Frozen aura info is out of date, it now does decent damage and is probably worth taking. Since this is one of the few /Ice guides, it's worth correcting, since I originally skipped it based on this guide.

You are right, I have been fairly busy however I am going to get that part updated before I do anything else.

[*]Frozen Aura[/b] – Click power PBAoE Damage Foe Sleep Recharge 20 Seconds Endurance Cost 18.51, Damage – 63.17 Cold Foe Sleep

Power Description – Your mastery of cold enables you to dramatically lower the temperature immediately around you. When you perform a Frozen Aura, nearby foes will be frozen within a fragile casing of ice. These frozen foes will break free if attacked. Frozen Aura deals Moderate Damage. Recharge - Moderate

My Opinion – This power has changed greatly and now is a staple in any Ice Melee Build. The damage added turns Ice Melee from a AOE sap to a contender. Get this power.

Power Rating – 5 out of 5 Build Staple

Slotting – 6 Slots Total, 3 Damage SO’s 1 Accuracy SO and 1 Endurance Reduction SO, 1 Recharge SO

Damage 95%
Accuracy 33.33%
Endurance 33.33 %
Recharge 33.33 %

Damage 7.72 Cold Damage BI, BI Total of 7.72 BI
Accuracy 99.75% (capped at 95%)
Endurance 15.21 Per use
Recharge 16.25 Seconds


IO Set Slotting With IO's you can do some amazing things with Frozen Aura. I would use the new Obliteration set.

2 Reduces the duration of Stun effects on you by 2.2%.
3 Increases damage by 3%.
4 Improves the accuracy of all of your powers by 9%.
5 Improves the Recharge Time of all of your powers by 5%.
6 Increases melee defense by 3.75% and lethal and smashing defense by 1.875%.

Seems like some nice bonuses, Some accuracy, recharge and damage. Lets make sure we keep our Basics up to par.

Damage 97.12%
Accuracy 66.20%
Endurance 18.5 %
Recharge 90.21 %
Damage 7.77 Cold Damage BI Total 7.77 BI
Accuracy 120.48 % (capped at 95%)
Endurance 16.58 Per Use
Recharge 11.52 Seconds

I love necroing a thread! Hehe I think I am going to stick with this build choice. I also have a Shield ICe tanker but I want a invul one to so I can be more straight forward instead of clicky clicky.
