So I've finally decided to go all out on a 2nd build for my fire/ice blaster, but I need some help. I want to complement my current "all-purpose" build and I'm leaning toward a +ranged def build, but really want to hear creative ideas. Any ideas and/or proposed builds are appreciated. Sky's the limit...
My current build for reference:

I've narrowed it down to two different builds. One of them includes aid self, but sacrifices some defense to do so. I've left an open spot for the PvP +def global in both builds. Any input on whether aid self or the +def from the fighting pool is more beneficial? Thank you in advance for taking the time, I've never had a build that included aid self, so I'm not sure how much impact it may have. (builds below)

Yes. One of those two is what I'm debating between. My primary is in the first post.
