In terms of the Ice side of things the Powers that are pretty much staple are Block of Ice, Chilblain if you're going to solo at all, Arctic Air(Some people skip it and take shiver only to play ranged however I believe arctic air is just too amazing in terms of mitigation not to have it and plus as a kin you'll be in melee anyway), Iceslick, and Jack Frost..Recommended Powers would be Shiver to stack with AA for more slowing and Glacier as your AoE hold..Frostbite is more of a playstyle thing..Most of the time you're not going to use it being the frequency of your iceslick and by using it you're negating that route. In terms of Kin take Siphon Power, Speedboost, Transference and Fulcrum as staples..However in terms of slotting kin powers other forumites would be more knowledgable.
Siphon Speed is a must for any kinetic.
Frostbite is very handy once you get Fulcrum Shift.
Here's a saucy little number that will keep you mashing buttons non-stop.

While I don't have access to Mids right now, that posted build looks like one that emphasizes Defense? Seems like it could be an interesting though, though I'd likely substitute Hover/Fly if I did it, purely for conceptual reasons. And Ice Mastery fits better in general for my character. Hmm.

Yep. ~44% Ranged, 40% S/L, 34% AoE. The build could be tinkered with a bit to make it a little stronger.
You could do the same S/L thing with Ice Armor, but the slot-hungry needs of defense would leave at least one of the Ice AoEs underslotted, and you couldn't use a Basilisk's (for the def/recov/recharge) set. Maybe drop Chillblain for Ice Blast?
How is Hover with Glacier?

You have to touch down to cast it, but it isnt a problem. I always have taken Hover on my Ice Controllers.. Then again I havent played my Ice Controllers in a couple of years, and and I think my Ice/Storm dropped Glacier, so my memory may be faulty. Plus I'm getting old, I suck, and I need to sleep more. A haircut would be in order as well.

You resemble Farah Faucett at the moment, too?
Can someone posts a build for an ice/kin troller. I'm confused on how to slot the kin powers and what to focus on for a controller.
