Looks nice, Glacier really could use 1-2 Recharge if you can fit it in. And some people would prolly say take hasten though, I've not taken it on my Ice/Ice.
You have gone for a melee orientated build, wich will give you the best damage pes second and damage per end. However you will still find your damage is low, and you will faceplant an awful lot until you get Jack.
In teams I find it sometimes quite difficult to get into melee range, which means it is hard to attack if you are mostly melee, which means you dont get domination very often.
I would certainly 6 slot Jack, he greatly boosts damage output s well as suvivability. 2 acc, 3 damage, 1 hold (he has Block of Ice).
Leave out Ice Blast, it's almost identical to Ice Bolt. 6 slot Ice Bolt instead: 2 acc, 3 dam, 1 endrec.
Take Hasten Earlier.
Slot Glacier with 2 acc, 2 hold, 2 recred. It has a long recharge time.
I don't find Chilling Embrace very useful, and intend to respec it out. I certainly don't think it's worth 6-slotting.
Oh, yeah, BoI 2 acc, 2 hold, 2 redrec. you need to be using this as much as possible.
I really should do something about this signature.
So... Maybe something like this? I tried to put what you said but trying to keep the melee build, cause I need to try it =P About Chilling Embrace, I thought that CE combined with AA and Jack´s CE would stack and slow everything as hell =/ But I´m not sure about that

Yes, CE slow stacks, but you have to be in melee range to use it, and any extra slows slotted are wasted, since the mobs will be already virtualy immobile. Also it uses much much less endurance than AA.
I really should do something about this signature.
Ok, then I´ll take it out & out those slots somewhere else, thanks guys =)
Do you recomend something else to take? soz about spamming
Well, you have a several options. For the slots, you could make sure all your attacks are 6 slotted (you will find endrecs very useful).
Alterative power choices: Stealth (very useful when soloing below level 32), SS (alternative to stealth), Chillblane, to build domination when you can't get into melee range, brings down flyers. There is also the aoe sleep, the cone slow or the cone attack, but they will need to be slotted to be effective.
I really should do something about this signature.
I know some people dont like cones but Frost Breath is a good attack for a dominator, as you're close to the action you can actually hit a lot of the mobs with your cone

Oh, you get more benefit from Hurdle than Swift, especially combined with SJ.
I really should do something about this signature.
and an end redx in Greater Ice Sword rather than the second rchg in Bitter Ice Blast I think, Greater Ice Sword needs it

I wouldn't suggest dropping Ice Blast until later when you have more attacks. It's a nice quick blast and you need ST attacks to build domination, Ice primary is not that great for it especially as most people skip the immobs. It's not great damage but at least it's better than Ice Bolt.
That said making a melee oriented build is great idea, your primary supports it and damage in /ice is lowish so you need the swords to do any kind of meaningful damage. Besides, the swords look really nice, with the exception of GIS which is kinda silly. I think CE could work well for you if you plan to be in melee most of the time. It does make things safer there. I had it and it was nice, but I also do well enough without it. The thing is there are lots of pool powers you can benefit from.
Hurdle is very nice with CJ and you will need Stamina. Aid Other+Aid Self and Hasten are very useful. Stealth or SS are, too, for stealthing missions and tricking Jack into taking alpha and to melee when you're soloing. I'm currently using Recall Friend for that, though.
Thanks a lot guys =)
Hello, I wanted to know what do you think of my domi build, I´m quite new in dominator/controller stuff, you can see that I put a lot of dmg, also I really like the secondary powers of this build, so please comments =). I´ll have to slot Jack after the I7 though, I didn´t have more slots.
