U won't be using barrage at all in PvP, better use those slots in another more useful power (i even took off barrage from my power list).
U deffo need hasten, and 3 rechrdx in hibernate. If u got spare slots, add 2 heal and 1 end mod, that way u will be fit and ready before taunt and slow debuffs wear off (if u plan on arena team pvp, that is).
Dunno why u ask us not to suggest focus accuracy. Ok, i wont suggest it, but it will be ur loss for sure.
Stun and icicles I would drop them. Icicles seems not the best AS interrupter at all. Anyway if for any reason u want to stay with it, dont slot dmg, its just wasting slots

Arr good to see you only read the start and end of threads...It helps if you read the middle as well.

Also although it's a PvP build I still want to be able to tank in PvE, hence why I want only pyre mastery. Also I hear that icicles does more damage than you think. Think I might move the two slots in barrage to hibernate though.

Although on second thoughts I really really want aid self so fire might have to go

Had to take energy to fit aid self in and had to shuffle when I took slots around.

IMO Aid self really isn't needed, Hibernate and Hoarfrost are the only 2 you will really need.

I'd change ure attack slotting to 2Acc/3dam/1rech

Hibernate I'd just have 3 Recharge in and move the slots to Build up.

When you read herobuilder its rubbish damage for high endurance, when your surrounded by 10 foes though its great damage and all that damage for the endurance cost is just a must have.

He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.
