Ice Epic for illu/storm..r0x?^^

Ninja edit: Altho this idea was meant for pvp it might be better for the controller section..apoligies^^

Without saying much^^

-lvl 41 Ice blast

3 dam 2 acc 1 recharge

Nice damage..quick animation...and offcourse the slow

-Lvl 44 Ice armor

3 def 2 end mod..

to hit debuff stacked with this armor should make you pretty hard to hit in duels and also gives you little defense against ranged opponents

-lvl 47 Ice Storm

3 damage 2 recharge 1 slow

Freezing rain+Ice storm will give you big aoe damage and will combined slow everything in your way

Hibernate

3 recharge

Having lack of selfheal (even when taking aid self) and having a pretty end heavy build hibernate is a great ''oh [censored]!!" button..altho you might take this earlier on it requires less slots so for a lvl 50 build this would be the last on the list.

any comments or tips?^^

I'd pick primal forces I think, but ice as a second choice.
With PB you can boost not only the -acc debuffs, but also the slows, the heals from aid self, fear from ST and the hold duration. With CP your end problems should be a lot better. Armor is dmg resist and blast.. well blast is the weak point of this epics imo.
So my choice would be primal>ice>psi>fire for pvp with an illu/storm

I agree fully on that..mostly the CP..but..

1. I wanna'd a change from primal
2. my slow is on max most of the time already^^
3. altho powerboost is a great power ice armor is more permanent..I guess primal and ice are both great choices just like you said

Ive got a ill/storm too (planning to pvp a lot), but i plan to get psi epics, for the mez protection and psi damage. however i may decide to respec into ice/force epics in case theres not much dominators around so i can rely on acrobatics for mez protection.

I agree with Dark Blasphemy: Storm benefits nicely from PB for a multitude of reasons. Add also to the list: repel strength, -def, stuns, kback, mez resist if you run Acro, movement speed...

With 3 recharges, it's on about half of the time with Hasten (which as a troller, I'm sure you must have )

Like I said I have one real reason (IF you read my other post) to get primal and thats CP...also considering playstyle..

Well if by any reason you dont want to pick primal for that toon, go ice, it's the second best imo. Btw power boost affects only powers when it's up, or the ones cast during PB? I mean, frozen armor for instance, you use PB and toggle it on. Is it boosted only while PB is up or until it's detoggled as it was used while PB was on?

LOL. I did, which is why I argued that Primal is still better for the reasons mentioned above. But if you don't want Primal and have apparently decided on Ice, what sort of comments/tips do you want?

Only while PB is up.

''Only while PB is up.


says enough

I'm planning on going with the Ice ancillary pool too once I get my Ill/FF to that level Hibernate fits with my plan to be the most annoying opponent possible in PvP and Ice Armour will stack with my Dispersion bubble. Plus, most importantly, it fits my character's concept best of all the pools

i'd slot hibernate with an end mod rest looks good.
