Hello All,

What do you think about this build? Assume enhancments change through career. The aim is to maximise on single target damage and have a very manoverable and flexible build for both PvE and PvP.

Once I move beyond DO's the 4x Dam in the two blasts will become 3x Dam 2x Acc 1x End

Using your build as a template I would reorder it to something like this:

I've dropped BFR as its activation time is too long so as a second hold I've got the epic one from Mu mastery, this also gives you access to the epic shield

I've delayed hasten to allow you to get stamina at lvl 20 and speed boost, most of my experience on mine is duoing with various brutes you'll level so much quicker with SB

If you want to take hover I would slot it 3 speed or not both at all.

I'm intrested by the teleport foe + ice storm + siphon speed combo could be very evil

Not sure how much usage you will get from repel but I must admit I've never taken it.

If you are going for PvP manuevability, I would fit Inertial Reduction in there. Cant be toggle dropped, no movement supression on attacking... Its a PvP'ers dream really.

Thanks for the detailled response. I will definately be dropping BFR as you mentioned and then trying to fit Inertial Reduction in as well.

I am still keen to get Haste at six so that I can combine it and Siphon Speed asap at lvl 10. Stacking multiple SS is hugely powerful in PvE and will hopefully make levelling a much quicker process.

One thing I have noticed, having got Haste is the huge end demands already with just my two basic blasts so I will have to include more end redux earlier on.

I have a question on Bitter Ice Blast. Is it one of those very short range blasts or not? If it is does the range enhancer make much difference and if so how many of them should I include?

An important point. Why is Speed Boost slotted with Recharge Reduction?

Soz, I'm completely ignorant about Speed Boost and the slotting was really a bit of an after-thought. I pressume that End Mods are the way to go and that the recharge on it is pretty reasonable if I don't need recharge redux in there?

Yes. 2-3 EndMods is all it needs.

Your build is simlur to my ice/kin currently at 32
BiB is one of those powers thats short range and even a range enh won't help much.
One thing you will find out is that ice seems to have bad Acc which is its penalty for having good damage so i would recommend 2 acc in attacks as that 4th dmg enh isn't doing a whole lot.[Edit: DoH i just noticed the big bold bit at the bottom .. please excuse me i'll get my coat]
Freeze Ray you'll find you use alot and recharges just fine with hasten/SS and will stack very nicely if slotted with 3 hold enhs.
My advice is drop Repel and BFR and take Tactics .. you'll thank me later

....which is the typically way of slotting it. For PvP I would probably go 2 end mod, 2 run speed, 2 range....but as Okton said...the end mods will do fine

One thing I don't understand though...why all the end reds in your powers? I can understand up till Transference but after that theres really no need.

I figured that in full on frezied mode, 3x Super Speed and Hastened I would be burning end at an enormous rate.

And you will but with Transference it isn't a problem.

Slot it either 2 acc, 1 rech, 3 end mod or 2 acc, 2 rech,2 end mod according to your playstyle.
