Ice/Rad Pvp build help wanted

Hey all

Always gone for brutes/scrappers in pvp, wanted to try a ranged AT and decided for a ice/rad. I'm a bit lost though, both when it comes to powers to take and how to slot them. Any help is much appreciated.


Here's what i've got to 30 for pvp in Sirens Call.

22) --> Enervating Field==> Empty(22)
24) --> Lingering Radiation==> Empty(24)
26) --> Bitter Freeze Ray==> Empty(26)
28) --> Choking Cloud==> Empty(28)
30) --> Acrobatics==> Empty(30)
---------------------------------------------
01) --> Sprint==> Empty(1)
01) --> Brawl==> Empty(1)
01) --> Scourge==> Empty(1)
02) --> Rest==> Empty(2)
---------------------------------------------


Now for the questions part of the post:

1. Choking cloud, any use in pvp?
2. Should I bother with any of the holds? I'm not a controller and if I remember correctly you need to stack even more holds since corrs have lower mag than trollers so is it worth it?
3. Ice Blast is a low dmg attack, worth taking for stacking slow or get something else instead of it?
4. Should I take Ice storm for added slowness or does the debuffs and regular attacks take care of that for me?
5. Should I take Ice storm for added dmg? When the enemies have been slowed to max they should get hit for most of the dmg from the storm and its one of the bigger hitters in the set if all ticks land.
6. Is hasten needed for a corr in pvp? I have it on all my other pvp toons before 30 to give them that extra umpf in damage or to stack holds while its going .
7. Slotting 2 or 3 accs in attacks? When someone is debuffed im sure 2 or even 1 acc will do the trick but if you're fighting a group of people not all can be debuffed so are 3 accs needed?
8. Aid self for a corr, do you have time to heal yourself? Most time when I pvp with my scrapper corrs die so fast they dont have time to fire of a self heal if they have one.
9. Slot any attacks for slow or is this not needed?

Alot of questions so if you have any or all answers, dont hesitate

1) No drop for hasten.
2) Freeze Ray is a great hold that stacks quickly 2 breaks acrobatics this or super speed (drop BFR for BF because of its long activation time)
3) Ice bolt, Ice blast, Bitter Ice blast is the best ranged attack chain in game all 3 are must h\ves.
4) 5) Better powers than Ice Storm.
6) Yes you will want hasten.
7) 2 Accuracies and Aim is sufficient.
8) Wouldnt bother with it on a Rad
9) 2 Acc 3 Dam 1 End Red is how I would slot attacks

Will prob stop at 32 to do battle in Sirens, if I like the guy I might take him higher.
Will be using AM and Hasten togheter, that only gives me 50 seconds of downtime without it and 120 seconds of AM+Hasten goodness which is quite nice. Thats why both are 3 slotted for recharge.

SJ slotted with 2 end redux since its the heaviest toggle I have and it will most likely be on most of the time. I reckon as a corr you gotta move or you're an easy target.

Would like more slots for a few powers but its just not possible at this level, will have to get to that later.

Another health slotted in Radiant Aura only gives 2% more heal so i stopped at 2 at the moment. Would like 1 or 2 end redux in it though since its a quite heavy power if used alot.

A third acc debuff in RI gives another 3% acc debuff and thats why its only 2 slotted for acc now.

If anyone has any pointers here it would be appreciated.

You should prolly get superspeed instead of blizzard. If you get hit by a -jump power, you have no means of escaping.

You have a self heal which means swift > health.

I wont have my 32 power in Sirens call since its 30 max, its just there to show my level.

The added run/fly speed from swift affects nothing since I dont have SS or Fly. Health never affects much on a squishy, heal or no heal so its just a personal preference.

This is a truly fun toon to play, wish i had tried a corruptor sooner
Just got LR and the slow from it is amazing. Don't have acrobatics yet but as soon as i get it I don't have to worry as much about annoying knockbacks/downs all the time. Few more levels to grind out first though
