Ice/Sonic weirdo controller!


Alvan

Hi. My name is Augury, and I like abusing containment to make mini-scrapper/tanks out of controllers. I got a fire/kin to level 36 as proof of concept, but the lack of mez resist, and reliance on fire imps and fulcrum shift bothered me a lot.

So I'm gonna start over, this time trying an Ice/Sonic. Build below! The IOs are probably unreasonable unless I have tons of inf to get them all, so I guess I'll have to level my fire/kin to 50 to scavenge inf for them. Still, it'll be a nice little project:

EDIT: Before anyone asks, I just like jump kick, okay!? D:<

My name is Alvan, and I approve the goals of this project.

I'd probably go with damages over immobs on Chilblain and Holds over damage on Block of Ice, but that's just me and my obsession with Holding things. And I'm usually uncaring about others, so I'd probably drop the second interrupt reduction from Aid Other (and put it in Blain for more damage). Otherwise I think this looks really nice

Well the logic for slotting Block of Ice as an attack was... well, I needed an attack! When I played my fire/kin I hardly ever had the powers or time for proper control coupled with the fact that containment is harder to set with a hold than an immob, I slotted Chilblain to make it easier to get containment. Don't think it would work quite so well the other way around.

Glad someone approves of it though!

I just respec'd my ice/rad having finally hit 50...I'm only just getting into slotting IO sets (concentrating on recovery first as he's a total End-hog) so most of my powers are common IOs.

In Block of Ice I have: 2xRecharge 1xAcc 1xDamage 2xHold

It hardly ever misses, the hold time is pretty good, it's very spammable and it does a bit of damage (about 50 without containment). It was my main damage along with the Vet reward Axe until I got the pet.
