Ice/rad IO build

I decided to dust off my old ice/rad controller (with decent damage available now through earth mastery, yay for seismic smash!) and I'm planning to IO him out.

Plan is to get as much +rech as cheap as possible and without gimping the build.

The following build is what I've planned so far, only expensive set being positron's blast. I'm not yet 100% sure whether I'm taking acro + flash freeze (cheap 6.25% rech and a panic button) or maneuvers (KB prot mule) + tactics (5% rech).

After thinking about it a bit, I'd like to keep flash freeze. I dont believe tactics will do much for me with -40% def available through rad debuffs.

Also I like to sleep the mob, then drop debuffs + ice slick and jump in the middle of the enemy to spam fissure. So far the combination of stun/KD/-rech/-speed/radiation/confuse has worked very well to keep mobs locked down.

Yeah, Tactics won't be really useful with all the debuffs. I've already tried it before.

Is there any specific Bonus you are after while slotting IOs? I recommend putting Luck of the Gambler +Recharge on Combat Jumping and Rock Armor.

I'm mostly interested in +rech bonuses. I'd use LotG +rech but as I said in the first post goal is to achieve as high +rech as possible with minimal use of expensive sets (i.e no LoTG).

i´m going for basilisks gaze on mine and will have perma am with only 1 purple set(confuse in fog)

I'd use basilisk/LotG as well if they didnt cost that much...

Run a few TFs and you should be able to buy yourself a few LoGs mate. I had over 900 merits in 1 month, roughly 5 TFs per week. Falsey likes merits.

Edit: One minor suggestion: Get both Grav Anchor and Devastation procs and put'em into Chillbain - makes it a quite reliable pseudo-hold.

Doesn't Arctic Air take the purple confuse set? Thats cheap as chips.

i have bunch of basilisks gaze but they were cheap when they first arrived. Also my build has no lotg´s.

But basilisk isnt cheap anymore

Good point on the purple set, I have that on 2 or 3 of my toons and had totally ignored it for some reason.

LotG +rech should be easy to get using Merits.

Now... Basilisk... you'll need 60MM for each set.

I dont have much time at the moment for TFs so expensive items (inf or merit wise) will have to be ignored. Too busy with school to do enough TFs for expensive stuff
