Here's a first pass at maxing the ranged and aoe defense. It is soft capped vs those positions and probable playable but ... I'd likely emphasize recharge over defense myself.

A cold/ice and for that matter a storm/ice needs the triple entente of Ice Storm, Sleet/Freezing Rain, and Blizzard. Endless death by DoT. DoTs that can be activated from a position with no line of sight.

Both builds look pretty good but I think you are right, the recharge build looks stronger. Hopefully I can keep ice storm/blizzard/sleet up near constantly
Quote:
Ice storm and sleet can be up reasonably for every group. Blizzard is a nuke and will take longer to recharge, but that's ok since some groups are spread all over, or there aren't really spawns 'nuke worthy'; good old sleet and ice storm will do fine. |

Once you get sleet, you will want to lead off with that on the well-clumped groups or as many as you can hit since it: a) knocks them on their butt b) debuff defense and resistance c)slows the group from fleeing.

I am still not sure which build to go with though. On the one hand, dying is one of my pet peeves which is why i generally play melee guys. But, having awesome recharge on a cold/cold especially would be great. I am currently leaning towards the recharge and just working to not draw aggro. I am assuming this is hard to do though with sleet/ice storm?

You can minimize aggro with the line of site, and sleet leading off reduces aggro by the knockdown feature.

What do you think about tking the run speed enh (gift of the ancients) out of manuevers and putting in a lotg: 7.5 and taking out grant invis. Then, instead of grant invis put in frostwork or maybe charged armor
Arctic Fog is a nice sized stealth power. Having Grant Invisibility would not be paramount in my opinion. I am a fan of charged armor - smashing, lethal, and energy resist. A lot of attacks come under the umbrella of energy.
I like the build without fighting better in my own opinion. I took freeze ray on my Cold/Ice and for the life of me, I can't see what is in the build to replace to take it other than leadership...

Here is a new build that I have been playing with & love it. I buff the team (re-buff when needed), then what? I have been running a lot of AE missions with some friends, trying to get some extra cash to buy some "nicer" sets (purps). So, I went with more AoE damge. I activate aim, run up to the mob & cast Soul Drain (adding even more +damge & +to-hit buff), cast sleet (to debuff my mob & ticks for 1 damage), cast ice storm (which ticks from anywhere between 2-5 damage), luanch an ice breath at the mob, & if the mob is big enough, cast Blizzard. I can usually keep sleet & ice storm casted because of the recharge & sometimes can do some pretty sweet damage (I usually run with a fire/kin, which adds more damage because of Fulcrum).
Global Name is @NoDoz if you have any questions.

I put GI in there, but yes you could put almost anything else in there just as easily that doesn't require slotting to be effective. In addition to Frostworks or Charged Armor some other possibilities include Hurdle or Combat Jumping. The build as is has very little vertical ability outside of always keeping a temp power handy. CJ could also take the LotG +7.5%. Or for that matter put Hover in for vertical ability.|

The drawback to removing one of the GotA set is you lose the 4 slot bonus, the +1.8 endurance. I wanted to build for extra endurance. While under the buff of Heat Loss I've used Blizzard without loss of one or more toggles. I believe (and maybe someone can confirm or refute) that this is because the -100% end loss from the nuke is from my base endurance (not total), meaning Blizzard doesn't drop my endurance to 0.0 but to somewhat more .. then the -1000% recovery debuff hits and unless I'm lucky with server tics of +end or popping blues quick the remaining endurance rapidly burns away (and results in toggle dropping anyway). More extra end the build has the more likely I am to not lose toggles post Nuke.
As for having or not having Freeze Ray in there, I'd see if I could fit it in the build. It's not in this build mostly because it's based on my live build where I'm almost always teamed with a friend also running a Cold/Ice. Things are so debuffed and slowed that the hold aspect (I had Freeze Ray initially) I found to be largely wasted, the foes were effectively "held" anyway by the massive -spd and -rech they are under from the get go.
Two Cold/Ices should be illegal in most states for being extra uber.

Dis is most true! Worse there's frequently a Kin/Ice Defender teamed with us as well. The 3 of us decided to try tackling Jack in Croatoa one morning when we were about 30th. It was apparently almost immediately Jack was in deep trouble. Then the 3 of us took on Eochai and a 2nd Jack for extra felony uberness.

As uber as cold/ice defenders are, its even better as a corruptor.

Basically I just made a cold/cold defender because i have seen some that really kick ***. I am bad with mids though so I am looking for a build that has good defense primarily to ranged/aoe. good recharge would also be nice.
