Ice is really bad. Go Sonic, Rad, or Fire.

Go fire...i did a test recently and fire does way more DPS then sonic ever will. I dont really know how Rad blast would fair, but i know the animation times on sonic are just too long.

I honestly think ice would do better then sonic if you proc it out. Ice does not have crazy dmg, but with AM, Assualt, and some dmg bonuses you can get up to about 60% dmg buff. With ice fast animations times, it might be worth it. I know ed said he beat a psi blaster with his ice/rad, and he was just messing around and i doubt he has it proc out. I would have to test it..but i'm sure i could make it work if i really wanted to use ice. Its just going to cost you a small fortune to do it. Ill come up with a build to see.

my ice/rad was really dominant in zones before the i13 apocalypse, but now i wouldn't bother. fire/sonic/rad or even archery would be better.

The proc options for Ice are nice and all but when you start factoring in the stacking -res from Sonic I'm not sure if Ice really competes anymore. Sure you can get some kills with it, it just takes a lot longer than other sets.

The thing is that when using a rad with EF you are anyways at the -res cap(not sure how it works) so anything with quicker animations will be best.

The -res cap is something like -400 percent (unless they changed it). Corruptor EF is a resisted and further diminished -20%. |

A rad/rad could be fairly decent - as could a fire/rad.

Is that with DR or not?? I'm pretty sure it's not that high with DR. Going to test it when i get on today with my sonic/rad.

just go into rest and see what your resistence is while in a pvp zone, if that doesn't hit cap nothing will solo.

PvP Redux is discontinued, for obvious reasons. Thanks to everyone who helped and joined.
What are you talking about Sentry
hehe, before i quit 2 years ago my ice/rad corr was at lvl 30 something and was a monster in SC, i got curious about a week ago and took him out for a spin. i think i will leave him on the shelf for a little while longer. but... again, as we all know, damn near any toon nowadays will work in a pvp zone, all depends on how much mula you are willing to spend. i say roll the fire, its animations are right on par with teh ice trowahz except for flares, which got a huge damage buff so...
I was thinking Ice/Rad for PvP, i really want ice, but is there a better secondary for them?
