only tips i can see are maybe carry alot of greens, get phase, maybe even get aidself...
Get tesla cage is does decent -recov...
You want lots of hp, acc, and recharge.

I dunno if it's me...but I just can't get this build to work "well" within the new pvp. The effectiveness to slow movement speed and -rech just aren't what they used to be and played a large role in it's survivability. Another thing is the inability to get a good combination of a self heal, perception, phase (phase or hiber) power, and enough kb protection. |

Everything I've played against seems to do more damage then it can dish out, so it feels like i'm constantly playing defensive.
I'd like to know what your build end's up being....
Targets don't use much end when they never attack...
IMO the reason /thermal works so well is because it doesn't impede your target, they go full out trying to kill you and next thing they know they are flatlined and going nowhere. Elec/kin works similarly in that regard as /kin doesn't really hinder the target.
IMO elec is attrition based and so is /cold, but they aren't the same type or even symbiotic types of attrition. I'm sure some people can make the build work though.
Elec you want your target attacking lots so they drain themselves really fast, so ideally you pair it with something that will keep you alive while they go all out on you. Even better if that pairing also helps drain them faster (ie therm, kin)
Cold you want your target to cease all attacks due to being hammered with -rech because cold has limited survivability when taking a lot of incoming damage.
To me they just don't seem like a very good match up.
I pvp'd a /cold once and my attacks recharge were so debuffed that i couldnt attack if i wanted to so all i could do was stand there. Elec may not be the best paired with it, tho. Time will tell i guess. Recharge shouldnt be a problem, im getting purps while i pl her.

did you have a winters gift and how much global rech did you have with the toon you fought the cold with.

i run a staminaless cold/ice def, and i also have an elec/cold corr, so i know the 2 fairly well. but for your def, you can run staminaless easily, doin this will allow you to have ss/sj/phase/aid self. for your epic id go with power mastery for CP/PBU and TF. youll be awesome at sappn endo, but don think your goin to do any great damage.
@The REAL Chop
My teachers always told me to follow my dreams. To bad they are all Nightmares.
So, it's prolly a better pve build than pvp. I'm enjoying so far in pve. We'll see.
