I'm at work and bored, nothing to do, I decided to play with some controller builds and I came with a nice one for an ice/storm/ice thematic character! Note that the build is just a "dream" build and would cost at least 4 billions to be made. (PvP 3% def IO + 4 epic sets + 4 LotG + Miracle and numina unique + 6 cytosqueletons )

The build contains:

- 95% recharge time (Four seconds from perma hasten.)
- Ranged def soft cap. (45% exactly.)
- Lethal/Smash soft cap. (45,7%)
- Panic button up every minute. (hibernate)

Means that you get a damn nice recharge while ranged attacks will rarely hit you, and some aoe attacks like shrikens, full auto, or other lethal/smash attack will also not hit you. Hurricane keeps mellees away, and if you stack the tohit debuff with your 35% energy/negative defense, you are most likely going to avoid a damn good amount of damage types in the game.

Unfortunatelly the build lacks a self heal, but with hibernate up so often you can use it between fights while your team regroups or even in the middle of the fight after using some of your controls/debuffs.

Downside:
Arctic Air + Steam myst + CJ + Snow Storm + Hurricane + Weave + Frozen armor..
Total of: 2,27 endurance usage per second with everything up. (Which is usually overkill, you don't need and most likely wont have everything up all the time.) The endurance recovery of the character, with accolades is 3,57 end/s, which leaves only 1,3 end/s to play with on worse scenario.

Ps.: I could skip arctic air usage almost completely playing this character because hurricane knocks everything out of it anyway, but I needed the 5% ranged def and the 10% recharge as set bonuses.



SHUT UP PANIKAZE!! WHERE IS THE BUILD?!


calm down... there we go...

For the Glacier lovers, you can put it instead of frostbreath, and slot with the epic hold set. Or put tornado there instead with the epic stun set and use it with frostbite.


There, and before someone post something like: "You don't need all this on a controller to be effective, the set with SO's is enough to be playable by most of the game content and bla bla bla bla, you could use those 4 billions to make 10 characters that can be more effective than this and even solo AVs, which this one cannot!"

--- I am /NOT/ willing to make this toon, it's just a build play to an "untouchable" ice themed controller. --


^^ Now, rate it, and feel free to post your own controllers uber defensive builds!!

The thing I see right from the start, is pretty low accuracy in powers without any accuracy set bonuses. I know you have freezing rain, but I'd still want more accuracy all the way around than is in the build. Unless you're only interested in fighting even cons or lower with it.

Set bonuses total:
- 57% Enhancement(Accuracy)

Isn't enough? :P

That is enough to hit +1 with no accuracy on most powers, but each power is slotted with at least 43% accuracy, giving it a total of 100%, on mids, all powers are at least on 150%+ accuracy.

On top of freezing rain -def, I think that's pretty much enough to hit +3 without trouble.
