You could pretty easily take out one of the accuracy enhancements in benumb. You really need to max out sleet's recharge too.
I'd go with just the base slot (1 endred) in Snow Storm.
If anything in the area isn't already at the speed floor I'd hazard to say you can't get it there even with tossing Snow Storm into the mix. Nearly every attack you have is -rech and -spd (Benumb and Freeze Ray don't, unless you want to call Freeze Ray's hold the ultimate -spd)
If you want to hit the soft cap for ranged, give priority to slotting sets for +def (ranged) and not +rech. I'm looking at the Basilisk's in Freeze Ray in particular. I'd shuffle slots and look to get a full 6 slot with Lockdown in there instead.
Like vernichterhelge posted in his build I'd move slots to get 6 slots in those Thunderstrikes.
If you use Benumb on targets while you are effected by your own buffs (PBU, Aim) or the target is hit by your debuffs (Sleet, Infrigidate) or similarly effected by teammates you can readily have enough global accuracy to not need any accuracy slotted in Benumb itself (i.e. could go with 3 recharge).
Pretty much no matter what the overall build priorities (recharge vs ranged defense vs other) you want to maximize recharge in Benumb, Sleet, Heat Loss and in this case PBU.
Here's one possibility when CC is reworked with some of those thoughts in mind:

@Portland Underground
I've been working on a build that (although expensive because of the purps and lotgs (there are no pvp IOs though) hits the soft cap on ranged def as well as good rech and acc (6 sec gap on benumb, 21 sec gap on heat loss, and about a 10 second overlap on sleet with hasten running (which has a 16 sec gap itself)). It's quite a bit different from the build you posted BaldDonn but maybe you can get some ideas from it - I took psy mastery for the set mules as well as the utility (aoe sleep, decent damage st hold, psy dam res) - the confuse and sleep purp sets are *relatively* cheap in comparison to other sets and give awesome bonuses like 5% ranged def and a couple hefty rech bonuses. Here it is - hopefully it'll help give you some ideas (also, at the risk of sounding like I'm highjacking the thread (which I'm not trying to), if you or anyone else has criticisms of my build, I'm all ears as well).

Christmas Carroll just hit level 47 and I've begun to look into IO sets for her.
CC is a concept/theme toon (hence the female character) and has been a long time in the making (three years) as she only gets played during the Winter Event. But with her being so close to 50 now I think she may be around a little longer this year.
CC is a PvE only character and works well in teams but also solo's quite a bit as well.
I'm trying to get her as close to the soft cap v. ranged as possible with PBU active. I've taken the guide's of Silas and Turbo Ski into account and have only made modest changes to fit my play style.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and any pointers you could offer would be greatly appreciated!!
