Ice/Fire build for Ranged Defense

DSlice · 02-12-2010 07:40 PM

I'm looking for a build for my Ice/Fire/Ice blaster that has the most ranged defense it can get, doesnt have to be soft capped. I have tried to get an emulation of windows on my mac to run Mid's but I have not succeeded. I will list the powers I would like but feel free to make any changes you think will work better. I would greatly appreciate any builds or suggestions. Thanks.

Ice:
Icebolt
Ice blast
Aim
Bitter Ice Blast
Ice Storm
Blizzard (maybe)
Freeze Ray
Bitter Freeze Ray

Fire:
Ring of Fire
Fire Sword
FSC
Build Up
Consume

Pools:
Hasten
Hurdle/swift
Health
Stamina
Hover
Fly
Maneuvers

Epic:
Snow Storm
Frozen Armor
Hibernate
Hoarfrost

I'm a Mac user, no Mid's for me

Was pretty easy to Soft Cap this, but the Global Recharge (Haste) bonus on this build is poor so I am sure it can be improved. But it shows you the basic sets you want to use. Built in MIDS dynamically so the level up slot order can probably be improved too. I have not personally played these power sets so am not sure what the best slotting is where choices between a damage set and a secondary effect were available and both had ranged defense, so pretty much favored damage except of course endurance and recharge in consume. A second build that looks better to me using Flash Freeze in place of Snow Storm follows.

PS: Trap of the Hunter (not used) is the Immobilize Ranged Defense set but Ring of Fire appears to do so much damage I went with Thunderstrike, which has better defense too.
