In theory it should be a very solid combo. Earth has lock down and def debuff in spades. Ice Assault has some nice powers all with some nice -rech. It also gets a good -damage aura.
EQ will be vital in helping your survival in melee. Slotted for -to hit, with enemies flopping adding all that -rech and a decent -dam. Even better with power boost!!!
So You get every kind of debuff except for regen/recov debuffs.
Best part stoney will be right there in melee with you.
Oh yeah your last ice power has a serious -to hit which goes well with EQ for making even tough enemies hit you less.
In short you got lock downs a plenty, the ability to wreck an enemies recharge, minor damage debuffage, all with a fairly hard hitting and obscure damage type (cold not heavily resisted).
Saga, I really appreciate the insight man. Thanks a lot.

No problem, just remember that the AOE immob Stone Cages, wrecks the Flop from EQ for 10 seconds. On a team it may not be so much of a worry if stuff is dying fast. But I've seen many a dom spam their AOE immob on top of EQ and Ice Slick.
Good luck! You should have a blast with that combo.
Gah, sorry. Have to correct an error. Ice Assualt does not have the -dam power. I was thinking of a different set. Apologies for misleading on that regards.
Earthquake + Chilling Embrace should just about shut down mobs before you even begin to actually apply hard control.

Good to see you and surprised they let you off the PvP forums to come over here. Thanks for that info as well and...
this build any good for PvP?
It doesn't seem like /Ice has much going for it but I already rolled a Mind/Nrg in mids and hate using the same powersets over and over. So with the sets that have Power Boost, /Ice seemed more viable then /Earth if i decided to run this guy through zones later.
I can't play right now, but I'd like to enjoy something in PvE and have it be somewhat viable for PvP possibly at a later time. Let me know what you think.

Was thinking about running an "elemental" build when I'm able to play again and have been dabbling with it on Mids. Wanted a secondary with Power Boost, have played /Nrg already and not interested in /Earth at the moment. Anyone have insight on this combination? Thanks in advance.
