Ice/Storm 1v1?

I've recently made an Ice/Storm controller, and I was just wondering what people thought about its ability to 1v1 PvP. The reason I thought it would be a good 1v1'er is because Ice has mass amounts of -recharge, and storm has a good amount as well. Also, Ice doesn't deal the best damage, but Lighting Storm does surprisingly good damage in PvP. The reason I'm not rolling like a Psi/Em or Dark/Regen is 'cause FotM are no fun to play in my opinion. If you guys have any suggestions OR builds, please do share! Thanks!

Hmmm, I wasn't aware Dark/Regen was a FotM, I thought it was MA (if not, it prolly soon will be >.>)

But IMO, I don't think it will have enough damage, it might have enough to be annoying while some one else kills though. Also, afaik, every one gets some slow res in PvP, and when you enhance slow, it only enhances the movement, not the -recharge of slows.

I know that, BUT, slow's aren't what I'm looking for. When you're throwing Block of Ice, Chilblain, Shiver, Snow Storm, ect, any toon's recharge is going to drop like mad. Those are all spam-able powers that all do -recharge. And as far as damage, it may take a while to kill some one, but there are ways that I could improve my damage. Slotting things for damage instead of holds is extremely effective in PvP. Plus not many builds have a superior amount of cold resistance, so spamming Block of Ice, Chilblain, and having Jack Frost punching them in the head will end up hurting more than you think.

If this is for duels in the arena, not some kind of fiteklub 1v1 thing then it will be ok for damage so long as you slot correctly. I play an ice/rad and an ice/cold and still get kills, albeit slowly. It should be decent enough if played well but you will probably want to pull your hair out after retoggling 'cane + SS (and AA if you take it also!) all the time.
