For starters I just want to say that this is a general overview. There's no slotting here and I'm going to assume this is an SO or generic IO build for the moment. If you're looking for Set IO advice I'll need some kind of specific goal in mind to help you out with that (common specific goals include recharge, soft-cap defense and 'frankenslotting' which aims for making the individual powers very strong but gives up an overall set bonus goal to do that).

That said, here's my general comments on this:

  • Ice Patch. This is a very potent power and probably one of the big reasons to take Ice Manipulation at all. I would very strongly recommend taking this power. Or, if there's a particular reason you've chosen not to take Ice Patch (doesn't fit concept, etc), it would be helpful to know that.
  • Overslotted Build Up and Aim. Unless you are planning on slotting IO Sets, there's not much point in slotting anything other than Recharge in Build Up and Aim, so you shouldn't need more than two or three slots for each power. Keep in mind that once you reach SO levels you only get good value from the first three or so enhancements (see also: Enhancement Diversification)
  • Slotting. Hard to say much here since this is a blank build, but I'd recommend 1-2 Accuracies, 2-3 Damage, 1-2 Endurance Reduction and 1-2 Recharge for attacks. Yes, that adds up to more than six, so you'll need to make some decisions, a lot of which will likely be based on playstyle. For example, if you find yourself often running out of endurance, you probably need more Endurance Reduction in your major attacks than you have.
  • Inventions. I'm not sure if you're planning on going with Inventions for this build or not, but if so I'd strongly recommend trying out a frankenslotting approach (particularly when leveling up) as this is usually fairly cheap in terms of Market and crafting costs and very effective.

I hope all that was helpful, feel free to reply/repost and I'd be happy to help you further, as I'm sure would many others around here.

OK i modified the build more. So let me know if anything looks better put in another place. This is meant to be a survivability leveling build, so i did not add enhancements yet. Ill wait to do that for when i make a end game build.
