I picked up this build from someone about a year ago and just pretty much made it i19 compliant.

I am torn for the last 3 one slotted powers.. I was considering Aid Other, Aid Self and Block of Ice for 1 hold ( I've done enough LGTF without holds )

Or Block of Ice, Shiver and Ice Storm. I'm leaning towards the first just because I have no self heal and would have to rely on not getting hit or inspirations.. Granted if my defenses fall apart healing will be difficult with all the hits.

Nonetheless here is the build
