my ill/cold has snow storm and hover, hoverblasting a enemy thats grounded from the snow storm makes things easier
frostwork is nice to help keep the phantasm alive and good set mule
flash is another good set mule and useful if you start getting overwhelmed for need to lock down a bunch of guys
my ill/cold didnt take any of the leaderships cause it wasnt needed, the massive -resist you do makes up for the slightly lack of dmg, and with the phantasm being retarded running into melee, definitly not worth it, if they fix the AI issues then it might be nice to have for phantasm

For some reason I never noticed or paid attention to the -1.6 fly component of Snow Storm!
I'm leaning towards taking Snow Storm now.
While the -Recharge is resisted by AVs, the overall effect of Snow Storm is great for large groups of foes. If you run the ITF, Snow Storm is one of the most effective control powers on that TF due to the "shout" that causes them to resist most other kinds of control . . . but not slow or -Recharge.
I view Snow Storm as a kind of AoE control with -Recharge, -Runspeed and -Fly. Illusion is lacking enough in AoE Control that I feel Snow Storm is worthwhile on my Ill/Cold. But then, I have Flash, too. I don't have Leadership or Frostwork.

How useful is Snow Storm when fighting AVs or GMs?
I don't currently have it in my build and am trying to decide if I should add it.
I have one power slot that I could swap around while still keeping Range Soft Cap, my dps, stealth, and enough Rech for Perma PA, HL and 15s Sleet.
Trying to decide between:
Wonder what other ill/cold players think?
