Then I made a Ice/MM who I couldn't put down until lvl 36 (dual pistols was released) and while he has barely been touched he is still amazing to play, just I have too many /Mental blasters, all with relatively the same builds so he's on hold.
I have to say that I really liked the Ice/MM (Maybe more then the /Elec, Psy Scream is a boon to AoE dmg).

Zero Defex: DP/MM//Mace Blaster

I assume they will recognize futile just as accurately.

Ice/Elec is amazing for Blizzard > Cab > Power Sink alone.
Ice/Fire is the reverse of the classic Fire/Ice. It is nearly as survivable and puts out a whole lot more damage as it makes up for Ice/'s lack of AoE damage.
Ice/Energy with decent range slotting and Alpha Cardiac lets you hit long range with your AoE (with Posi 5 slotted [all but the proc] and a HO centriole and boost range, Frost Breath range - 78.22, Ice Storm and Blizzard range - 117.3)
Ice/???/Ice gives you access to Hibernate you can annoy a bunch of mobs from around a corner, drop Ice storm where you are standing, Blizzard > Cab > Hibernate and giggle as stuff hits the invulnerable you for too long for them to run out of the Ice Storm + Blizzard combo.
Ice/????/ and any PPP will give you an AoE Immob to keep stuff from moving out of your Ice storm and Blizzard.
There really isn't a bad combo with Ice/, the only caveat is that there isn't much synergy with /Dev or /Dark.

Thank you both for the feedback! One quick questions (probably a dumn one lol), in the "Blizzard > Cab > Hibernate" chain, what is 'Cab'?

Probably Catch a Breath, meaning a blue inspiration. Usually seen as CaB.

This. Blizzard crashes your endurance bar. A Catch a Breath is enough blue to use Power Sink or Hibernate both of which will replenish your endurance.
