It would be helpful if you could post your current build to give people something to start with. If you don't have it in Mids' already, try using Titan Sentinel to export it to Mids' and then post it here.
Also, if you have some specific goals for the build, or specific powers you do or don't want, knowing that would be useful too.

The no travel power thing is from players taking advantage of Ninja/Beast Run, as well as Jet Packs to get around. This frees up power picks and, IMO, travel powers are unnecessary except for concept and the current state of PVP. |

Moving on, as Fin said, toss something together and post it and we can take a look at what could be done better/differently depending on what you want to do with the build.
Some points for anything Ice/*:
- softcapping s/l/e/n defense without the use of Energy Absorption - or potentially with just 1 target of EA. This is pretty easy to do.
- global recharge... getting enough to perma Hoarfrost is nice. Going past perma is better if you like to use it for your heal.
- hit points. you want enough so that Hoarfrost will hard cap your HP when you use it.
- regen. I always shoot for at least 1% hp/sec (roughly 240% regen in Mids)
Those four points are just for building with IOs and set bonuses. Your actual power picks can also increase your effectiveness. Crossing over to Red-side and picking up Soul Mastery for your epic pool can do 2 major things for Ice/*. 1) Gloom is an awesome ST attack and is great for filling out chains in sets that need it. 2) Darkest Night, which you might think is just for the -tohit, but actually it is for the -dmg to stack with CE (DN+CE = 35% dmg debuff).
Those are really the main points of advice I can give. Again, just try putting something together and let us take a look
SG: Guadians of Paragon - VG: Paragon's Darkness
The Usual Suspects: Fimboolvetr (Icer Tank), Tsukiyomi (Mind/Psi/Ice Dom), Smiting Dragon (Dm/Sr Scrap), Widow Mortis (NW)
Up and Comers: Ameterasu (Km/Reg Scrap), Arrhymian (Elec/Nin Stalk), TDMKII (Bot/Traps MM)
Well this is all I have thought of so far, I haven't considered what to do slot wise. I am willing to switch villain to get gloom etc then switch back.
Also I have ninja run etc, so I don't need the travel power. So if someone would be willing to help me with slotting, maybe even give me a mid build with IOs etc, price is not an issue.
I would be very grateful.

You need to do a non-legacy build; with inherent Stamina you'll have four more powers to play with and will definitely have room for a travel power if you want one.
Just glancing over what you have so far, note that the following powers should be taken ASAP since you'll want to have them if you ever exemp:
KoB
Rage
Energy Absorption
Foot Stomp
Of the powers you've taken early in the current build, Icicles, Boxing, Tough and Weave could all easily be delayed until later if you need the room.

Forgot I had an ice/ss build lying around from another thread. I think the OP in that thread needed a travel power so that is why it has one. Otherwise the build hits all the points I would want it to hit.

Hey everyone, I have been tinkering around and definitely looking around for a good Ice/SS build.
I have had my account since the game came out and this is my first character ever made, he is in need a respec really bad.
If someone could point me in the right direction or provide a build I would be really grateful. I just came back to the game so I am not sure what to do in terms of slots, or even what incarnates etc to use at this point. Thanks in advance.
I have looked around, I have noticed a lot of tank builds without travel powers. Honestly that is fine, okay but I could really use some help I have no idea what to do at this point. I want a really solid build this time around.
