Looking for help/critique - DB/Ice

Posted

So, my DB/Ice is in the 40's now, I've been spending some time in Mids debating on the final build once I hit 47. However, I seem to have hit a snag. I can't decide what to primarily build for. As far as IO bonuses, I would *like* to have softcapped S/L pre-EA, high recharge (near-perma Hasten), and some decent damage bonuses, but those are somewhat mutually exclusive goals. (IE: To efficiently get the required S/L bonuses {on somewhat of a budget, KinCombats are out}, I'd be using Smashing Haymakers, eliminating the possibilities of the 2.5% or 3% damage bonuses from ToD/Mako's, respectively. Both of which exclude the possibilities of the 5% Recharge bonus from Crushing Impact...) As far as power picks, all 9 powers from both primary and secondary are required. The *only* power I would consider dropping is Ablating Strike, but I would still prefer to keep that as well. Power pools (including the Epic) are highly negotiable, and are also where part of my indecision comes in. Weapons Mastery keeps tempting me with Physical Perfection and Targeting Drone (I REALLY hate missing with DB), but Hibernate would also be nice. I kind of want to pick up Assault, but the only way I could squeeze that in is dropping Boxing/Tough/Weave, thus losing my only Resistance of note. Weave could be replaced by Maneuvers, and I could pick up CJ instead of Boxing, so that isn't really a concern. So... With all that said... Here's the latest revision in Mids. I still have 7 levels and two alignment changes to go before I start IO'ing, so I've got some time. >.>

Feel free to tear it apart and tell me to do something completely different. I primarily run Tanks, so I'm slightly lost when it comes to IO'ing a Stalker. lol

Since there were 80 views, and no replies, I figure people either couldn't find any issues or a better way to accomplish the goals, or (the more likely option) I was terribly unclear as to what I wanted. So... After spending countless more hours in Mids, this is what I ended up with:

So far, I'm liking it. The lack of any resistance whatsoever to S/L/E is a bit annoying, though.
