Nice name there Rangle. 
I am leveling up a Time/Ice (at 41 atm) and I have a question for ya. You have the Dark Watchers proc in your build, have you slotted it yet?
I just placed it and the Deflated Ego proc in mine as I was experiencing not much in the way of damage. Wow, did that change. Those procs have made me the central target of mobs now... or it seems that way to me. I haven't played with a proper tank since putting em in, but I might need one or a respec till I get my ranged defenses up.
I just started the IO process on mine and you might want to make that proc one of the last pieces you put in.
I haven't begun to really IO this toon. I think I've slotted the Miracle Unique, and not much else. (As for attention on this toon, I get tons of it already.) I'll certainly think about slotting the Dark Watcher's proc later, rather then sooner, when I finally get around to IOing this toon.

From personal experience of running with you rangle, you were doing smashingly. Also, I think dark will do better for you then some than it did for me. Especially with the soul drain, em the glorious soul drain 
Dreaded Wail hits things freakin' hard.. i like to hit things freakin' hard... so.. id go Wail... SAVE THE WAILS!!!! - Solar_Lunata
In the build, Soul Drain and Hail of Bullets have nearly the same recharge...

If it makes you happy, that's all that matters.
If you want other builds to look at, my build is in my sig, as well as several other builds in the archives in my sig.

Just an update, made it to 50. I've found that the Dark Watchers proc will cause you to have a decent taunt aura and that the mobs will come a runnin (really slowly |

). Adding in OG gives a nice amount of extra control but with the taunt running you can dent your health bar pretty fast, so get your HP up fast. I've been running +1/+8 on missions without too many issues as long as I have a couple break frees and purples on hand. I ended up taking the whole Dark Mastery set and it fits in very well with Time/ .
Sounds like you're having fun. I've gotten mine up to lvl 45 ish. I'll eventually get the character Clarion to cover the need for break frees.

Has any tool changed defs as much as clarion has recently?
A couple of weeks ago I was joking with someone about character names. Well, one bounced back up at my altitis and stuck. Hence "A Rangle In Time", a Time Manip/Dual Pistols Defender was created.
Although the damage has been a bit mediocre so far, at least for me, the character's been a lot of fun to play. As an example: over the weekend I was teamed with a slightly hesitant tank player for a while, so I would pop a break-free and then leap into mobs. With Farsight and Combat Jumping giving me defenses in the low 20s, plus the ~24% -to hit from Time's Juncture I could happily sit inside large mobs without dying. If I did take dmg, Temporal Mending and Chrono Shift to the rescue!
He's currently in the high 30s, so I do have Oppressive Gloom, and the character has one or two IOs so far, if that. Anyway, here's the build I'm going to use as a starting point. I chose not to go with the Power Mastery/Power build up combination to get the character to soft cap as I thought Dark Mastery would fit the concept better. Hope you find it entertaining.
