Build Up is something I use when I remember I have it.
Location powers (except Dimension Shift) are something I use as often as possible.
I can haz power swap?

How about giving the dom version of sleet (You know, double recharge FULL DEBUFF) in ice mastery since they get to keep their Fiery Embraces / Aims / Build ups then we'll talk.

Ha! Its even better than that. The recharge is only 50% higher, not 100%. Poor, poor Melt Armor.

What the hell? Let's buff defenders.
Tactics are for those who do not have a big enough hammer. Wisdom is knowing how big your hammer is.

Yeah, that's true, if the target is hit with both the first and the last tick of the rain (and the bug doesn't rear it's ugly head).|

I guess the duration of the debuff is most accurately represented as a continuum between 30-45 seconds. Good point

Freezing rain is, as far as I'm concerned, the most powerful power in the game. I'll take it over any power even if me doing so somehow convinces someone that can't spell that they're right about something.

I would not support a change of Build Up to Freezing rain in Blaster secondaries. However, if I was presented with a choice, I would probably take freezing rain. And that's on my Energy/Energy Blaster that generates more knockback than a drunken storm defender. On any other blaster it would be a no-brainer for me.

But yea, freezing rain all the way.

I'd swap any of my blaster secondary powers for Freezing Rain. Or, preferably, all of them. :-)

I would rate Freezing Rain is much much more powerful. Conceptually it has a lot of problems but that's besides the point of the question, yes?

Got a Mids suggestion? Want to report a Mids bug?
I would trade my entire blaster secondary for freezing rain
Then I could be a ranged blaster with good survival
I want all 24 of my powers to be freezing rain. If they stacked and had defender numbers, I could solo AVs.
On second thought make them all toggles. With cardiac and a miracle that's doable.
