Bolt, Blast, Bitter Ice Blast, Aim, Buildup, Freeze Ray, Frost Breath, Ice Storm, Blizzard are must take IDBHO. I also consider Chilling Embrace (post i24) as mandatory. Chilblain is also mandatory.
BFR - because of its animation time is a player preference - I took it on my Corruptor but once I got Dominate I respec'd out of it. Depends on what Epic or Patron pool.
Frozen Fists, Ice Sword and Freezing Touch are a player preference but they are helpful when building towards a Ranged or S/L DEF build.
Ice Patch is more of a player preference choice - I have use for it on my AR/Ice/Cold but again that's primarily due to Ignite.
Shiver is a good power but also a player preference.
Frozen Aura I would not take unless I also took Ice Patch (since it is PBAoE)
Here is a sample build -

@Deadboy
Hi Blaster forums! I don't come in here much, as I don't really play Blasters much (I have exactly 1 and I'm terrible and reckless), BUT...
I have a friend that I recently got to start playing with me and he really wanted to make an Ice/Ice Blaster. He's level 18 now and asks me what he should take and where he should place slots after each level up.
Easy enough at first because I'm familiar with the Blast sets from playing Defenders and Corruptors, but the Secondary powersets and the overall playstyle are mostly foreign to me and I'm getting to the point where I don't know what to tell him he should take or skip or what needs priority when it comes to assigning slots.
So... if you guys would be so kind, could you help me out by telling me what powers you all would consider must-haves or skippable from an Ice/Ice build?
Thanks!
