Ice Storm, to be or not?

Well like most folks yesterday when nature affinity released I decided to make a new charector. I had thought about water/nature, but realized that, man can that get slot hungery quick.
Archery...no, I have a arch/dark, and yeah kinda underwhelming. Fun but no.
Fire.......been there done that multiple times, while fun and flavorful.....lets get off the beaten path
Rad....nope
Ice....ok can see that and have only played it like once and its themantic to the charector...WIN

So my question to you all is, the power Ice Storm, is it good enough by itself to add to a in general charector if you dont have sleet or a resistance debuff to make the damage better, and if so how do you slot it?

Ice Storm currently does the same base damage as the Blaster version (which was never updated for Defiance 2.0) plus Scourges. If you can keep things inside it - and Ice Blast is good at slowing individual mobs down - it's a decent power.

This will be fixed in i24 - the last time I checked on beta it does less damage than Whirlpool, primarily because the Blaster version was never updated for Defiance 2.0 but the versions created for the Defender and Corruptor AT modifiers assumed a 1.125 modifier on it instead of the older 1.0 modifier.
