Need help with a ice/dark defender build

I have a tier 4 hybrid defender.
She was my third lvl 50 and a great toon.
I want to make a great solo build/pvp build.

I'm okay with not havin these powers from cold manipulation:
glacial and ice shield ( not sue if they can get good things from slotting them, but meanin to pvp/solo)
frost work
and I could possibly give up snow storm, but would prefer to have it.

dark:
dark pit for sure to give up unless has so awesome slotting bonus.
planning on taking on lots of foes so aoes would be great, but dont need all three of them I guess. My attacks are also my defense, so cool with having them all.

would like hasten and super speed and would love if aid self could be worked in.
any thing else is just a bonus.

for 35 and up.... cool with dark mastery and energy mastery. really would like power build up.


I would like defense, dmg, - to hit, and acc be main points of slots and bonuses.. I know this seems specific, but sometimes people arent specific enough. Mids doesn't work on my computer currently, other wise I would tinker around. I am even willing to pay for a build. as for the price of the build...i think I could handle it being maxed out and all...I think. and could pay what I have left for helping with the build.

any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you defenders! we rock!

My global is @watermuse. any suggestions or tips would be great! I plan on uninstalling mids and trying it again.

I would usually recommend that you make your own build for revision, but since you can't get Mids working that's not an option. I've posted two builds below- one for solo and one for team play. I would very much recommend having a team play build even if you just slot it with SOs for now and get the Invention Sets later.

As for PvP, while Cold Domination's Benumb is very powerful, the damage-over-time nature of Dark Blast may be problematic for you there. You may find a good niche in team PvP, but generally burst damage tends to be preferred and if you intend to solo PvP you may not be as strong a competitor as others.

It's good that you've provided guidelines on what you're after here. Generally speaking damage bonuses from Inventions aren't all that stellar, but I've come up with a high-Defense, high-accuracy build for you with decent ToHit Debuff as well. The first build below is a solo build without the shield powers, with almost everything you asked for. I put Mace Mastery in for Scorpion Shield, which kept you from getting Power Build Up. The second build is a more team-friendly build that's less offensive but contributes more in a group. Hope you find it helpful!
