Force Redux

Ever drunk Baileys from a shoe?

Lol... OMG memories

Quoted for emphasis 👍🏻

This is just awesome 😄

@JJDrakken JJ thanks for your build posts... I've used them in the past to help my with my own building. 👍🏻

Costume slots all filled, half the roster never capped— dreams in character select.

Very nice!

Too much guild drama and I keep having to PUG.

One does not simply walk in into Mordor generally discuss this game

City of Heroes homecoming helped me save money on my car insurance.

That's not my experience... Sounds odd...

Solid suggestion. Would also love a couple other models for traps that span other ideas (artifacts, super high tech)

@vidicate Hi there. So there are likely future changes I'll make to this build, but it serves me well at the moment. I do not blap on this build, it is meant for mostly ranged - if you do blap, Frozen Aura and another melee attack would serve you well, and perhaps less focus on Ranged Defense (lean into S/L/E instead). I like to sit back, chill (ha ha), and toss out icy blasts and control stuff while mocking enemies for being slowpokes. Primary Goal: have capped Ranged Defense, and toss in procs to increase damage. Get S/L/E/N to respectable levels. I've got 45% slow resist, which is fine however, since 1) I don't melee, 2) I fly and avoid Knives' annoying caltrops and 3) I tend to control/kill things before that becomes problematic. Has Ranged Defense of 46% in combat. Has 33% Smash/Lethal Defense (so if something tries to get close, you are easily capped with a purple insp) Energy/Negative Defense of 47% (helps vs. attacks that carry status effects and the worst debuffs in the game, typically). Resists are minimal at best. So if you get hit/hurt you can lean on Hibernate to recover or shed debuffs. I barely use it myself, but it's nice to have. Hoarfrost is your heal, but you can use it proactively if you wish. I did not need or care to have it at prema. Again, see my points above: I don't melee, I fly, and I tend to control/kill things. There's a LOT of slow in here, so things that attack don't generally get another chance to do so. I like Snowstorm for applying toggles things for pulling, to interrupt actions, and to irritate mobs (ie, in MSRs on the grates). Every one of my characters has full stealth/invis in some way, shape or form (except my tankers), so if you don't care for it, simply move build up / aim earlier in the build. Ice Patch is great in close quarters combat, since you may not always be able to stay at range. Lay it down and things that get close will have a hard time, and in conjunction with your Frigid Protection and controls (your three holds) you should be pretty darn safe. I went Intuition Partial Radial Revamp for Alpha (NOT reflected in the build below), because Damage/EndMod/Hold/Range was too tasty to pass up. You can stack holds if you like with Freezing Touch (15 secs mag 3) and Freeze Ray and BFR (12.6 seconds mag 3 each) to keep things perma held that you dont want to deal with. You have a net gain of 3 end/sec in this build plus procs. You won't run out unless sapped. For my other incarnates, I went Cryonic, Clarion, Assault, Spectral and Banished Pantheon, but really since all issues are generally solved by the base build you can do for whatever you like. All in all a fun build, suits me just fine and works with my power fantasy of being an icy overlord. Enjoy!

Bah, sorry @Maelwys I was thinjking of the -slow on the sustain toggle, I should know better lol. U are right of course. Iced Patch is very useful. It's very range friendly. Not dying is always good for dps. I love it in my blaster, and stalker. Nice thing about CoX, there's more than one way to do anything, so the more ideas the merrier.
