Help me build my Ice/Arrow

[Tryna_Dugid]

Hello! 

 

I will preface this by saying I never had a blaster to max level back in live, so I have no clue how to go about slotting mine.

 

I figure I need to build up defenses, recharge and resists. I can’t currently afford purples, but will make do with other sets. 

 

What should I be aiming for? Are there any powers that aren’t needed? (from either set)

 

Thank you!

Ice/TA will be a 100% ranged toon. For that reason, prioritizing some ranged defense would be a smart move. If you team a lot, you don't need to go for soft cap because there's always someone else with either Maneuvers or some other team +def buff.

 

From TA you can skip Flash Arrow and Glue Arrow (I usually pick GA as a filler, just to keep things at bay). Ice Arrow can also be skipped unless you want some extra control (it stacks nicely with your Ice holds) or use it as a set bonus mule (hello, Basilisk's Gaze).

 

As for Ice, I'd skip Ice Bolt and Frost Breath. Ice's holds can be quite strong, especially if you put use some procs to use.

 

So yea, build up some defense and then go for +recharge.

 

Let me know if you need help coming up with a budget build to get you started.
