Ice/Spines looking ahead to 50

[Cutter]

Looking at endgame for my little aggro magnet. He's only L32 right now so I have plenty of time to make and fix mistakes 🙂

 

I think I've got a decent build going, with the exception of decidedly mediocre regen & recovery, and horridly low E/N/Psi resists. With energy especially being pretty significant at endgame, and that 5% chance coming up eventually, should I be looking for ways to bump those resists up? Power order is OK for exemping? Am I missing anything else that's obvious to better builders? (I know my winter sets are not superior in the build - gonna take a long time to get there so I want to see how it looks with the stock versions.)

Against +4s, your accuracy is pretty bad, 72.4% at best, 64.8% at worst.  Personal preference, but that is too low for me.

 

Defense wise, here is a link to a post with a build or two you can compare with and maybe find some tweaks you like.

Thanks! I never remember to do an accuracy/tohit stats check. Gotta make room for Kismet at least I'm thinking. And I could have sworn I searched everything before posting but I obviously missed the thread you linked. Seems like I need to hunt down purples if I want to follow what's linked there? And fiddle with some set bonii too perhaps.

Here's how I'd do it.

Here's how I'd do it.
 

Hero Plan by Mids' Hero Designer 1.962

Level 2: Hoarfrost -- Ags-ResDam:50(A), Ags-ResDam/EndRdx:50(9), Ags-ResDam/Rchg:50(11), Ags-ResDam/EndRdx/Rchg:50(11), GldArm-3defTpProc:50(13), StdPrt-ResDam/Def+:30(13)

 

I understand everything except this. Why resist over heal set?

[tellania]

cutter,

     Your build is close to being spot on (imho).   The tanker +res proc in spine burst (I have a SR/spine) will typically trigger 2-3 times, and contribute to your resistance more than anything else (except the lone AV/GM, where you can get a single stack).   Good choice of a KD proc in icicles.   Also good in quills, but be careful - some times the KD will stack and become KB if they both proc on same target.

 

I would put a LOTG in EA, then end/rechx2, +end, then recharge.    Endurance should not be an issue, unless you are exemplar very low (put the +end proc in stamina and the other +hp/end proc in health; free up 2 slots).     More slots into taunt (specifically duration ; any set bonus is a plus).   The reason being, worse case, you can hibernate.   Taunt the AV/GM, hibernate ; the AV/GM will be focused upon you for 'x' period of time.   You dont, necessarily, have to wait until your fully healed, you can always exit early and grab aggro.

 

The AT IO's you choose are regular, as superior versions, the bonuses are MUCH higher.   Was this done on purpose?   Off hand, I believe a superior version exemp to a lower version still has same bonuses.  

 

Permafrost and stealth can go (you can move the LOTG into EA for 5x bonus).    Grab an epic pools, I recommend soul mastery (gloom, darkest night).   Darkest night has -to hit AND -damage!  Add that to your chilling embrace -dam.    Since permafrost is out, 6 slot tough for the extra procs.   I see a lot of +cold/fire resistance.   your resistance will help, as-is for most content.   Fire will be a small hole, as its more common than cold damage.

 

Now, for exemp'ing, I'd suggest go alternate build.   Not IO'd, maybe just an SO build.  6 slot stamina, etc.   When you exemp, the powers are limited by level and when taken, but the SLOTS in those powers are NOT!    Thus, if you, at level 50 in your build, but 3 slots into stamina, those slots are available from level 2 onwards (when you get stamina for free).   Feel free to go with a more fun build (as its for lowbie content,), e.g. laser eyes at 50, etc.   This way, you are more powerful at exemp levels, than actual hero's at that level (due to your slot glut).

 

[Cutter]

Thanks for the suggestions! I'll noodle around and see what I can push around. I wonder if I'm perhaps over-prioritizing +recharge in small set bonii, and can repurpose some slots (and invest in a purple set or two) to make up the shortfall and improve my stats elsewhere. As far as the ATIOs go, I always default to the stock versions in the builder. I'll have to see what the superior versions look like, since I eventually want to get there.

1: You're going to get a heal off it regardless.
2: With your Defense levels, you shouldn't need it more often than it's up.
3: It DOUBLES your Toxic Resist. and the set is providing both S/L Resist and F/C Defense
4: This is an end build.  During leveling, DEFINITELY use Heal TO/DO/SO/IO for the process.

If you don't care much about Toxic and want a beefier heal, go ahead and sub in a beneficial 4-slot heal set.
Removing it will reduce your F/C Defense, but you'll STILL be above Soft-Cap.

Or ... 6 slot with 4 heal/rech IO's and 2 Resist IO's ...    Much better heal, faster recharge, AND more toxic resist when you do!   And if your a stickler, you can ++ each resist IO to max out a bit more resitance.

[Hyperstrike]

Note: I never said "pull the uniques out".
That's the lowest level power they go in...  Leave 'em!

Normally I don't fiddle the builds for Plus-Level IOs.
And I normally assume Generic IOs (like in Hasten) will be plussed up for maximum benefit.

Great advice, thanks! Gonna see if I can make the epic push to 50 this weekend (still 32 because life) and then implement the mix of suggestions that I can make work.

One thing about Permafrost: if you remove it you can't cap slow resistance.  Ice has the potential, with Permafrost and Winter's Gift, to 100% resist recharge and movement speed debuffs.  I love not worrying about those two things.

Been a while, but I never had a need for permafrost ... until I started encountering knives of artemis and their caltrop throwing spamminess ...

THEN you will LOVE having permafrost!     

[Cutter]

If Permafrost resists both -spd AND -rech, then it's definitely staying in the build!

[Judge Jetson]

@Hyperstrike and others… I’m brushing off an old ice/spines tanker and want to spare no expense. I love the play and all the aggro I can hold. Could you suggest a survival build for me including taunt, quills of course the 3 auras. My build is 2019 pre the proc monster stuff so am an open book for changes. Thank you my friends. 

[Thraxen]

It sounds cool, but all the slows ends up being super bad when trying to pull or herd cause it takes them forever to get to you. It’s sturdy and slows avs but not great against most regular missions.

What stops you from simply walking into their midst and dry-ice blasting all their HP off?

For reference to the non-sequitur:
