Has anyone done a tri-elemental blaster?

[Menelruin]

Was just curious if anyone has done a build that, between the primary, secondary, and epic, covers fire ice and electric attacks.

What would be the best combination for that?

I think Ice/Electric/Fire.

 

Electric is best as the secondary. That puts you into blapping builds because its strength is melee-range powers. So while both Fire Blast and Ice Blast are excellent primaries, you don't need the higher damage of Fire, but having two Holds from Ice is really helpful. So Ice/Electric as the base. Pyre is one of the better epics, and brings another Hold for the character, allowing you to play a bit like a Dominator, hold everyone immediately and smash them with the fast attacks from Ice and Electric. Also, Bonfire helps Ice Storm and Blizzard do more damage as mobs fall down while trying to run out of their area.

Electric Blast/Ice Manipulation/Fire has a very Mage-y feel to it.  I used to not think much of Frigid Protection until I realized it's a 30ft radius auto hit slow aura, with -14% Damage debuff. My jaw honestly dropped.

From a purely min/max standpoint, Ice/elec/fire seems like the play here.

And yet another alt was born...

I tried water/elec and would have been water/elec/fire, but the two combos just didn't mesh very well. I could never really leverage enough damage to kill things before they killed me. I would actually try ice/fire/elec instead, maybe?
