Ice/Poison Build

[energizing_ion]

Hello all!

 

I've been wanting to make a toon with the Poison powerset recently and think I've decided on Ice/Poison Controller.  I figured with the pbaoe/melee nature of Ice Control would pair well with Poison's Venomous Gas power...

 

I'm looking for thoughts on builds for the toon: either cap'd S/L def or someway of sustainability/living in end game content would be nice. 

 

The powers that I would usually skip:

 

Chillbain (which I just noticed that in Mids it's mis-spelled as: Chilblain :p)

Shiver

Flash Freeze

Neurotoxic Breath

Elixir of Life

Antidote

 

Flight for travel works for me...and I can take any of the powers above if needed for set bonuses.

You'll have two PBAoE auras, so you'll want to be on the ground during combat, and you'd probably want Combat Jumping for that.  Not saying to keep out of Fly for a travel power, just that if you take Fly that means you'll be dipping into two, possibly three travel pools (if you opt for Hasten as well).

 

I would consider NOT skipping one of Shiver or Neurotoxic Breath, or at least trying them once you get your MUST HAVES out of the way.   With so many skippable powers in Ice/Poison, you'll have room, and neither requires slotting beyond an acc/slow in the default slot.  Shiver fired off after Ice Slick pretty much ends combat, period. 

 

While you'll hit the Slow Cap (there is one) either with or without Shiver/Neurotoxic Breath, doing so from range can save you most of the pounding you'd get once you close into melee, and will keep mobs relatively clumped so your narrow AoE debuffs have a tighter group to hit.

I made her on Torch, and the best thing about her? bind a key to powexecname poison trap$$em dance

 

I was going to take more SPIN on her but alas she couldn't handle Whirlwind. So stacking confusion it was...

You def want procs in poison trap. 6 if your build can make it happen , 3 of which can be purple damage procs.

 

You likely want some sort of mez protection as a ton of survivability is generated through arctic air and venomous gas. If they go down, you go down.

Thanks for the thoughts and suggestions all!  :)

 

I'm fine with pretty much any travel power beyond TP, wasn't thinking when I originally typed my post as it seems most of my toons have flight as the travel now.  But yeah, since I'll be on the ground/melee most of the time, CJ/SJ works better.    :)

 

I'm curious about if I put the Entomb: Rchg/Chance for +Absorb proc in Poison Trap...would that have a chance of proc'ing and giving me (and teammates?) absorb/health?  Would it proc and heal the baddies (assuming no but....)?

 

Lots of options here and I like it. :)
