Ice Melee Questions

[hejtmane]

MY plan is a ice/shield scrapper hence the question

 

I know high end you want like Moonbeam or zap if you want lightning ball for high end attack chains for ST. Mine is more about the lower and middle levels. I sidekick down with a group that does not build like I do for TF's etc.

 

Looking at that level am I better off in the lower range using Crosspunch after taking boxing & kick for ST attack chains on AV's  over Greater Ice Sword I lose the crit but the dpa seems to be better with the boxing and kick taken.  In theory at the lower levels I use like FT>IS>CP

 

Am i crazy with that thought process

Don't forget Frost, it is tough not to hit at least two, throw a range enhancement of some kind  in there if you can to help it out even more.   Practice jumping up and turning it into a pbaoe.  You should have a good attack chain there with Cross Punch (get a +recharge in there as soon as you can), plus I enjoy lining up melee cones as a mini-game but I know some people don't care for it.

Yes Frost would be a filler at the lower levels for any gaps in the attack chain and  lining up stuff I am old school DM the triangle was are jam and I got two of them to 50 pre-IOs ok so I am a masochist when it comes to early COH years.
