Carnifax Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 All of them? Ice has excellent single target damage thanks to the animation times being low and Freeze Ray existing (not Bitter Freeze Ray though, that's annoying / skippable). AoE isn't amazing so anything with a nice chunk of AoE in the secondary should pair especially well. Mine is an Ice/Fire Damage over time blapper. Get in close. Drop Ice Storm or Blizzard > Burn > FSC and then start point blank blasting and fire swording my way through the toughest thing in the spawn while everything else gradually melts from the DoTs and your damage auras. One reason I like it is that it's not an "insta-nuke" build so it feels more team friendly. Everyone has a chance to bust out their powers, you aren't going to be Buildup + Aim + Nuke = deathing everything in 5 seconds. Downside is that it can be scattery if you don't have an aggro-holder on the team. Things will tend to try to get the hell away from you (the slows from Hotfeet and Ice Storm help but things like Warwolves can be annoying).

1seanv Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 I'd probably go with ice/em or ice/rad. /em because power boost will make your slows brutal with ice, and rad because if the recharge and other good stuff I'm forgetting atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1seanv Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 (edited) I don't know that offhand, but with hasten, couple lotg, and a couple purp sets - that'd probably do it. I'd mostly use it when dropping your rain and blizzard powers. Edited July 8, 2021 by 1seanv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its possible to reduce some of the global recharge requirements and Ageless could make up the difference. Perma Hasten, Power Boost, Boost Range. Problem is the clicking, but you could go with a Hasten/Boost range macro like a dominator and click boost range.

Snarky Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 (edited) I love that you never edited the title. I have an ice ice cold Blaster that is very good. I do recommend getting macros for the rains. One to center the rain on a target one to center it in yourself. For each rain so four macros Edited July 22, 2021 by Snarky 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Force Redux Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 I took @Snarky's advice on the self targeting macros. Saves time and it's great for more uptime damage on mobs near you..

Shred Monkey Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Panda was popular and still is I think. Koala was big in the 80s, Teddy was big before that. Animatronic for the off-meta choice. Serious answer, I really like the synergy of ice/electric as a blapper. That extra stacks up a lot of hold magnitude with very high damage output.

The combination of single target control with the melee attacks from EM is potent. I'm also running Ice/Martial. I started it as a Mortal Kombat rip off of Sub Zero but it turned out to be really fun and effective. And once again the Trap and Slap mechanic works with that combo too. Dragon's tail helps fill in for the lackluster AoE of the primary also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
