Help - Build required Ice Ice Cold

[alistar]

Hello All

 

I have been scouring Dr. Google and the forums and couldn't find a decent Ice Ice cold blaster build. Inf is no factor, something strong that works solo or in team, with good damage and QOL

 

preferably for 4/8 content.

 

I heard Ice was buffed compared to many moons ago  and so would love the idea of ice ice cold hero that is strong and i can sink a tonne of inf into it.

 

Hope this is possible and appreciate any help

I have a decent ice ice cold.  Thought i had put it up a couple months ago.  I will again when i get back home

Hey @Snarky thank you so much! Do you think ice/ice is best played ranged or melee? I really like ice patch

I think ice ice cold Blaster is the perfect Sentinel.  Played at 40-60 range.  You keep AoE and slows on the mobs.  Good ST against AV also from range.  The Ice Patch is great but situational. If you CANNOT get away due to mechanics drop it. If you are pulling to an area drop it.  If you are overrun drop it.  If you are going in to back up a Brute or rescue a teammate drop it.  Otherwise use the time to get DPS AoE and slows on the mobs.  

[Elia87]

I like to blast things from afar, but that ice patch seems really fun and usefull to wipe mobs without much worring they hit you..will try my best thanks Snarky

[Elia87]

Sorry again for the many questions...if you wanted to maximize dmg output with ice/ice how would you build it? Go for sets or focus on procs wherever possible? Melee or ranged?

[Snarky]

i am not a proc builder but i think i remember reading ice procs well. generally proc builds do more dps.  that is my understanding.  i prefer set bonuses.  the only proc build i have is a rad/fire/my brute farmer.  so lopsided that i have a separate TF build for him when not farming.  but in that farm....yowza....fast clear
