Ice Melee / Fire Armor?

[Suspicious Activity]

I'm content to play PvE. I found these two builds on Mids. I'm not sure if either are ideal, or if there's a third option.

IceM FA Arctic bhjl Brute - Silhouette Violet Three 6cc9 - [i25].mxd IceM FA Soul bjln Brute - Knight Ruby Lambda 32cf - [i25].mxd

This is my second attempt at Mids.

Your Ice/Fire/Soul looks like a simple build. Drop taunt, pick up Ice Patch.  It is your biggest form of damage mitigation, hide hind a corner or pillar and just let natural agro pull them; if you try standing in the middle of the room instead of breaking LOS half the bad guys will be using ranged attacks which will still hurt you and Ice Patch can make them trip if behind a pillar. 

 

Ice Patch (30 sec duraion), Burn (10 sec duration), Burn (10 sec duration), Ice Patch, Burn, Rinse Repeat, Single targets for bosses, Frozen Aura as needed.

 

Won't work well in a group in a high end content, burn takes so long to do damage per patch that your team will wipe out everything else.

Thank you for the advice!
