Making Ice/Ice/Ice .... good(ish)?

[vibal]

Thinking about something different and settled on ice/ice brute. Figgered I'd grab Arctic just for the theme and wanted to see if I could cook up something decent:

How was this set supposed to work? I had to go miles out of my way to get to any sort of usable numbers. I hit the s/l/e/n/f/c soft caps, but *man* this isn't a gimme. Block of ice ended up being a critical mule with the last 5% for e/n/f/c. Thoughts on anything I missed? I know storm isn't the best on brutes since it's a pseudo pet, but >shrug< figured it's worth a shot.

 

[Hyperstrike]

Here's a fairly beastly boy.


Note: If doing this in Mids, I really Recommend exporting like this.


It's  mostly human readable, and more important, IMPORTABLE BACK INTO MIDS.

Using energy absorption as a ghetto heal is a great idea. I'm probably going to swap cold for gloom/oblit. Rune of protection is nice, but I'll forget to fire it off. I suppose it could fill the t9 spot, but we'll see how she flies without.

 

Also picked up hasten. Kick as a feedback proc slot is a solid thought. Do you find you have time to fire it off? Hopped up to 40 and 0/x8 longbow are a comfortable challenge. Going to solo ride up to 50 to see how it handles.

Basically if you're not going to actually USE kick, you may as well put something USEFUL in there on the off chance you might.
This is why I'm Kick>>>Punch.

 

And I honestly think you'll see better working results (even if the damage numbers are lower) with the Hold.

And there's nothing really, set-wise that you're gaining out of it...
