Ice/Fire Build Critique

Recommended Posts

Hi there Blasters.  I got my Ice/Fire to 50 on Friday and spent most of yesterday testing the build below as I start my incarnates.  I am very impressed so far but I'm sure it can be better, hence the post 🙂 

 

A few comments: 

  1. My primary goals were and are perma Hasten and S/L def softcap.
  2. I spend most of my time in melee.  Ice Storm and Blizzard are macro'd to cast on self; I jump in, hit one or both rains, FSC, then pick off what little is left.  I'm not interested in building Ranged def.
  3. Aim is absent because I don't like it.  Build Up + Guassian proc is enough 99.9% of the time and using Aim feels like it takes more time than it saves.
  4. S/L is softcapped after Stealth's buff suppresses (45.14 total).
  5. I do wish Energy def (36.5) was a bit higher.
  6. I don't use Burn much, its AoE is sad compared to the rains + Hot Feet and FSC is sufficient for melee pseudo-nuking on its own. BUT Oblit is a great set for the build's goals, so if I'd need a really good reason to ditch it.
  7. Rune of Protection is a bit redundant now that I can use Clarion, but I still like it for exemping plus having the flexibility to pick another Destiny power is nice.  I wouldn't be opposed to dropping it though.
