Ice Ice for the Holidays

[Snarky]

I am looking for an Ice solid Ice/Ice/Arctic Build for the holidays. Fly as the travel power, because I am lazy.  

 

I have never built Ice, and am just looking for a very survivable generic PvE build. I like regular Incarnate trials and +4/x8 ITFs but tend to avoid the new starred content with a thousand deaths per task force.

 

i never take ice sword powers.  disappearing weapons irritate

Thanks in advance

Here you go. No swords, Arctic pool, with Fly. A simple build for you to sink your teeth into. You could even call it a snack. A midnight one. During Christmas. With Fly.

 

Wait, are you Santa?

My concept was from last year.  I made the saturated no feature costume parts, Spectrum, all bright white with Ice armor.  Abominable snowman.  Then when I went to build it Wednesday night I discovered the Fire and Ice costume and just used that.  Ran it all day Thursday.  By late Thursday an old concept creeped into my head.

 

I had this backstory written up about a employee at a high end firm.  At the holiday party he gets really drunk and obnoxious and keeps asking for more ice.  He had no idea the owner of the company was a Lord of Space and Time and....not happy.  So the Time Lord took the mans brain, put it on a robotic ice making machine.  I tried this character as a corruptor, blaster, etc.  Never realized it was a perfect Tank.  I may rename him, but for now I am calling him Snarkycicle.

 

On a more in game note.  I did 2 DFBs then PL'd him to 25 in a Farm.  Then Thanksgiving Day I ran, in order: Posi 1, Posi 2, Tarikoss, Synapse, Silver Mantis, Yin, Moonfire, Hess, Oper. Renault, Citadel, Katie Hannon.  This way I could get the feel for the powers as they came in.  Never ran an Ice Ice melee before.  Really liking it and netted over 300 merits.

 

Today I ran him 20 minutes in a farm to bring him from low 40s to 45. Then I am planning on Manticore, Numina, Sutter, Mort Kal.  Probably not a Q.  Then some level 50 (or 35-50, 40-50 etc) TF and stuff to get the feel once I respec and open Incarnates.
