Without knowing your incarnate strategy (even if it's just "I don't use incarnates") little can be said. When asking for critique, always state what alpha and destiny you intend to use, if any. They have a game changing affect how we go about achieving our build goals.

 

I do not recommend SL-only builds after the typed defense overhaul; they are brittle unless you know what you are doing. I recommend rainbow (all def except psi) or SLR, at the minimum. Here is an example of how to add enough ranged def on your build to hit about 44% ranged def:

  • 6x coercive persuasion - up from 5
  • 6x artillery - replaces posiblast
  • 6x thunderstrikes - up from 4
  • 6x expedient reinforcement in Jack - replaces edict
  • 5x sting of the manticore - replaces apocs; prop up rech enhancement with the 6th slot if need be
  • 2x botz in SS

This loses only 2.5% rech, though it costs a lot more slots.

 

The 6th piece bonuses from armageddon and many small resist bonuses you have are doing relatively little for you, compared to the mitigation a more comprehensive softcap would. Resist bonuses increase in efficacy the closer you are to the cap, so as an unarmored AT, it is difficult to make them worth the slots - and many of these are 6th piece bonuses. Dominator builds are tight and need to be very focused on what they pursue so you should consider carefully if these tiny bonuses are doing you enough good.

 

Totn is a set with very niche uses; you are probably better off slotting 5x panacea/doctored + 1x common acc IO for the rech.

 

I dislike psychic scream and would rather have ice storm for an all taoe/pbaoe aoe loadout, but that's my playstyle.

 

Your build seems designed around hoarfrost.

  • You can save some slots by reslotting as 2x 53 D-sync reconstructions - provides more rech enhancement than 6x prevmed, accolades make up the missing HP and my panacea suggestion above makes up most of the rech. Losing the slots from this and your aoe immob would help build for ranged defense.
  • If you insist on getting a rech bonus here you can cut the downtime by nearly a third (35.9s --> 24.7) by replacing with 5x panacea (boost all the pieces with rech to +5) and 1x rech common. This loses only 1.25% global rech.

This is a variant on an Ice/Dark/Ice dom I used to have:

 

54.98% S/L def

37.13% Melee

36.2% Ranged

23.07% AOE

 

Not the best def but with all the regen you will get from Drain Psyche you should be fine.

 

Even with the changes to Ice there is no point in adding dmg components to Ice Slick it offers so little its just pointless. Even loaded with procs it ticks for like 3 dmg against lvl 54 enemies....waste of time!

 

Flash Freeze is better for procs imo, plus it then gives you time to jump in, Drain Psyche and hopefully AA will have triggered. 

 

Ice control is melee focused set because of AA but its dicey and SLOW.

 

I spent a while trying to get my ice/dark/ice to work but ice just isnt worth it.
