Sonic/Earth or /Ice

[OdinAZ]

Hi,  I'm considering making a sonic/earth blaster.  I'm thinking between the -res and -def, the mobs should crumble.  

 

But I don't see a lot of /earth.  Am I missing something?  Would /ice be better?

/Earth is probably uncommon simply because it's a newer set that was cobbled together when Seismic Blast came out so that Earth/Earth was an option, versus /Ice which was an Issue 0 launch set.  While I can't offer much of an opinion on the combos I would say try them both and see what meshes with you.

Both are pretty good, since seismic smash and freezing touch are some of the best melee attacks in the game.

 

I like earth for all-out offensive blappers since beryl crystals gives 33% of ED-busting acc. That's really significant; it's an alpha slot's worth of acc and helps enable procbombing builds.
