Rad/Cold - I feel like I should be doing more damage than I am.

I fully expect that I my build is wildly sub-optimal, so thought I would post it up here for people who understand things better than me.

I have very much gone for the 'this seems cool\fun' approach so would appreciate a few tweaks if possible.

 

On a slightly different note, it feels effing amazing to be posting for build assistance for CoH in 2019.  Man, its good to be home!

1: Snow Storm is probably overslotted, I don't think it needs all of those Slows.

2: Don't put effects in damage powers if you're feeling low on Damage... getting a chance to drain some Endurance is not worth it unless it's in a major Endurance-sapping build. Put more damage instead.

3: Similarly, NEVER slot Defense Debuff in Rad Blast. You already put out so much -Def that there is no point in increasing it. Put Achilles Heel, or more damage.

4: You have 3 slots in Teleport, and only 2 in your Snipe... of course you will be suffering from low damage if you're putting 3 slots in a travel power and 2 in an attack. Slot up the attacks more, put 2x ToHit and 1xToHit/End Red in Tactics, and get Kismet... I think this puts you at Fast Snipe (though soon you'll get Fast Snipe without having to build for it).

 

Basically, you have a few attacks, and they're all not heavily slotted. And you're doing low damage. This is a direct cause-and-effect relationship here... if you want to deal more damage, slot up your attacks more. If faster travel and better defenses are your priorities, then you will have to accept dealing lower damage.
