My 1st controller

I tried to make it as 'conterllery' as I could and picked Ice Mastery for doubling down on theme. I am open to suggestions on improvements or ways to improve and stay on theme.

There are a few things you can do to optimize this a bit better. There are some procs and uniques that are missing or should be shifted around. I'll try to be as comprehensive as I can because there's a lot to go over.

 

You can pretty much drop Shoal Rush here. It looks like you're trying to proc it as a pseudo-attack. You could instead shift those slots to Whitecap which is more proccable. Whitecap does knockdown so it doesn't need knockback-knockdown. The -def in Shoal is the only desirable portion but you'd probably be better off with Cold Snap or Flash Freeze for more cc. Arctic Air takes time for the confuse to tick up and you only have Ice Slick knockdown and Whitecap for soft cc. On my Ice Dom I'll utilize Cold Snap as an extra safety net while Arctic gets to work.

 

• Numina's unique isn't benefiting you in Soothing Wave, it should go in Health. The Prev Med proc will work fine on you, though. You can also use the Miracle unique in Health if you need more recovery.
• Drop the endmod/rech Performance Shifter out of Stamina as it's giving minimal benefits.
• You're missing the Reactive Defenses resist unique in a defense power.
• The Kismet +accuracy in Barrier Reef needs to go in Combat Jumping.

 

• In Toroidal Bubble I would worry more about reaching the ED cap on resistances before enhancing the endmod portion.
• Tide Pool is best used before any other power, it doesn't alert enemies when you drop it. Adding procs to it will cause it to alert them. You can also drop it to 1 slot because only the slow can be enhanced.
• Shifting Tides I typically see people use 2 end reductions or a damage set to increase the dmg portion. I don't often see the tohit portion enhanced, not sure how often the Gaussians proc will go off in it. Offensive procs do not work well in toggles.
• Barrier Reef does both +def and an absorb shield, if possible I try to split the difference and enhance both aspects.
• Power of the Depths has a long cooldown and I typically see people use 2 recharge reductions. If anything I would enhance the +health portion before the endmod.
• You can drop a Shield Wall slot out of Weave for minimal loss.

These changes should help tighten things up for you!
