Humble request: please improve Ice Blast for Sentinels

[taigakirdape]

I have a Ice Blast sentinel in the mid-20's.  It gets played about every three months because it takes about that long for me to forget just how painful it is to play.

 

The problem is the attack cooldown and rotation. Ice Blast is painfully slow to use, you are constantly waiting for your attacks to be available again.  (I do have Hasten but I don't have it tricked out with maximum recharge IOs)

 

The only way I can effectively level is to find a team to carry my frozen butt, solo play is very slow and painful.

If a future page can improve this recharge time for Sentinels, I'd be grateful.  In the meantime...I'll stick to other sentinels I enjoy more.

Ice Bolt - 3s rech

Ice Blast - 6s rech

Chilling Ray - 8s rech

 

Am I missing something? You're not getting your level 50 rotation running in the mid-20s.

The main issue is that Chilling Ray has a 63.9% DPA loss compared to Freeze Ray on Blaster, and for reference most Sent attacks only have a 2.5% loss. It also has an inferior mezz effect with no proc slotting choices.
