I'm looking for a Corruptor Build for a Ice Blast/Cold Domination

[smnolimits41]

This is my first curroptor that i've gotten to 50.  What powers would you keep, especially the attacks ??  How would you slot the buffs and debuffs ?? 

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Also what incarnates would you choose ??

You can have a look at this build for inspiration. I have not respecced this char in several years, so there might be room for improvement in some areas; but overall it plays very smoothly, with a good balance between attacking and debuffing. I generally never use the buffs (shields), this is a personal choice because I enjoy being a enemy-debuffer more than being a teammate-buffer.

This build is good for playing on teams. I almost never play this char solo, so I can't tell you how the build performs when solo.

Freeze Ray and Bitter Ice Blast are your best attacks and should be treated as such - proc them up and get as much global recharge as possible (Sleet and Benumb also want lots of Global Recharge anyway). Infrigidate should be Procbombed and used as your other main attack. There are also a few Epic Set ranged attacks that are proc-friendly (like Dominate and Char). Ice Bolt and Ice Blast have much lower proc activation rate and Damage Per Activation so are relegated to being "fillers".
Aim should ideally have a Gaussian Build Up Proc in it and up to ~70% local recharge aspect. The other thing to point out is Ice Storm and Blizzard and Sleet... as "Rain" powers these do not proc well; but interact extremely well with Scourge; so IMO they're each a good place to put a Purple Set or 3x Superior Scourging Blast ATOs.

Incarnatewise... Musculature Core is the obvious Alpha, whilst Intuition Radial improves Slows you'll already have everything at the -movement cap and the additional Hold Duration IMO isn't worth the damage reduction. Reactive Interface for most content, Degenerative vs AVs/GMs. Banished Pantheon (likely Radial) Lore. Assault (likely Radial) Hybrid. Whatever Judgement you like (Pyro is probably best for raw Ranged damage). Clarion Core Destiny for mez protection (unless the team lead is demanding you help with the Barrier rotation in 4-star "hard mode" content runs!).

I intentionally don't play an Ice/Cold Corr (because I hate chasing the "meta") but I do have a Water/Cold in case you'd like a second opinion for the buff/debuff slotting (mine does slot + use the allied buffs!) -  Corruptor - Water_Cold (HydroBlast).mbd

My experience is with Cold/Ice on a Defender, I've attached the build I use below for reference/inspiration. With enough recharge, your single target attack chain can be Ice Bolt --> Freeze Ray --> Ice Bolt --> Bitter Ice Blast, repeat. Then sprinkle in Ice Storm and Blizzard for AoE as needed.

 

For incarnates, I always take Reactive Interface for the extra -res. I went with Agility Alpha because it enhances End Mod, Recharge, and Defense Buffs -- all of which help you (but for a Corr, you're probably looking for extra damage with Musculature). For Judgment, take your choice - I went with Cryonic for theme, but I know it isn't deemed as the best choice. For the Destiny slot, I ended up creating both Clarion for the mez resistance and Barrier for the extra Defense and I swap them as needed - I didn't think I really needed to take Ageless as once you have Heat Loss, your endurance issues disappear. I also went Support for Hybrid as this was a support-oriented defender, but if I were to re-roll this character as a Corr, I'd probably go with Assault.
