Boy is that hard to read. Might want to do something about that.

I wish I could offer you some advice, but blasters aren't really my thing. If you need advice for Storm anything, let me know.

RE: PVE blaster looking for some advice and builds  

Okay, I'm going to guess your saying your new at blasters, tried a fire/energy but have chosen to do an ice/ice blaster, and would like a PvE based build for it.

Well, barring from any specificly requested travels, or anything too much, here is a Leadership, team-support and sleeper solo arctic blaster build:

Its a heavy damage single target lockdown blaster, ice storm and blizzard are situational uses, but you should be able to hold most anything late game. The addition of Leaderships are to benifit you and your team's accuracy and damage output. The sleeper ascpect comes form Flash Freeze and Frozen Aura. The combination, opening with Flash Freeze, then spamming Frozen Aura allows you to deal with a single held target at a time solo, though may not be as useful in a team. Frozen Aura for a blaster deals no damage, but the sleep component is capible of stacking and permanently holding a group until they receive damage and wakes up. Its a tricky, but fun combination that leaves a fairly safe solo alternative.



Big Chill is a conscranker: he conrols a mob so they do nothing, scraps a target till they can't stand, and tanks what's left till the job's done.

Dive in, have fun, and think about it later.

Do not pray for challenges to equal your strength, but for strength to equal your challenges.

RE: PVE blaster looking for some advice and builds  

So you're new to the blaster AT ey? Well, allow me to say one thing about Ice blasters: If you are used to controllers, then this is a great transition. However if you just wana blow enemies all to hell maybe consider another set like Fire or Assault Rifle. Just my opinion

But like I kinda said above, Ice/Ice is very controller-like. Holds, Slows and whatever you wanna call Ice Slick. The build would be very control heavy with some okay damage thrown in there. It's not necesarily as powerful as the other blaster sets but it would be far from useless or weak. It could be fun I suppose

Anyway, enough blabbing. Here's a build 4 you:
