RE: ice/trick arrow 

Ice/TA is a devastating combination. It is very AoE heavy and is very team friendly. The lack of damage output is going to be your only draw back so I advise to stick to teaming. Even with containment bonuses you will still need help. There is only one other combination IMHO that is better for locking down mobs and that is Earth/TA.

Slot for Endurance Reductions and plan on taking the Fitness Pool for Stamina. The AoEs are Endurance heavy, but it is managable by proper slotting.

I would take the Flight Pool and start with Air Superiority. This will at least give you a decent attack in case one of enemies manages to close to you. Other than that I say take all that you can from both sets and see which powers best suit your playstyle.

RE: ice/trick arrow 

My only concern with that combo is that you've got several powers that seem to render a power in the other set pointless. Why use glue arrow to slow 'em down when you've already got them immobilized with frostbite? Why use an ice slick when they're already slipping and sliding with your oil slick arrow? Then again, maybe it's good to have a backup power while you're waiting for the other to recharge. I dunno.

But like Phase said, you'll be an AoE fiend, but have little damage-dealing ability. Don't go solo, but you'll be able to turn a so-so team into a really good one.



I'm an incurable altoholic, but most recently I've played as these characters:

Abana (hero, Champion), lvl 40 mag tanker, stone/stone/fit
Souleymane (hero, Champion), lvl 14 mag defender, dark/psy
Saffron Bow (hero, Triumph), lvl 8 nat blaster, arch/dev
Cessair mac Bith (hero, Virtue), lvl 12 mag scrapper, broadsword/invuln
Etain Echraide (hero, Virtue), lvl 21 mag controller, plant/therm

I would look also at the added effects these give, like the slow recharge. In pvp as a MM slow recharge is bad especially if you are waiting on a minion power to recharge and your pets are dying quick smart (cursed emp arrows).

Same can apply to pve as some bosses and heavy hitters will have to wait the extended recharge time to get off any attacks giving you more time to lay on more attacks.
