CryoBite Sun Aug 22, 2010 7:27 pmhi all, i got a dilemma. as you all may know Cryo is mostly a toxic ice form user, the thing is that she has Very little defenses 
so, i've pooled all my globes together to make her ice again but i also made the mistake of trying elec 
so now i can choose between the to. on 1 hand i can make an SS Dex/End or an End/Rec ice build, the 2nd 1 i wouldn't have too get any new gear for and i have 3 purples in it already the 1st 1 on the other hand is the problem i have some old dex and ego gear from i was 1st ice and had no idea what i was doing! 
and the Dex build does do more damage then the End/Rec build but will its energy management sucks. ok so lets see if i can post the build that i want too use for the ice build. keep in mind thanks too Kien's advice i was able too make a very sturdy icier 
with a few mods too it i think i made it a bit better:

the only thing i changed form his Dex/end version was to take imbue over form of the unleash tempest. this is the build that either the Dex/end or the End/Rec build could use (you are looking at the End/Rec build atm).
but then i got cureious i tryed too make a End/Rec elec build
i shouldn't have done that, because of fallowing this giled:
Electricity
* Super Stats: END/INT or REC
* Play Style: Long Periods of Heavy Burst Damage, decent sustained DPS to build back up
* Preferred Passive: Electric Form
* Preferred Block: Any
* Key Powers: Chain Lightning (w/ Lighting Helix Adv.), Gigabolt, Ionic Reverberation, Sparkstorm (w/ Electric Personality Adv.)
* Secondary Powers: Thunderstrike, Electrocute, Lightning Arc (w/ Never Strikes Twice Adv.)
* Out of Framework Powers: Sonic Blaster (w/ Refraction of Sound Adv.) Sonic Device, Orbital Cannon, Laser Sword
Reasoning:Electricity is another king of AoE damage, but neither it's damage or ability to perform AoE damage are as readily apparent as Fire is. The key here is to use powers like Sparkstorm and Chain Lightning to put a debuff called Negative Ions to as many targets as possible. All electricity attacks have a chance to jump to additional targets, if they possess the Negative Ion debuff. The more constant powers like Sparkstorm and Lightning Arc have a 10% chance to arc, while Gigabolt has a 75% chance to arc and Chain Lightning is pretty much guaranteed to arc. Not only that, but with Ionic Reverberation, every time one of your powers arcs, you gain endurance back, scaling with your END. Once you have this power, Chain Lightning will become your new End Builder. Keep in mind, Gigabolt doesn't do quite the damage of Force Cascade, however, when buffed by Electric form, it actually far exceeds Force Cascade's damage. Not only that, but with a 75% chance to jump to other targets, and the Energy buff every time it does, you can feel free to spam it until the cows come home, because you'll find that you'll never run out of Endurance. Electric Form buffs all Energy Damage, so your Sonic and Particle Damage are buffed as well. This makes Sonic Device absolutely devastating, especially with the amount of AoEs in the build. For extra hurt, use Invocation: Storm Calling to lower enemy resistance to Energy Damage. Last thing: Electrocute is one of the better Hold powers, being able to hold enemies for 17 seconds at Rank 3.
and making a few mods too the build, i came up with this:
