Something I'm toying with. Not certain if I'll actually do this, but it could be potentially interesting.
My current build for Glass Lass (Ice/Ice Blaster) is very much focused on holds. Which is fine for regular content, but in the MA...there's a heckova lot of custom critters with mez protect, and most ranged enemies can blast you while mezzed anyway, since they have blaster-style defiance...
So this is a possible alternate build, which places less emphasis on the control abilities. What it has is 42% Ranged Defense, and 23.5% Smashing/Lethal Defense (which covers most melee). 15.8% AoE defense also.
This build should also be able to keep things at a distance, even if they can't be held/immobbed - it retains some slow powers and ice patch. Also has Hibernate as a panic button.
It is possible to boost Ranged Defense up to 45%+ with these power selections, but that'd involve sacrificing slotting on the attack and control/debuffs. For instance, I could pull the slots from Chillblain, and instead put a full Numina set in Health and another Thunderstrike set in Bitter Ice Blast. That'd exceed 45%. Not sure whether it's worth the cost to the powers, though. What do you folks think?
Thoughts? Does this sound good? Am I out of my mind?
