Ok so basically the ability rimfire really sold me after trying some stuff out, this is what I want to mix ice with, im not sure how im going to make a concept out of it though because it still looks pretty close to fire. I dont think ill be gimping myself with these two together though atleast it doesnt look that way.
If anyone could help give me the gest as how to synergize these to together id greatly appreciate it.
I havent tried allot of fire abilities but for the most part they all seemed cool, however on ice im not very fond of some of the looks like from shatter, frost blast, and I have mixed feelings about frost breath and spear, they seem ok and ill play with them if need be.
Also is rimfire the only ability that does both? Maybe I missed it? Im guessing there are a few ways you can do fire and ice though.
Thanks everyone!

Since Ice Spear is single-target and doesn't proc Chill or CF consistently, that'd leave AoE and other supporting powers open. You have two basic approaches there: go w/ Icy Embrace and Ice/Chill stacking attacks, or go w/ TReverb and use at least one thing that can reliably put up CF (for Fire, that's Flashfire). Both EU's scale off End.
So, aside from maybe Ice Spear (w/ CF adv) and Rimefire, what type of extra Ice vs. Fire mix do you want?

Do you want to rely more on Chill or more on Clinging Flames?

If you want you can show a build but I think I have an idea what your going to show me since I saw one of your more recent rimfire post builds.
Thank you by the way.
Ur build could include Ice Blast w/ Hard Frost, Ice Spear w/ adv, Ice Barrier, and Icy Form (for Cold Snap) for Ice, and the rest as Fire (including Rimefire). Something like this maybe:

Going the pure dps route here. Pyre and flashfire for AoE, Flashfire (and/or full charges of Pyre) to keep TReverb running by keeping CF up, Ice Blast for Hard Frost's debuff and to refresh Chill, and Ice Spear for single-target. Rimefire for when ya have both CF and Chill up and want some extra burst dps from it. Could get the Backdraft adv on Pyre if ya want some AoE CC, though that means lowering its dps. This build gears mostly for Ego and Con.
Hope that gave ya some ideas, at least.
