Blood Knight Build (Supernatural / Ice

This is the build I am contemplating playing during the Blood Moon event. I'd appreciate osme feedback on how viable the build is. I mostly PvE, but occasionally PvP.I'm not worried about it being min/maxed as long as it is moderately survivable for PvE and fun to play.
It is a themed toon, based around an old hero who died during the battle of Detroit who has returned as a vampire. His powers are themed to involve spitting toxic blood (venemous breath), Life draining (Devouring Essence) creating solid blood objects (Wall of Ice) and blowing up said objects (Shatter). I considered adding in a sword attack or two since he was a knight and fought with a sword before his death, but I just don't see using them enough to warrant it. The main attacks will be VB, DE, Wall and Shatter with BIte and the energy builder mixed in when needed.

And me...
Just sayin'
Uhmm. Get rid of Ice cage and get unbreakable.
shrug
Thanks for the suggestion. I really only took the cage because, I don't have any other CC powers except Wall of Ice and it fits part of the theme being that he can create objects of solidified blood. Unbreakable would probably help survivability more though.
I get rid of Telekinetic Shield. Vamps don't typically use TK powers. I would get Ebon Shield with Voracious Darkness. Not only is it better, but it is more synergistic with your toon. Also you seem to have alot of healing with regen, chi and lifedrain, not sure if you need all that, but you might replace Chi with March of the Dead. Summoning undead with all you are doing adds a bit of an "Umph!" to your powers. Of course, add "Force March" with it.
another thing .. maybe u can set a blaster power in there, for "finish" the work when the mob move between other mobs and dont want to get all the agro just for kill that runner
Currently I have the build up to level 10. It is a blast and the red walls of ice and red venomous breath look sweet, not to mention riding around on a blood surfboard. I originally wanted to take shatter at 11 and regen at 14, but the only problem I've had so far is that he dies really easy, so I bumped regen up to 11.

i thought swing from veins ripped from the victims give a nice twist.
May want to consider acrobatics and fire flight(set to red) and say it's blood mist flight. A bloody ice slide fits the concept but that thing is a pain in the **** to maneuver during combat.
Also, LOTS of vampires use TK abilities. So whoever said earlier that they don't...well...I DISAGREE! hah!
That said I do like Acrobatics, but I already have it on like three of my guys. The fire flight also sounds interesting. When I get to that point in the build I'll probably try out a few of the flight powers and see which one I like best.
As for Ice Flight it is ap ain to ocntrol sometimes, but I'm actually startng to get the hang of it. Plus it looks wicked cool to streaked across the sky raining down blood on my enemies. If I can get a god angle of it I'll post a screenie. I was using the board to fly up and in a circle destroying mobs in the desert- well until the other ten guys joined in and killed me.
My only concern right now is survivability. I love the way he plays right now, but I have died in PvE with this guy more than any of my other characters. I did ok in the level 10 PvP mission. I averaged around 10 kills but also got killed about 8 times -rather easily too- though a good portion of those deaths were from being ganged up on. Hopefully Regeneration will do what it usually does and help keep him alive.
On a quick side note, has anyone else had a problem with Venemous Breath either not charging up or not showing the mist? This mostly happens ot me in PvP. I hold down the button and it either gives a quick spurt and stops or does the naimation, but doesn't spreay the breath. I'm not sure if it is still doing the damage or not.It was happening fairly consistently in PvP, but hardly at all in PvE.
Most of Anne Rice's older vampires have telekinetic abilities. Some rather significantly so.
Queen of the Damned has multiple examples. The Vampire Lestat has some rather more subtle examples.
for those who dont know the World of Darkness the tzimice clan can transform everything of the body, own and from others in very weird and and disgusting ways muehehe
Anne Rice's vamps deviate from every other vampire of lore. She creates their powers to fit whatever scenario she needs for her book. If you stick to the original lore of the vampires they don't use TK. Heck, I can write a book that states Vamps uses chainmail and Uzis.
agree with the anne rice though.
but just im curious about the "original lore" part. wich one would be?
as far as i know the "original" idea of vampirism is from later medieval time, and those was only about ppl drikning blood for live or extend their unnatural lives.
later apear the iconic idea of Dracul based on a real historical character, Vlad Tepest.
after that the "fantasy" vampires with powers are all from XX century, and the most spare blood lines and powers are from world of darkness.
13 clans, with share powers and some powers of their own. some of them are true magical, other are such as rise dead zombis and control them, and others are mental control or even extend their own madness upon others.
Keep in mind that vampires were considered demons and that original lore has them as humans that died in an unnatural way (hence the pale skin skin syndrome) and because they couldn't accept their deaths, their spirits kept their body going. But in order to sustain that, they need to drink blood which is keeps the body from completely decomposing. Again, going back to the grayish skin and death look. After that myth and legend took over where the vampire's blood became an mythical disease and you can be bitten by one and turned, thus, creating more vampires.
