Fire Ice Lightning Earth combos

in Builds and Roles
I have been searching for a build with multiple elemental powers- something like fire/earth/lightning or fire/ice/lightning or /fire/earth/ice... I doubt I can get a build that does all 4, but I did find a triple.

http://www.arcgames.com/en/forums#/discussion/198177/elementalist-concept-help

I have a level 9 that is going to have its powers reset anyway. And started down this path ( fire/ice/lightning) long ago with him but who knows what I was thinking lol/

Does anyone have a viable build I can level with that fits this bill? Must have fire and prefer one of the two combos listed above.

Thanks!

    Issue is how to add in all the elements w/o having too much redundancy.

    Fire: Can be used mostly for supplemental energy, since Thermal Reverb can easily pass for the EU, and why settle for MSA when ya could get a good EU that's also more thematic? Otherwise, Fire is best used for AoE (Fireball's UA + Conflag), and/or for debuffing (Firesnake).

    Ice: It can be either strong ST dps (Chill + Hard Frost) or strong (but costly) AoE dps (Avalanche). Also has some utility in Ice Cage w/ the interrupt adv.

    Earth: Mostly used for CC or defenses, since Earth's dps isn't stand-out. Is the only 'elemental' tree w/ lunges and melee powers, for w/e that's worth.

    Lightning: Similar (and rather overlapping) strengths to Ice (ST = NI + LArc; AoE = LStorm).

    Ofc ya can mix in diff powers in tons of ways. Here's one route:

    This is a strong AoE/ST build with decent survivability that has Wind/Fire/Electricity/Ice. Clinging Flames and Chilled are easy to keep up/refresh using Flashfire, Hurricane, Ice Blast, and Ice Sheathe, making multiple Rimefires frequent. You could shoehorn Earth in there somewhere if you really wanted, but you might sacrifice some leveling efficiency. This is a bit of a glass cannon build, but it's a powerful cannon.

    Same build with Earth as the energy builder. A little tougher to level with, as your energy unlock comes three levels later, but includes all five elements.
