    Well, that could be most any ranged dps build w/ Chilled Form.. but mine as well stick to Ice, since it was mentioned and is fine enough:

    (Unnamed Build) - Freeform (Ranged Damage)
    v3.42:34

    Super Stats
    Level 6: Dexterity (Primary)
    Level 10: Endurance (Secondary)
    Level 15: Constitution (Secondary)

    Talents
    Level 1: The Chiller (Dex: 10, Con: 10, Rec: 8, End: 10)
    Level 6: Accurate (Dex: 5, End: 5)
    Level 9: Impresario (Dex: 5, Rec: 5)
    Level 12: Amazing Stamina (Rec: 5, End: 5)
    Level 15: Quick Recovery (Con: 5, Rec: 5)
    Level 18: Acrobat (Dex: 5, Con: 5)
    Level 21: Boundless Reserves (Con: 5, End: 5)

    Powers
    Level 1: Ice Shards
    Level 1: Ice Blast (Hard Frost, Frost Bite)
    Level 6: Chilled Form
    Level 8: Ice Form (Rank 2, Rank 3)
    Level 11: Icy Embrace
    Level 14: Conviction (Rank 2, Rank 3)
    Level 17: Avalanche (Rank 2, Rank 3)
    Level 20: Icicle Spear (Rank 2, Rank 3, Freezer Burn)
    Level 23: Rimefire Burst (Rank 2, Rank 3)
    Level 26: Resurgence (Rank 2)
    Level 29: Ice Shield (Rank 2)
    Level 32: Ice Sheath (Rank 2)
    Level 35:
    Level 38: Whirlpool (Rank 2)
    Adv. Points: 33/36

    Travel Powers
    Level 6:
    Level 35:

    Specializations
    Dexterity: Combat Training (3/3)
    Dexterity: Gear Utilization (2/3)
    Dexterity: Deadly Aim (3/3)
    Dexterity: Expose Weakness (2/2)
    Vindicator: Aggressive Stance (2/2)
    Vindicator: Merciless (3/3)
    Vindicator: Focused Strikes (3/3)
    Vindicator: Mass Destruction (2/3)
    Guardian: Fortified Gear (3/3)
    Guardian: Ruthless (2/2)
    Guardian: Find the Mark (3/3)
    Guardian: The Best Defense (2/3)
    Mastery: Dexterity Mastery (1/1)

    The open power slot can be w/e ya want.

    Puts up Hard Frost and Chill w/ Ice Blast, while Ice Spear is your main single-target filler attack, and Ice Bast can refresh Hard Frost and 3x Chill (since Ice Spear's Chill proc isn't guaranteed). Also threw in the Spear's 1pt CFlames adv and Rimefire for some extra burst dps that way, though if you want to go with pure Ice then you can skip Rimefire for something else. Avalanche (or Frost Breath) can be the main AoE here, while Whirlpool is a nice dps ult, and Ice Sheath is a pretty solid dps AO for Ice builds. Gears mostly for Dex, w/ some End and Con.

    Other SS setups could work here too, ofc, as could Night Warrior for the passive (due to the charged attacks). You could also consider Wind's Stormbinger if you want some Crushing resistance.

    Mine is a little different from Flows. If you want to be more glass cannon saw Dex for Con. I find 2 ADs useful, depending on the situation, but you could swap that for whatever.
