[QUOTE="Mentat55, post: 5008206, member: 14840"] What race? Assuming you have no preferences, dragonborn make great dragon sorcerers (duh), and go really well with mono-energy builds. This is because of the feat Draconic Spellcaster, which grants you a scaling feat bonus to attack rolls with arcane powers that have the same keyword as your dragon breath. You'll want Dragonfrost as one at-will, and if you are a dragon sorcerer, you'll probably want Burning Spray. Then you can pick up Arcane Admixture to add cold to Burning Spray, so both your at-wills do cold damage. If you pick up Improved Draconic Soul, you'll be ignoring 15 points of cold resistance with your arcane powers at 11th level. Since you'll probably use a fair number of blasts, you probably want to invest in Leather Armor Proficiency, and maybe even Hide as well (perhaps at 12th), because you'll be getting into melee. You'll also want Sorcerous Blade Channeling, so you can use your ranged attacks when you get in close without provoking OAs. Dragonsoul Heir is a good PP, but for a cold mage, Blizzard Mage (Arcane Power) seems thematically appropriate. And it has some neat abilities, like being able to shift while immobilized, or having speed 3 when slowed. Because you punch through so much cold resistance, and because you want to rock the Wintertouched/Lasting Frost combo, taking all the cold powers you can only makes sense. There seems to be one cold power every time you take a new attack power, sometimes two. Not usually the best power, but this build is all about heaping up tons of damage on targets. [/QUOTE]
