Ok, kiddies. I'm planning on using the freespec we received Monday on my Ice Tank (below is the current build).
I suck at hurting things so my current build is partly to use some IO sets, partly survivability and partly utility (leadership).
I know I will never do sufficient damage so I need some ideas on how to rebuild Big from the ground on up (to the East side, to a deeeluxe apartment in the skyyyyy...).
Please take a look at my current build and offer your suggestions. If you have any questions, please post them below. I have consulted some guides on the OBs as to IO slotting and sets to maximize my performance (Tundara's Ice Tank IO Guide). You do not need to consider IOs/IO sets when building my tank, but if you do that would be loverly.
A few more things to add:
- The level and slotting in my current build are completely random and unthoughtout so I didn't even try and put it in there.
- I have some HOs and IOs currently being used.
- My preferred method of travel is flight.
- I like chocolate ice cream with rainbow jimmies.
- I don't know if I want to keep leadership, but really don't know what other pool to dip into.
Peace One,
Big

I have no clue on the Ice set, but I figured I'd show some love to a fellow Tanker. Lemme know when and if you ever wanna build an Inv/anything tank, that's where my expierience lay.

I like the build Aurrius suggested, but my tank Big Chill doesnt follow that plan. I have a slow-and-steady approach.
I don't use Taunt, Hasten, Vengance and Ice blast.
I have Build-Up, Fozen Aura, Manuvers and Permafrost instead.
I have found that Assault and Build-Up with 3 recharges increaces my overal damage averaging roughly +33%. Frozen Aura limits the ammount off ppl I have to deal with, and Manuvers gives me much appreceated def bonus with only the sole target I'm attacking to worry about. Permafrost adds up nicly with the other ice armors making ice and fire attacks not even worth mentionig.
However, my choice list only varies with Build-Up being chosen as soon as possibe, Manuvers earliest followed with Tactics, and Frozen Aura when it comes up. My last 3 powers are in this order; Assault, Horafrost, Permafrost. This is only because I am def-oriented, and avoiding damage is the priority over dealing it. Despite that, most minor mobs goes fast With most minios and some lieutenants being taken down with a Build-UP + 3-4 hit combo.
The only problem with my build is that it chew up end way to fast. Running 7 constants in the middle of a figh make Hibernate and Energy Absorbtion a must for end recovery.
Big Chill is a conscranker: he conrols a mob so they do nothing, scraps a target till they can't stand, and tanks what's left till the job's done.
Dive in, have fun, and think about it later.
