I thought a dev said they do want to make more accolades, especially once you can get at lower levels (ie sub 20).

I think there are 6 right now?

3 for Respec trial

Oh wait there's a high level one that requires defeating a bunch of AV's.

Hi,

As far as Ice Tankers go I don't know that they need stackable armors. I don't have the link handy but if you look at the "Ice Tankers need Love" thread you'll see almost 40 pages of Ice Tank angst.
Mostly Ice Tanks need at least some sleep resistance. Wet Ice is great against everything else, but once the toggles drop either we're dead meat, or our team is. Common suggestions are either adding that to Wet Ice, or adding it to Permafrost (the least taken Ice Primary power I think).

That 1 change will probably make ice tanks happy, or at least happier.

Thanks for the great game.

btw any expected surge in interest with The Incredibles now in theaters?

As an Ice tank my major issue is being chain slept/slept&held.

Beyond that I've been very useful to my SG teams (pretty much all I team with these days) in taking damage or at least keeping folks alive.

And I'm rarely the first to die in a mission/encounter. And that's when I rush in first and get hit with multiple Alpha Strikes. Most of the time I'm the last or one of the last standing.

Freak Respec Trial: Myself and and invul tanker were the only 2 standing against 10+ freak tanks and some extra freak minions in the control room. We stayed up long enough for the rest of the team to go to the hospital and run back in.

Outdoor Nemesis: Controller lost control of her pets and aggrod 2 additional groups of Nemesis, including Fake Nemesi(sp?). I turn to look/provoke and the rest of the team is down (saw the chat, of "oh crap".). The say I should run, I figure I can pull hte mobs away so the rezzing can happen in relative safety. Sure enough the team rezzes adn I'm still up keeping them busy.

Maybe things are different post 40, but I know since update 2 has been live the SG calls on me for most of the Trial/AV missons. And when I don't make it, I hear about the TPK's and mass amounts of debt collected.

I'm still looking forward to the planned changes to Tanks in general (and Ice in particular) but at the rate I'm going I'll hit 50 before that happens.
