Never_Say_Never

Asborb Pain is a miracle power, that has saved my butt so many times, I can't imagine a good PVP emp not taking it.
My ice tanker doesn't have resistance *per say*, so when I get hit, I get hit hard.

In PVP an emp doesn't need leadership, because the people they are buffing are their eyes and ears. When I play my tanker I will slaughter anyone coming near the emp. I will taunt, attack and go crazy. If I keep them alive, they will keep me alive.

When he made this guide, he was saying, after hard work and many hours this is what works best for me. you don't have to agree, but if you are looking for advice here is a start.

I would love to have him on my team anytime.

Get 6 slots in quick recovery before stamina, because QR is more effective at end regen.

Yes I have played an ice tanker to 50.... really its possible...
I have tried many many builds on test server, looking at getting aid self and slotting tough/weave to the max. But tanking an av is still very hard but can be done. Once my ice tanker hit 50 I rolled a stone tanker, and its a different world. Its so difficult to come back to my ice tanker because it seems more like a scrapper.
Blasters, defenders and controllers can get damage resistance via EPP and that is nice, but its sad they take less damage from an attack than I do.

An ideal change would be...
PermaFrost... make it like intergration.... *minor effects resistance... greater healing ability.....
*With health and this healing, we could out live most things*
Hibernate
*Once activated give insane taunt with a good range* (let a tanker taunt hamidon lol)
Icicles
*Do moderate damage, and change to ice damage. Also has a huge tohit debuff*
Chilling Embrace
*Change to 35 percent -recharge and moderate tohitt debuff*

I made an ice tanker because I never saw them, and I never wanted to be like everyone else. I am just hurt that we get ignored, and when I love doing missions, task forces, trials I have to worry about doing my job. If you were a team leader and making a respec trial and you had one spot left, do you pick an ice tanker or inv tanker. IMO it shouldn't matter, but as it stands most pick inv. *Real story... its becoming I want a defender who can heal, and I want a tanker who can handle damage. when people spam in broadcast*
