I changed this around a little, mostly for pvp purposes. This was tested this morning against Psi babbage, Rikti/DE with a Thorn Monster mission and against carnies (with AV) (basically some issues for tank) and it worked much better than I thought, infact alot more powerful than my last build.

(This one is differently a build to spec into at 40+)

Please tell me he had wet ice on? If so why did he give you the chance to run around . The trick to squishies is to run in rapid, get you embraced, then pummel you down before you can stack anything

Hmmm, there's an ice tanker power(s) that give resistance to slow. I think it's the crappy passive one that people don't tend to take, and maybe another one.

[/ QUOTE ]

It's also in Wet ice and Energy absorption...basically vs an ice tank you might as well run but anyone else you shouldn't have that many problems.

I got a little bored and decided to mess around with my main tank after reading the post on a tank with a medicine pool. Any thoughts? (note this is just for fun)

NB the build power order isn't fixed I just picked powers I thought would be useful.

I've just rolled a Ice/Nrg Tank as well. Has Frosty got any tips for me?

Chilling embrace is godlike but apart from that...expect pain for the first 20 levels

As a /Energy tank I feel like I am a scanker without trying...Energy transfer, total focus and bone smasher are just crazy. Combine these with my choices of ice block, build up and whirling hands and I just mince mobs. These days I hardly ever use taunt anyway, as chilling embrace is so effective.

Been trying to find the leaders for a while but if you see me can you invite Radient Power?

Some I see more in other forums but I got very confused with...

QFT - Quoted for truth (Normally someone quotes another user before they can change what they said).
QED - Normally a statistics expression but it means where you have proved something beyond doubt.

and of course...

Leeroy/Leeroy Jenkins/Leeroooooooooooy nnnnnjenkins - The person shouting this is going to run into the enemies, without a plan or care about their own life or anyone else's believing that they can win. Originally from the World of warcraft (WOW) player Leeroy Jenkins, the video is downloadable here...http://www.leeroyjenkins.net/

To start with I would like to say, everyone should have to get a rad debuffer to level 15 just to see how annoying people are. Even when you explain the advantages to keeping the "clouded" enemy alive I find that people like to kill them.

So...My question is what mobs do you recommend targeting? I have decided that if the mob is dying all the time then I want a decent hp but with a lesser priority target. So currently I'm hitting lieutenants. I also sometimes hit minions thinking they will die last but that doesn't help. Any thoughts?

No matter what, it was great fun. I got very dissapointed of some people, coh veterans as well as new ones. All that whining "when will we start!? why so long!? we wont make it" and other [censored]. Thats not cool. Like Jiaozy said, if u cant wait for 30 more minutes to get organized we will never gonna have succesful hami raid ever.


Then, I was amazed from some members of my team, who acted imature and doing some "crazy" stuff like trying to solo hami and other nonsence. That wasnt cool either. You veterans, lvl 50s of this game should try and give me, the new players example of how it should be done and not opposite.

Other than that, i had a lot of FUN I am happy i saw a lot of people united for one idea, though impossible

HAMI you are going down, i payed for 6 months and I promise you WILL GO DOWN one day.

Manf out.

EDIT: Some SSs, i realised noone posted with gui and text so here they are, sweet pictures...

That second one is a classic...

Veins can die it seams!

I already "zoom" through missons far too quickly with rage...I really want to see speed boost (zooooooom!!!).

[ QUOTE ]
Darmash you are not alone with the SS/DA combo it rules completely as far as I am concerned.

[/ QUOTE ]

Same here...SS/DA. If they had left EM the same as a tanker and gave ET at level 24, holy hell...but meh I'm not waiting until the 30's for damage again...level 8 and already got an extreme damage attack!

[ QUOTE ]
Its always good to see a mob of heros turn up (seemed less than normal). However, I kept getting lost map server, even though team speak was working fine.

I also thought at the end we may have stroke gold when we got hami to half health and no mito's - but alas he was justing toying with us.

[/ QUOTE ]

As did we all...as did we all. I clearly jinxed it by saying "Hami is late with his mitos?"

I'm biased having a level 50 /energy tank but I'd say stick with energy. All the sets are fairly similar damage wise but at level 35 you get energy transfer, which is a godlike attack (shame about ED though).

As for the travel choice, it's up to you. That's a personal preference, combat jumping or Air Sup. should be your choices first though.

I would also say if you can fit in tough/weave then get them but don't stress about it.

Bigboy, Ice tank, epic hold

I don't want to miss this one...First time but my tank now has an epic hold also.

Problem I find is that 2 tanks is a pain for both tanks involved, as you get confusion about who is meant to be aggroing who and/or one tank doing most of the work while the other feels like a "reserve". For the rest of the team 2 tanks maybe be better but for the tank himself, it's solo all the way for happiness.
