Help with Ice/Energy PvPer?

Hi guys. I recently decided that I'm tired of my old support role as an Empath, and I rolled an Ice/Energy Tanker that I plan to purely PvP with when he gets 50. (he's 34 now).

The thing is, is I don't know the first thing about slotting/picking powers for PvP because it's a completely different concept than PvE. Plus, I've never played a Tanker before this guy. I don't know all the ins and outs of PvP, but I plan on learning with a solid build - IF you guys can help me.

Money is not an issue. I mean, I don't want any builds that are crazy exorbitantly expensive, but I've been playing carebear style for long enough to be able to drop around 1.5 billion on this toon.

Any tips/recommendations/builds? I'd deeply appreciate the help. I feel like a fish out of water!

i recommend going with ice/ss instead, don't really have a build for one but plenty of other people do and i'm sure would be willing to share

A lot of people have recommended Ice/SS instead of Ice/Energy, but I still am set on Energy.

I don't need to have a perfect PvP character, I just want the best possible Ice/Energy I can get

As far as powers, this is what I'd do.

Awesome - thanks for the power choices.

Anyone have recommendations for slotting?

Well, I tried my hand at Mid's and cohplanner.com, but I only found builds in their database that used the original Training Origin Enhancements.

Are there any sites where I can get IO'd PvP builds? I really need help building this guy.

All the IO sets with the exception of the new pvp IO's are in mids. Their are so many differerent pvp builds it all depends what your building for.

I don't really pvp with tanks but I guess you want plus recharge, plus damage, plus hit points with some accuracy(though maybe not in that order).

Just look threw the sets and see what the bonuses have to offer.
