Ice/Stone or Stone/Ice?

Better at what? Holding aggro, doing damage, taking damage, moving slightly faster than a tortoise with a limp?

In that case I would favour the Ice/Stone guy.




If it has
eyes, you can blind it, if it has blood, you can make it bleed, if it has a mouth, you can make it scream.

Stone/Ice will have very high survivability, but pants damage.
Ice/Stone will be fairly well balanced.

Stone/ice is imho the toughest tanks around. Massive resist/defence added up with icepatch and you can survive really really alot (ok.. ranged psi is still worry).

Sure, but given the fact that DreamWeaver asked for a tank with good aggro control and high damage output Stone/Ice is not really an option as it fits only half the bill while Ice/Stone should provide both without much of a problem.

I used to have a 28 stone/ice, the damage output wasnt really that bad.

Damage would have gone down a fair bit when using Granite however. And if you don't use granite then you get better defence with Ice. Tremor and Fault are also very good damage mitigation powers.
