The above is my ice/ss tankers build - ignore the IO stuff the number of slots is the same for SO use.

I don't claim to have the most uber build going, but I do find this one works for me.

Feel free to use it as a starting point

TaMaTi · 09-06-2007 04:50 PM

question doint you need stamina

Illum · 09-06-2007 07:05 PM

Not really - as long as I have 2-3 around me for Energy Absorption to hit the end reducers in the powers seem to be enough. Low levels I had to rest between fights of course. I also tend to duo with an empathy defender so that helped too.

As always with these things, you may find stamina useful, but I liked having the extra power picks for other things like adding in the fighting pool to add some resistance on top of the defence.

You could always swap out kick, tough and weave to add in fitness (probably earlier in the build though)

New Dawn · 09-06-2007 07:50 PM

Needing stamina is a matter of playstyle and slotting. With so little def boost coming from EA nowadays plus the ability to use IOs you can see to your endurance needs with EA. Being defense based means end drain attacks are less likely to hit as well. A lvl up build would be nice from a Ice/SS and you might find stamina a good idea until you can 6 slot EA and then respec it out. I know I would.

He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.

Tainted_Greek_EU · 09-06-2007 08:45 PM

I thought he wants a pvp build judging from his other thread about ice tanks and some pvp advice about his build?

You need stamina to pvp properly unless you make a totally team based toon that will need an empath/kinetic backing it up

New Dawn · 09-06-2007 09:56 PM

Ah didnt look at that post! The words PVP just make me pass on it.

Star_Seer · 09-09-2007 08:03 AM

I prefer aid self to tough/weave, aid self mitigates all damage types

Psydock · 09-09-2007 10:27 AM

Ice tankers dont need either
