I have a level 50 Ice/Ice tanker. I have recently started to slot myself (that sounds wrong, doesnt it) and have finished the Luck of the Gambler and Red Fortune sets. I am wondering what sets to get next. I have an avarage budget of someone my level who doesnt farm 50-70 mil.

Going from 1 to 50 should have given you plenty of time to ponder how to tweak your character out at the end of his career.

What is your playstyle for this character? Knowing yourself is key to determining how to enhance.

Well you best way to get info on Tankers is go to the Tanker forums.

Also if you don't have Mid you should get it. Here is a link to the the site.

It will help you plan builds out, it is a little out of date but it is still go to use.

I don't know about everyone else, but that's not how I've IO'd any of my characters out. Is there something you regularly have problems with your Tanker with? Or something that you wish it did, or did better? My Defender has better HP and Regen than a basic Regen Scrapper, and my VEAT has every pet and boost power (IE, the VEAT +HP, Hasten, etc.) on perma.

Think what you want to do, check the existing sets to see if it is possible, and then start picking sets out.

People are asking questions to get a better idea of all things, so that they may better answer your question. A blank: "What next plz" really doesn't give anyone any scope on what'll be useful for you.

As they say "Help us to help you".

Best to tell us your build and your budget. In the Tanker forum that is, you'll see specialists there.

Definitely get Mids as was suggested. Just because you have one Luck of the Gambler (LotG) set doesn't mean you can't do another.

Then ask youself "What can I do better?"

You take too much damage? Get something that ups your defense or your regen.
Run out of end? There's a set for that.
Powers take too long to recharge? There's a set for that.

Mids has a feature called "Set Bonus Finder" that will help you find a set to give you whatever you want.

Also, consider the things you tank has a lot of, in order to magnify the bonuses you might want.

You have an ice/ice tank, so already we know that you have several defensive powers, and most of your attacks have a Slow component. Two of the slow sets offer reduced recharge on all of your powers, which is great, but requires a large investment in Slow, which is probably going to reduce your overall damage.

If you don't care about that and plan on being a team-based tank, cool.

If not, frankenslotting lower quantities of slow sets, maybe into in a couple of your attacks can get you +acc, +end and +recovery.

Sadly, I think all defensive (and resistance-based) IO sets are pretty expensive, that's just the way it is.

On your path to 50, did you exclusively team. Did you solo? Any particular tough opponents? How tough were the Rularuu on you when you were in the Shadow Shard? Did you find the Save the World mission tough or easy?

Did you dread doing Peregrine Island safeguard missions on difficulties higher than heroic since a lieutenant Dark Ring Mistress is not even as tough as a boss Dark Ring Mistress?

Your experiences as you played the game to 50 should highlight what areas you might want to boost, travel speed, damage, accuracy, health, etc.

As a general advice for an Ice tank, I'd suggest you go about finding set bonuses in this order:

First: Smash/Lethal and Energy/Negative Defense bonuses
Second: HP and Regeneration bonuses
Third: Recharge (and Recovery if you for some unfathomable reason need more than Stamina and Energy Absorption)

Also, cool tags.

Well, if you don't care, I would advise six-slotting Brawl with purples. Seriously, if you don't care, we can't tell you much of anything.
