Ok, I had a post on here a while back about my fire/ice tanker build, and after taking some of your suggestions, I came up with a final build. I have tested it in several TFs, farms, and general missions, and finally feel like a true hero again.

In boss farms, I rarely ever see my health bar go into yellow (or even yellow green for that matter), but when I do, healing flames heals me for +850 hp and recharges every 14 seconds! In lieut farms, I dont get hit (I'd say 1 out of 20 hits me, no exaggeration), and in all other modes, I feel right up there with the stone tanks, invuls, and willpowers. I am loving being able to gather guys up and hitting ice patch so they cant run and then laying down a build up+burn (just shy of 500 damage each time).

All in all the build cost me about 800 million inf.

So without further ado, here's the build. Enjoy and thanks, and if you have any questions feel free to post. ***also remember this is a lvl 50 respec build, not how I would normally choose powers lvling up***

Here it is

Nice, I have been working my fire tank to 50. Getting pretty close and I need to get some IO sets to make fire into a "tank"

I dont have Hasten, but I also dont miss it either. About a 5 second difference in HF, but with the extra 500 hit points It isnt a big deal. I am almost finished with this IO build, and so far it is much better than my old one.

Just something else for you to look at. It is not necessarily the best, it just works for me. I am liking Quicksand in the build, just wish it worked better.
