Are you using Mids?
The "test 11" seems to yield better results from what I'm viewing.
But with the revamp to Frozen Aura and Freezing Touch there's not a whole lot of issues with Ice Meeele (GIS still sucks for DPA but I doubt that'll ever be fixed)
Soul Mastery is best if you want to maximise defense, otherwise its Ice or Fire for damage.
I am using mids, but not for the graphs.
As far as Ice Melee, I do agree that it is not as suck-tasktic as it once was. I've been playing this toon since issue 2 and remember the days of only being able to run one ice armor at a time.
I was leaning toward build 11 myself simply because of the extra status, damage, 2hit, and haste.
No thoughts on the builds from the peeps on the tanker forums?
[QUOTE=Santa_Laws;3247544 - Some status effects have a massive effect on me. [/QUOTE]
What, specifically do you mean? On my Ice tanks the only thing that I ever run into that bothers me in PVE is Fear. Since Fear isn't listed in your Graphs I am assuming you didn't mean that.
Also, on build 7, what are you running that causes such a high end consumption? Not like it really matters much with EA though, just curious. Not sure if you just don't want to or what but showing your builds or even just adding the data chunk/link would probably increase the responses to your post. Its a little hard to comment when just looking at some of the numbers.
As always, this is my opinion, your experience may vary.
-Fractious
Virtue and Freedom
Too many to list, mainly Tanks and Scrappers
In light of the inherent fitness coming and my getting the 60 month Vet Reward, I decided that this is finally the time to respec Santa, a lvl 50 Ice/Ice tank.
To prepare for this, I have been saving all sorts of IO sets and influence and openning up all PPP and APP so I could make a better build.
Some of the problems I am having is this:
- Ice Melee simply has very few heavy hitting attacks.
- Weakness to Psionics (but who doesn't)
- Some status effects have a massive effect on me.
- PVP is ok, but when I attack, I do not make headway.
So, to combat these issues, I played with the new Mids version and came up with 11 new builds. Comparing them to my existing build, I have narrowed my list down to 2.
Following is a list of graphs with only the pertinent data shown. The builds are listed to the right and is shown with my current build for a comparison. Please note that fthe fitness pool was removed from all builds. All builds vary because of powers selected and how they are slotted.

So in your estimation, Which build should I go with based upon these numbers?
