Ice/Fire, cheap build, may need work.

So I pretty much just wanted a super cheap build that would be able to tank. I will make a better build once I get to a level 50 and make some money. Make any changes/suggestions/or send me a completely new build, doesn't matter, I can take ideas from everything.

Ice/fire, great combo, i love mine. The powers you took are solid, but the slotting needs work.

--An ice/ tank does not need to slot taunt in anything, really. With 2 aggro auras, and Chilling Embrace ticking so fast, it's utterly unnecessary.

--To that effect, CE is overslotted, Icicles underslotted. CE does fine with the base slot, especially on a leveling build, and Icicles needs end redux.

--Depending on your tanking style, Taunt could be put off till later in the build. I bounced around with combat jumping, using the large radius of Combustion to tank fine for a long time.

--Energy Absorption is WAY underslotted. Ice is great to play on SOs because of this power; you want it slotted for +def, recharge, and some endmod can be nice as well. Ice can softcap itself with Combat Jumping, Weave, and an application of EA even in a small spawn.

--Taunt only needs acc in pvp.

--Tough is really nice to soften the hits that will get through.


Here's my take on it:

I think double-slotting end reduction in a non-damage toggle is a waste in general, but IMO it's even more of a waste if you have a end recovery power like EA.

The extra end you recover from the second end reduction is miniscule; so drop an end red slot from GA, FA, CE, Tough and Weave. Health could use an extra slot, and Icicles another damage slot; do what you like with the rest.

I also don't see why you'd need to have Taunt recharge in under 4 seconds, but unless the goal is to move to sets later, the slots aren't really needed elsewhere.

Finduilas: all good points. I knocked that sample build together pretty quickly, and those would all be good tweaks.

To the OP, hope this all helps!
