Help please - slotting my WP/SS Tank

So I tried an Ice/Ice Tank for managing aggro but I didn't enjoy it so I have gone back to my first Tank to try and fix the problems I made with him, If I have messed up the build too much I will re-roll WP/SS because I know I don't have a respec available right now. Please help with my build I'm currently level 26 I'm unsure which powers to slot next etc. Take a look at the following link for my build; http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/3550/buildku.png
Thanks for your time (:

First off welcome to the game and the forums.

Secondly, there's a program called Mids Hero Designer on http://www.cohplanner.com/ That will allow you to build up a copy of a characters power selection, and switch out powers, enhancements as you see fit.
It's a great tool for working out how your character will end up looking, what powers to take next and what slots to place where.

Thirdly, what's your budget with this toon? I notice you're using SOs (Single Origin) so would you be designing this toon with only SOs in mind, or would you be able to afford the cheap generic IOs and the cheap Set IOs?

And finally, I'm sad to say you didn't enjoy your Ice tanker. I hope you'll have better luck with your WP/SS (although personally going from Ice/ to WP/ is a huge difference for me.)

Also, remember that we'll be getting a Freespec with Issue 19 either this coming Tuesday, or the Tuesday after Thanksgiving.

So, you won't need to reroll for lacking a Respec, as you're about to get one! And, you'll get Health and Fitness as inherents and get 2 extra power picks (as you have swift/hurdle already).


Also, you should read this: http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Enhancement_Diversification

The basic point, don't slot more than 3 of any SOs into any given power. The 4th, 5th, and 6th are basically wasted.


Now, for me, you have WAY to little offense. But, I tend to require my character be able to solo efficiently.


As the previous poster noted, get Mids. It is awesome.

Alright, I will wait for the free respec (:
I'm downloading the Mids now. I didn't know about the Enhancement Diversification I see I've over-slotted many powers which are not needed.
I hate the little offence I have, I'm unable to solo but once I respec I will add more attacks. I can't afford IO's atm that will come once I hit 50 and gather some influence for now I'll be sticking wit SO's. If anyone has any WP/SS builds I can view would be greatly appreciated!
