I guess that Ice Melee is really just that unpopular! lol
Looks Fine and expensive.
Call of the Sandman is interesting. Let me know how it works out for you. In an AoE it might actually be moderately reliable.
Taunt is under slotted as well as Against All Odds. Any scrapper with a taunt aura (besides WP) is going to pull aggro off you very easily. At least put a taunt IO in AAO.
Are you REALLY going to miss the 2 seconds that the 4th Recharge IO grants in Hasten? If not, that free's up a slot you can put in AAO or Taunt.
You could gain an extra 50ish HP by slotting a LotG instead of the Hamio. Could slot a Kismet +ToHit in Grant Cover, just an idea.
The Regen Tissue proc in health would be helpful as well.
(if you do the LotG instead of hamios, and pop the Numina's proc instead of the Heal/rech in True Grit, you can add the Regen proc in health. Keeping the sameish HP and increasing your regen quite a bit)
Why not put the Steadfast Prot +def proc in OwtS and that will free up your slot to add some more res into Tough.
I would personally do 3 or 4 slot of Perf Shifters in Stamina. 6 slots is a little much. Yes I know you get 5% recharge... But at the cost of 6 slots in a power that only needs 3-4 to do well.
Just some pointers to think about.
Your character does not have capped defense. Depending on your AT the cap is between 175% - 225%. Your defense is not teal in the combat window, it can go higher. STOP SAYING IT IS CAPPED! The correct term is Soft Cap.
I enjoy playing in Mids. I specialize in Melee Characters, other AT's usually bore me.
I'm looking for a different tank, but a tank, a meat shield, an agro soaker....so here's my idea Shield/Ice for large teams to taunt and AOE damage.
What do think about this?
