Is Willpower/Ice a bad tank combo?

IMO ice is better suited to being paired with shield or DA or fire - sets that need an extra bit of survivablity. WP is solid without much help from the secondary.


I am an ebil markeeter and will steal your moneiz ...correction stole your moneiz. I support keeping the poor down because it is impossible to make moneiz in this game.

WP's main weakness seems to be burst, and Ice Patch does a bit to break up the bursts. IIRC, that's why I went with it.

After thinking about this, I think I'll have to roll one for my stable of alts.

One thing, I don't get just throwing the numinas in RttC. RttC is one of the best powers in the game and needs to be six slotted. I do a mix, and do switch it around on respecs & second builds.

[Edit: seems this thread implies that my Dark Watcher proc is kinda lame in the power. http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showt...rise+challenge ]

I'm thinking my favorite now is two Dark Watchers including the proc, Two from a heal set, maybe Miracle, getting me 2.5% recovery, uh...maybe another tohit debuff...don't really remember.

But in a key, epically amazing power, I always six slot. RttC is a proc holder, if nothing else for those other two slots, and there are good damage procs to be had [again, if memory serves.]

disclaimer: I run this on a kat/wp scrapper, so not exactly the same, but a tank might/should have the mobs clustered around him even longer.
