Need help with a ice/ice tank

Can anyone please help with a ice/ice build for a tank? I can't use MIDS since I have a Mac. Would like to be able to solo (to a degree) and use him in a large team. If anyone does post a build , make him a beast .. Thanks for any and all help!

What kind of budget are you looking at having for it?

Influence is not an issue.. I have plenty from my other level 50's. Never run a tank though.

Thanks!

I'll let someone who's played an Ice/Ice tank before help you with the details, but you might find this information useful.

Someone over in the Mac forums has put together a Mid's Wineskin Wrapper build that you might want to check out. It's a bit out of date at the moment, but at least it's something.

Okay, was away for the weekend, so kinda figured that someone else would post a build here, but now that I have returned, I can certainly work one up for you. Are there any other restrictions that you have? Certain pool powers that you want or don't want? Any specific goals besides being a beast?

Okay, did a quick little mock-up for you until we get some feedback from you on any specific direction. This build is over the soft-cap for S/L/E/NE even before Energy Absorption or the +3% Def IO. While this build will be tough to take down, you are missing a few things, such as a good ST attack chain until you pick up Gloom at 41.

I would highly recommend taking this build as a high-level respec build, and while leveling up, pick up Ice Sword early as well, and push back everything from Chilling Embrace on until you've gotten up in level a bit. If you're intending to team a lot, you might be fine without it, but soloing will be fairly slow without it.

Thanks Aett! Can you post the code for this build so I can copy and paste to put in Mac version of MIDs when I get home? That way I can look at numbers.

Thanks!!
