Looking for a viable Ice Armor build.

[Owenknowone]

Perhaps Im over thinking it but does anyone have a god like build for ice armor?

[Major_Decoy]

I have any number of Ice builds that don't exist.

 

Or maybe you could give a clearer definition of godlike to aim for.

We had a healthy discussion, here:

 

 

AVALNCH is what I wound up with (Ice/Stone Melee), and he's pretty unkillable and just silly with SGF absorb, MoT stacks and incarnates.  Current build:

Do you have a secondary in mind?

That one is Ice/Ice and can hang with Recluse and other such "calamities" so its pretty tough.

Absolute Infinitum - Tanker (Ice Armor - Ice Melee).mxd

[Owenknowone]

To clarify im running ice / rad.  AoE agro magnet.   The issue I run into is filling ice weakness.   I love ice armor but I hate feeling squishy.  Goal is to just be a sponge for agro and damage yet maybe I'm picking the wrong set.

[Onlyasandwich]

In a thread a while back, I put together my version of an Ice/Stone Tanker focused on as much protection as possible without completely sacrificing attacks.

 

The basic idea should be portable to other secondaries. I believe @PLVRIZR has some great builds in the linked thread as well.

 

This particular build manages to hit softcap for all types but Psi (no more fire hole!), and even beefs Fire and Psi resist to respectable levels. you also have the absorb proc in Seismic to keep you rolling with extra pad.
