Ice/X Tanker Secondary

Pretty much as the title suggests.   Thinking of trying another tank.   What pairs well with ice armor?

Fire, fire, fire 🔥

i run ice/ss and ice/em tanks. 

 

but ice/ice

/spines

/fire 

/BA

/rad 

 

would all be good options.

Ice/spines is amazing because you get 3 taunt auras and 2 of them do (ok) damage.

 

i would imagine /rad would be equally effective and it has the bonus of Radiation Siphon for a patch-up heal to help when Hoarfrost is down.

 

You could go Ice/Kinetic/Soul and go all-in on the -Damage, but most people would agree that KM is not in a good spot right now.

I'll just parrot these:

ice/ice

/spines

/fire - I love this combo

/BA - Axe Cyclone "THE Tanker Attack"

/rad 

and add staff and Dark Melee.

Honestly though I'm not sure there's a bad pairing. Broadsword and Katana give a Def bonus for the "parry" attack, but those two sets have never done much for me.

ice/dark actually has tons of potential.  

 

i have a few dm toons, and that combo never crossed my mind.

I have great fun and success with Ice/Stone Melee.  A dirty snowball of beat down, that's nearly unkillable with all the Def and mitigation.

I had one back on live, and it was quite fun to play!  Certainly not the fastest to defeat enemies, but feels really powerful.  I've also grown to love electric melee, recently, so that could be a good choice...
