A Mighty Change

Okay... I've been talking about it for a few weeks, and last night after getting together a build I like in HeroPlanner I've ditched the old Mighty Quinn and started a new one. This one is based on impending changes to Tankers, specifically Ice Armor, and Taunt. Oh and Power Slide + Ice Armor looks cool

Yes that's right the new Mighty Quinn is an Ice/Stone Tanker like he was in beta. His pools will be Fitness, Leaping, Speed, and an Epic (no point in picking that yet).

The basic target for me is what I liked about each set in beta: Ice Armor is defense, and Stone Melee is Damage/Status. So he's skipping Chilling Embrace and Icicles (no living Caltrops) and is not rushing to get Hibernate. Won't be getting Hibernate or Hurl Boulder or Buildup either. Hibernate is nice for the quick heal, and sheer untouchability, but since you're 100% immobile and unable to act I never much liked it. Hurl Boulder is way too short a range to bother with for the damage (and people are complaining about Lazer Eyes, hah!) and Stone is damage intensive enough that I could get away with skipping Build-Up.

So here's the build as planned:
