Ymir the complete tank!

So im fairly new to playing Ymir, but after my last few matches I absolutely love playing him super tanky, its fun to run around and freeze people and never die, and thats exactly what this build allows you to do. Ymir has to be by far the most versatile tank in Smite right now, along with great CC he alos has a devestating ultimate that does crazy damage regardless of your build. I will add more info on skills and how to use them at a later date, this is just some of my initial builds that I have found work really well for me so far. Thanks, and any cricism will be gladly taken and discussed, no need for flaming though.

I love playing Ymir, and I love playing him tanky, just because it is so much fun to run around the enemy team and see all 5 of them trying to kill you with no luck. However much fun that is, i dont think this is a good build. You dont get enough focus out of the items you have. Ymir with full focus, might not be as tanky, but when you can freeze people for 4 secs almost, and wall for 7 secs, it helps your team so much more

Seems like with these items you would be really hard to kill...guess you will rely on DD for this build pretty heavily huh?
