I would still rather play Fire Blast on a corr, or blaster. Sure, it will pump out the most damage for a defender, but it still lacks scourge that corrs get, or the higher numbers of a blaster. I only recently started playing a /thermal, and I like the idea of it coming to defenders.

Nice to see Wolverine forcing himself into yet another team. Even a DC one.

And here's a guide to Incarnate that covers enough info to get you going.

I'll just toss out the idea that this was done with a PuG, and not with a number of friends. Friends who know you would have been able to deal with the situation far better if for no other reason they would have slowed down and taken it at a pace that you could have handled for as much as the trial would allow.

Saying that, I went through my own period of time where I had anxiety attacks when playing Kin, which is almost comical considering at one point me rolling a Kin was like me breathing. That was just me playing it without the shouts of "SB meh" adding to the pressure. I don't think I touched the set for over a year if not two.

I'm stating the obvious, but the reason FA pumps out so much AoE is that it basically has two damage auras and a second BU. Damage auras should be the best source of AoE damage. Add that to any melee set that also pumps out AoE damage and it's tough to compete against. FA is without a doubt the squishiest armor set using SOs. It's little more than a blaster with ok mezz protection, a heal, and more HP. And then you factor in IOs and Incarnate....

Tanks will out damage scrappers only when talking about AoE based tanks versus ST based scrappers.

They don't seem to have horrible synergy because they do. I would Hover blast as a way to minimize the KB by making it KD. If you got it in the 40s, then I see little reason not to finish it off unless you really dislike the build. To me there is nothing wrong with getting a build to 50 and then retiring it. You could just let it be your badge character, or the one who works the market, etc...

I can't recall if 11% is normal for me, or not, but I still think it's a crock you can't unlock the slot after one successful run.

What's interesting is the OP's consistent posting looking for a framing build and even during casual play and not really doing it in the past week I have two farming builds at 37 and 39. My point is, I could likely have a level 50, if not two of them in the fraction of the time this person started to look for a farming build and by the time they actually settled on one.

Really, all of the info one needs has already been posted. One can make a farmer using just SOs/common IOs. There are two reasons to make a farmer. One, earn tickets asap. Two, to PL other people. Since there is a cap to the amount of tickets a map gives, it's really not that hard to find something that can reach that cap. If you want something to PL others, SS/fire brute. [/thread]

This says nothing of me causally hitting the market this past week, or so and making over a billion from purely the market, ie no drops, no tickets, etc... All I need to learn about the market was by looking at the market itself. I had a billion on a character before I even looked at market guides.

Invul with a melee set that gives even more mitigation and has credible AoE gets my approval. I also like letting people play what they want to anyway, so if Invul/ice sounds good, go for it.
