I have only seen one AR/fire blaster.

I never seen a AR/TA blaster yet although heard a few exist.

I havent seen many ice control/TA controllers.

out of those two, I would go vigor since the other stuff is already capped anyways. Plus can never have too much regen. It helps get that hp back full for those times you get hit.

good stuff.

I played blasters in the beginning and then melee and got hooked on tanks/brutes. Then one day decided to roll a Dominator. 1-50, easy stuff solo. Since it was the first of my earth/fire doms and one of the only other non-melee and only other toon to even touch IOs, this is one of a kind in the stable.

As far as powers go, I picked up all powers of the primary besides stone prison and all of the secondary even though salt crystals and combustion wasn’t used or even assigned to the tray. They was picked during those times nothing else I wanted was available and or used as a mule for a few IOs. This toon was built before players could switch sides and before fitness was inherent and have not been respeced up this point due to the semi-retirement of it and only come out of retirement to try out the alpha content on a non-melee toon and then back on the shelf thus far since the third day incarnate stuff went live.

Primary-
Fossilize was the first power I picked up and eventually slotted it SOs and 5 slots. 2 Accuracy Enhancements and Three Holds.
This probably was the power I most commonly used. The hold lasted a long time and easy to stack with the current 5.52 sec recharge.

Stone cages- Used sometimes, if ever but only 2 Acc SOs

Quicksand- It was used fairly often. Two Slow Enhancing SOs and called it a day.

Stalagmites-Fun stuff, good stun, fairly good recharge so it got six slots. 2 Accs SOs thee recharge SOs, and 1 Stun duration SO. This leaves a bunch of the mob stunned for up to 20 secs without domination, which is enough time to dispatch them.

Earthquake-Fun stuff to watch do its stuff. Six slot with Kinetic Crash IOs. It increased the knockback effects plus I got some extra regen, kb protection, and recharge. Probably some other stuff I hardly noticed.

Thermal Vents-Another good power. It's good off the bat for me so I only 4 slotted it with one Acc, two recharges, and one hold duration, all SOs.

Animated Stone-Another good power. It's like having a built in tanker without bothering with teams. So I popped in 5 Expedient Reinforcements and called it a day. Never had problem with him before IOs and never had problem with him afterwards. This is a very useful pet.

Salt Crystals-A "meh" power to me for solo so I let it stay off the trays with 5 slots for Call of the Sandman. I had the whole set drop in the 40s and couldn’t sell them for even 1 inf so I decided to use them and delete one. This made two things that I didn’t care for somewhat useful.

Secondary-

Flares-One Acc one damage SOs. Not used much but good in a pinch when somehow recharged was much slowed and didn’t have a choice in skipping this one.

Incinerate-Good stuff, three slots 1 acc and two damage SOs

Fire Blast- 4 slots 2 accs two damage SOs.

Embrace of fire- 3 recharge SOs

Combustion- Another power that didn’t have must usefulness for me but became somewhat useful for two Sirocco’s Dervishes I had laying around for 10% regeneration.

Consume-Wasn’t used often but when it was needed, glad it was there. Three slots two end modifications and one acc SO.

Fire breath-One of my favorite fire powers for this one. 5 slots two accs three damage.

Blazing bolt- Had three devastations hanging around, just wanted one more but accidently bought two, thus five slotted with it.

Blaze-Also good power. 1 acc. three damage, 1 recharge all SOs.

Of course there was the standard three recharge slotted hasten and Stamina with Health full of IOs of the Num. and miracle type.


Patron powers-

Charged armor-5 slotted 2 end reductions and 3 resistance.
Surge of Power-Gremlin mode. Just three resistance. Rarely used but fun stuff.
Mu Guardian-For those few times that the living stone pocket tank needed someone to drain some endurance from the mobs. Three recharges.


Alpha-Spiritual Core Revamp-for the recharge and stun duration as a side effect.
Judgment- Fire of course.


This was one of the easiest to make survive non-melee toon I played thus far. Pre 32-drop down earthquake and or quicksand, fossilize one and then destroy them with whatever power I choose. After 32 air drop the pocket tank rock soldier into the middle of the mob, stalagmites, quicksand and or earthquake and then go to town. If boss is involved might pop domination might not, but if domination is used, a fossilize worked and let the rock go to work. If not, volcanic gases fossilize and kill the boss one by one while the rock keeps the rest busy or the mob is too busy running in slow motion while falling down and or stunned from stalagmites. So many different tactics work with this toon it was never a boring monotonous day. But alas, her storyline ended and after coming out of retirement for the DA arcs, murking them and going back to retirement, there was no purpose for her until the next big thing comes along.

Well at least it seems more populated than Victory. A little bit easier to find teams on triumph even durign the day than victory on their best days. And the people are as just as friendly but more of them on triumph.

This is with Single Origin Enhancements only although the IO for kb is mentioned but I use other methods

My fiery aura is a resistant based set that I play with a more offensive strategy than other armors. Most critters in the game are not very fire resistant if at all and take a good amount of damage from blazing aura and burn without even using a power from the secondary.
There is a knockback knockdown hole and an immob hole. The immob hole is one that I barely notice during gameplay but in later levels, the fiery aura tank do find itself being bounced like a basketball at times. There is an IO for this and acrobatics also fills this hole. In the case of taking acrobatics, combat jump fills the immob hole too although I rarely use combat jump. On one set that I took fly on, a little spin in the air didn’t bother me so I skipped any of the other kb/kd resist/protection powers.

My fiery aura is specialized in fire resistance of course but also have good resistance to smash/lethal especially with tough and some and enough for me resistance to cold, energy and negative energy.

Titan Weapons when coupled with fiery aura is not much of an endurance issue but I slotted one end reduction in each power to make it even less of an issue, especially when fighting freaks and their Super Stunners. It not much of endurance hog as any other set that I played when coupled with fiery aura and slotted with one endurance reduction per attack.

Blazing aura is the largest of the endurance using toggles in the set. Usually I put two endurance reductions in this power for good measure and don’t bother taking and or using it until after its slotted and after consume.

Consume and Healing Flames- Two powers I never skip. Healing flames is up in relatively short order in less than thirty seconds. I slot with recharge and heal and not for the resistance. Not many hard hitting toxic damage mobs to come across and that slot I use for heal and recharge.
Consume is good when battling mobs with end drain especially freaks and or Malta. Low on end or they sap the endurance, hit consume and it's good as new. It's up at about every two minutes or so, which is enough for me for to be there when I need it.

Titan Weapon- Powerful set, good cone attacks and an aoe. Arc of destruction is awesome when slotted. There is no power I skip from this set besides taunt as I just couldn’t fit it in for my purposes between the primary powers and the other more useful for my purposes, Keywords-MY PURPOSES, of the secondary powers.

Fiery Aura/TW shines when there is a large amount of mob available to defeat as it dispatches them in short order. In cases where mobs are scarce, some of the powers seemed wasted.

I found this combo to be a fun set to play and good for teaming and solo with a good damage aura, endurance control, and resistance. It's a good break from the WP and electric armor stable although my fiery armor feels like a sort of alternative electric armor. Instead of specializing in energy resistance, it specializes in fire resistance. Electric armor has quicker recharging endurance recovery but a slower recharging heal. The tactics is nearly the same but the fiery aura tank tends to defeat mobs more swiftly than my electric armor but both are equally good for me.

[QUOTE=DSorrow;4358870]You missed the point of what I said, sorry if I wasn't clear. What I wanted to say was that you don't need to have your text 100% correct by an arbitrarily chosen ruleset (there are as many rulesets as there are communities using the language), but it needs to be readable. If your audience says they are having a hard time connecting with your text, you need to do something about that.

From the looks of it it wont never end regardless and it's not about the last word either.

And no there was no reaction, no emotions, none of that, just mere observation of how says this about standards and stuff but turn around and dont write exactly to those standards they try to force on others.
In writing terms, what I said still stands.
Look, if proper writing grammar is going to be pressed on others than they too at least write in the proper manner by the book themselves. If formatting it the issue then they to should write in proper English writing formatting which singel space for paragraphs and double between in one document is not proper English formatting. Easier to read, yes, maybe, but not proper. Now decision needs to be made on is this about ease of read or formatting? Is it about improper grammar and improper formatting or just my improper grammar and formatting? Thus far, it's coming off as just about my grammar and formatting and I'm sure as mentioned earlier if you go into a store and they charge everyone one price and then when it's your turn they charge you higher price you wouldnt not be happy camper and probably would wonder why. Exact same concept here.
Why is my improper grammar and or formatting or anything else they can find is such a big deal yet, hundreds of mistakes in many other posts are ignored? And when I do point it out, it's rude and frowned upon but yet, it's ok for it to be done to me? There is obvious double standard here and the expectation of me just to shirk off to a corner without inquiring why is a mistaken assumption especially when I can bet here if they was in my shoes would have major issues with it, as it was displayed when I did point out their mistakes.

But I dont think another thread will happen like this again, at least, not by accident as now every thread I make has a disclaimer that in short points out exactly my mindset, what I'm looking for, what I know, and what I'm not looking for. The new threads as they are created will continue to have one for now. This is a way to decrease and or nullify any mistakes of intentions.
