burn does come in very handy in tight spaces where they cant run too far, or with dumb enemies (arachnoids - mua ha ha haaa) it also helps out if you pull too many and need to leg it in a hurry. personally id say you dont need 3 end redux on BA, i survive with 1 end redux on each toggle and on my primary SMASHing powers. no stamina either, and still no downtime between mobs

I was gutted when i found out it didnt have combustion. thats why i went for DM/FA.

"more PBAoE please"
"certainly sir, have LOTS"

another option is to stand under something. that way the flyers have to come to you if they want you. problem solved.

Soul drain, imo, is the best power in the DM powerset. as a DM/FA i pull big mobs. soul drain their [censored] and apart from the moderate dmg it does, it boosts everything else to insane proportions. I'm lvl 35 and my shadow maul is hitting for about 40dmg per punch (on +1's) with soul drain and fury....i like it lots!!! I dunno much about midnight grasp, have been considering getting it for AV's/bosses, need more single target SMASHing (the only problem with the DM powerset imo)

WOW! now, i admit, i only read the first two pages of this thread, but DM/FA seems crazily under-represented. Actually i have only met two other DM/FA in game.

This is THE build. and u can quote me happily on that

My DM/FA is now lvl 35. if you build ir right you dont need stamina, end is only a problem vs AV's or in PVP (but dm/fa aint a pvp build by any means)

the point of the build is to kill stuff FAST pull big mobs, kill em. simple. fury hardly ever goes lower than 90% and currently I can get 50dmg per cycle out of blazing aura on +1's with fury and fiery embrace and soul drain.

DM/FA is all about PBAoE. its full of em. the DM ones are moderate dmg, and you have shadow maul - cone effect.

Only things you do NEED are acrobatics and tough (i may get weave at some point, but i've heard it really aint worth it)

To save end I have one end reduc per power, and consume/dark consumption are slotted for rechage. With this build you don't need taunt, BA does that well enough thanks, also even though burn aint what it used to be, it still has its good points in confined spaces

IF you want a build to take on AV's, go with stone or nrg. if u want to kill mobs FAST then this build is the one for you, FM/FA can beat DM/FA damage wise but DM/FA has extra heals and end steals which are very very handy for surviving without downtime, or stamina (it takes up THREE powers ffs. i refuse to have a toon with stamina purely for that reason alone)

personally i think its irrelevant if you lose fury between mobs. if you herd then the bar comes back VERY quickly. My brute only really loses it when theres only bosses left to kill, cause they dont attack fast enough to keep it up.

And, i dunno if this goes for other **/FA builds but i dont need brawl either...run to mob, let BA cycle once, run to next mob..repeat. After 3 or 4 mobs +1 lvl chasing you down, i'm on full fury before I even drop my other powers once. and then.....oh yes soul drain + fiery embrace + full fury ROCKS!!!
