Hi, I am just wondering. Is there any difference with the above. Been trying to decide which 1 to build. Any advice is appreciated.


Opinion is heresy.

The tanker will be easier to softcap while having less damage and vice versa for the scrapper. Both are good choices IMO.

In a nuthsell:

Tank version easier to softcap defense with weave/hover/steadfast. Does less damage (but still respectable).

Scrapper version, will need IOs to softcap, does much more damage.

Oh yes, of course the Tank version will likely be expected to hold aggro for a team. The scrapper can just focus on kicking booty.

Yes, I like Force Fields.

Been there done that. Already have 1 that is almost IOed. So wanted to do something different for a change.

Any thoughts on how well a Shield/Fire tank would do? Seems like the AOE damage would be pretty darn good between Combustion, FSC & Shield Charge, while still having some excellent single target damage with Incinerate & Greater Fire Sword.

Teamed with an SD/Fire while playing a DM/SD Scrapper and he kept pace pretty well, if not ahead of the game in some scenarios since he started IO'ing his build before me and had more available AoE. In a single target field the Scrapper definitely held an advantage, but for the rest of the play it was solid.

Throw /Pyre in there and it's absolutely amazing. I made mine my new main.
