The only thing that you might need to think about is whether you will be able to run all your toggles if exemped to levels 20-23 before stamina.
Also I'm not sure but would Healing Flames and Consume possibly be of use earlier in the build. Unfortunately I can't see space for them without slipping Tough, Weave or Acrobatics.
I would advise using DrRocks new shiny AT comparison tool ( in Player Guides ) to work out which powers have most effect on your survival.
@Unthing ... Mostly on Union.
I agree with unthing, you need to get stamina at 20 so u can run your toggles without any fuss. Id also recomend getting FSC earlier, since dmg is good and has AoE. If your going to be tanking alot, i recomend combustion also. FSC and combustion together are fairly effective IMO.
Personally I woulddrop Fire sword completely and Put in healing flames in its place, Next i would drop weave completly allowing you to put acrobatics in its place thus allowing u to fit in stamina at lvl 22.
I would also try and get in consume in as early as possible, maybe by taking the fighting pool a little later and aiming for tough before lvl 30.
Finally for the epics unless you solo mainly i would steer away the conserve and aim for the pyre mastery pool, picking up char/fire blast and fire ball, combined with fiery embrace / FSC / combustion / fire ball you will find you are arresting most groups with some end left and if it looks like u may run out hit consume for a full end bar again.
Note this ismy pve experience and i cant recall eva taking my fire tank to PVP so different Epics for certain maybe better.
I am totally with unthing and docholiday plus id have taunt at lvl 10! to tank the early cavern trial and positron id have hover in there (toggle on toggle off at herdpoints) and use the flyby taunt to get them to the herdpoints.
Ive spent alot of time as my firetanker in the bloody bay pvp zones haste and consume timed well can see you through the mu guardians, the great thing about that zone is the lack of knockbacks which is ideal for getting to acrobatics with.
Best tanker = best aggro magnet first then tough guy then damage dealer imo.
He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.
drop weave, it hardly does anything useful anymore, cept drain end
drop health, hurdle is a lot more useful when used with CJ
and i agree with those above, try to get healing flames alot sooner, id prob swap it round with tough
and as a epic,id recommend the fire epic, with fire blast/ball, u will be killing everything to quickly to worry bout damage, remember, a fire tankers best defence is his offence, simply u can kill stuff quicker than other tanks
and one question, when u pvp u team up or fight alone, cos if u team, u should get taunt in there somwhere aswell
hey all,
Just looking for some help in respecing my char. Currently a lvl 45 fire/fire tank. My main reason for respecing is cos of all the examplering going on within the pvp zones. I found out that i screwed up a bit cos when i went to bloody bay that i couldnt use my travel power cos the last time i respect i picked it at to high a lvl. So i'm looking for a bulid that will make my tanker the best tanker he can be no matter what lvl he is exemplered to. Ok that might be asking a bit much...
also wondering about leaving out conserve pwer at lvl 41 in this respec. it was great in I5 but since I6 there doesnt seem to be a need to focus on end powers as much now. My thoughts for the next respec are:
lvl 1: Scorch & Blazing Aura
lvl 2: Fire Sheild
lvl 4: Fire Sword
lvl 6: Combat Jumping
lvl 8: Boxing
lvl 10: Swift
lvl 12: Plasma Sheild
lvl 14: Super jump
lvl 16: Tough
lvl 18: Health
lvl 20: Weave
lvl 22: Acrobatics
lvl 24: Stamina
lvl 26: Build up
lvl 28: Fire sword circle
lvl 30: Fiery Embrace
lvl 32: Healing Flames
lvl 35: Incinerate
lvl 38: Greater Fire Sword
lvl 41: Conserve Power(would like to change if possible)
lvl 44: Consume
Any recommendations are welcome
