look 4 the issue 6 notes every 1s been nerfed
You are not allowed to use a standard build any more.
You must conform to enhancement diversification or you will not be having fun.
Tanks in general, and fire tanks in particular have had defence and offence reduced considerably since I4, Burn now has a greatly increased recharge time, fear effect and reduced damage, and the enhancment diversification has nerfed our defences to 3/4 of there previous levels.
This is my build at the moment:

its not perfect the defence is not maxed one more slot in tough and Fire shield gives me just 1% more resistance and six slotted in each gives me just 1% more so the difference from three to six slots in S/L resistance is 2% not in my opinion worth it. This means that I'm relying on 'tertiary' powers more for defence such as healing flames.
My Offence feels better I hit more and have a cleaner kill rate but it now takes me 2 or 3 hits with my AoE's to finish off a mob so shoehorning in 3 slotted hasten to increase the recharge rate may help or dropping in Burn may help but only as an end cycle blast.
All in all I can still tank I still fell useful, but operating solo I still feeel like a tougher tanker and I desperatly need team support in larger groups.
ive just respec'd.
And I [censored] love it.

burn might have been [censored]...
the ed does my head in...
But this spec is working for me.
Long live fire... 
need acrobatics at 26... and I feel like a tank again.
cost me a bomb tho...
anyone want to lend me 10p for a cup of tea????
Hi... beeen away for a few months and things seem to have changes.
Im possibly being stupid but I cant find any info on the latest build.
So some questions. Im a lvl 23 fire/fire tank (with fitness and leaping) and I used to use burn as a main offensive power. The AI seems to have changed and now the mobs run away when I use burn... which kind of defeats the point.
Some advice would be great pls.
What should be main offensive attack be at this lvl?
Burn seems to be a waste of time... Should i use combust? or BOF? or go for fighting??
And is it me or does the timers on my powers to seem to take longer...
Ive tried getting on the tc but to no avail.
Any advice would be great. Thanks...
