Build Advice

OK, I asked a while back about the viability of a fire/ice tank as part of pentad team.

I've now come up with a build and would like any advice. It will mainly be a tauntbot and will be used for pentads, so will have healing support.

Few bits and bobs to suggest tweaking, the inevitable disclaimer: Although I have played a Fire/Fire in the past and my Fire/NRG is 33 atm and doing pretty well in SC I dont claim to be an expert.

1. Your shields will be fine with just 1 end redux and 3 Res buffs really dont need anymore than that in my experience.

2. I have healing flames with 2 heals and 1 end redux as it can be an end hog and 2 heals does just fine beacause coupled with hasten you get a pretty good recharge rate.

3. Super jump doesnt eat enough end in my experience to need a redux so I slot for Jump instead.

4. Blazing Aura could do with 3 end redux if you are going to run it all the time I find it eats end pretty quick.

5. Consume could benifit from an Acc.

6. Not sure about your support teamwise but if you aren't gonna have a Sonic Resonance or Emp with Forti around I would advise trying to fit in the Fighting pool and Tough as Fire isnt the strongest of Res sets.

Have no real experience with Ice Melee so I wont presume to advise on it.

All this is just my personal opinion and I hope these bits of advice help

Cheers,
