I know ya fire/ss but id like to see my fire/fire up against mms.
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.
Fought a fire/ss tanl 1 on 1 in sirens with an em/ea, and can say it was conclusively a draw hehe.
Your heal is good, and he also had tough going, which would give him good s/l and both shields for good nrg, not sure what other powers, but he had to go on the defensive as I don't think he had consume,, well never saw it fire off, and my energy drain kept his end down to.....well i can run defences and heal, but thatss about it.
In team pvp I can see you being able to tie up a brute quite nicely, but not so sure about solo.
If your on defiant put in a post after this, i have 2 brutes who could go to warburg and trial itfor you 1on1 if you want.
i know fire tanks are the most damging kind of tanks about but how would a fire/ss tank fair in 1 on 1 combat in the later pvp zones (warbug,RV)
