Posted

Just came back to the game after a long loong break (not voluntarily thought) and picked up my old fire/fire Dom.
I just have one little problem with it. I've forgotten how to play the game!
Well the power picking and slotting part at least. (Don't get me started on IOs.)

So I could use some refresher advice aon how to build it.

This is the biuld i think i was going for (if i remeber correctly)

So what do you think?

For a PvE design that seems pretty solid all round and seems to have a lot of interesting power choices.

I personally wouldn't go for teleport as fire primary is rather end heavy and you may burn out to easily. Plus if you are going down the stealth route, SS would probably do you far better. Particularly if you want team teleport later on.

I'd also recommend getting Stamina at 24 and grant invis at 28, with invis at 30.

Only other thing I'd say is that incinerate is not hugely essential - on my mind/fire dom I respecced it out when I found I could kill EBs without it.

All of the above aside, you could easily team with this design, but you may struggle to solo on anything higher than Malicious. Plus I like the unorthodox design you have here. If ya want any more info PM me or lookup ingame @Starscreamer

I'll defintively follow your advice on the stamina and I'll think about incinerate.. that it's a melee is kind of a drag, not to mention that it's a DoT.

As for TPFoe I only use that when i solo. Smoke and then a TPF lets me thin a out a mob before facing the LTs and bosses but TP and Invis is mostly there because of the concept...

Hmm, ill give u some advice...

IMHO, fire breath is a little 'weak' for doms... I mean, if u play a corr, then if u can scourge it, it will be awesome, but with domis... u will feel like u r attrackting too much aggro and fire/ doesnt have much tools to control...

In other hand, I wouldnt skip hot feet never, since it will make the enemies try to enter u to melee and then, run back sssslllooooooowwwwwllllyyyyyyy... in all this time u will be able to kill them, so it is easy achieve that enemies attack u once as much, or maybe twice... That is a nice control power... This has 1 problem: teaming. If u team a lot the aggro it generates will make u faceplanting a lot, so if u like to teaming, then u should skip it... But i would consideer it, i wouldnt skip it...

Well, i dont see the point in using TPF with ur toon... U can use flares or fire blast to pull enemies after applying smoke... In fact, i consider TPF the way to pull if u are a meleer, but u have a lot of ranged attacks... Only if u want to pvp a lot it would be usefull, and not really, since u will tp ur enemy close to u, and usually ppl will be much dangerous in melee than ranged, so i dont get ur point...

Have fun.

Yeah teaming you should be ok.

Might want to take Stamina earlier. 20-30 might be a slog with a bit of pain in it otherwise?

Also with soloing, above Malicious could very well be tricky, but you'll need to be pretty cautious with anything to forego the medicine pool.
