What about SS? EM is nice to high single target, but SS has some sweet stuff around too

The build you posted is pretty much my fire/EM build, but my stone/SS still can ditch out more damage ironic.

It's already a 50 and i would like to see your build if you outdamage fire/em with that combo.
I'll have a look but are you deadset on using just common ios? If you were going for sets what would your budget be?


 

Posted

Would be today or when IO's were out only a while? My most expensive LotG was only 15million In total i maybe spent 100mil max, EM only can rely on epic pool for any decent AoE while SS still have 1 of the best AoE's.. footstomp.

The budget thing was directed toward twisted, cant multiquote on my cell.
You wont outdamage a fire/em scrank build with a stone/ss in st damage.
I also reacted when you were saying that he should reroll ss when he asked for help with his 50, pretty disrespectful.
Help or don't post at all.

Awww, you were offended? Sad boy.

At least someone did post, makes a difference there isnt it?

Anyway, you dont believe it, so be it. I played mine long enough to know the difference between them. If you try to put words my side that i didnt say, so be it.. but dont try to be a [censored] thinking u are right.

(i never said the word ST, i said outdamage. Farm, groups, etc, get the picture? Probably not)

And dont worry, my EU sub runs out end of the month, i'll be gone by them US eventualy is a better place afterall.

I didn't get offended. Have fun on the us servers, you'll fit right in .

US forums have matured in a way, that, I actually think we should merge, as we would now prolly get along. Sounds bad I know but there is a different mentality between us and lets just say its swung towards being like us alot.

Sets can become more outdamaging than EM depending on what you slot I'd imagine. Those Procs can change things in terms of ST but I doubt much can touch /Fire superslotted and Ice/Fire is prolly the one to beat at that for all round devastation (+rechg so over time rather than fiery embrace).

I didn't comment on the OP as I expected someone else to have the mindset to know what to suggest. I'd rather scrap with a scrapper than with a tanker, tanks are just designed to do tanking and if you don't tank with it in some form your not being efficient with it for yourself.


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.

[/ QUOTE ]You mean a Brute? EM/Fire Brute would work better for this.

Well he already got a 50 of that flavor and wants to have something to mostly solo with.

Ok i understand that a tanker would be better for tanking (he was originalay built for a tanking role when i had regular freinds and teams to play with) and that a brute or scrapper would be a much better choice, but the thing is he is lvl 50 allready and with my very unsocial playing hours i hardly ever get into teams, so i thought a scranker type build would be a better option

Anyway i am trying out the build i posted and it's working out quite well, he's only slotted with regular IO's at the moment but he's slowly building his INF fund so i can slot some set's. (when i get around to understanding them )

One thing's for sure though, it feel's real good to play a toon again that i had so much fun leveling back in the day, so many fond memories of freind's and all the scrapes we got into

(but the toon i realy need help with is my fire/fire brute, he really sux )

Ack, sorry, I missed the part where you said you have this at 50 already..

Glancing over your build, a thought or two:

Whirling Hands is one of the weaker AoEs in the game. If you're soloing, you won't be facing large enough spawns to milk what little usefulness it has out of it, and you don't need it to keep agro off anyone, either. Sure, you could herd, but that depends on what exactly you're fighting (as in, can a solo unbuffed unsupported FA Tanker handle large groups of whichever faction you're up against). You might want to drop that.

Again, if you're mostly soloing, you could drop Recall Friend. Even if you group occasionally, by level 50 most people either have a travel power or can easily buy a jetpack from FBZ.

Finally, I'd drop Acrobatics, and grab Temperature Protection in its place. Doesn't cost any endurance to run since it's an Auto power, and you can slot a -KB IO in it (costs 75 merits or a variable amount of Inf depending on server, time of day, alignment of the moon...). It also gives protection against -recharge effects, which means they'll gimp your Healing Flames less when you encounter them. If you can get your hands on one, get a Winter's Gift -recharge resistance IO as well to stack with. You don't need the Hold protection Acro grants, either.

In the place of the other two, you might want to look at Burn and one of either Rise of the Phoenix/Stun/Melt Armor.
