Fire/Shield

Hey guys can you have a look at my Fire melee/Shield build and give any advice on it. Im having trouble against AV's so far with Chimera. It not dying but having trouble making any dent in his health. My attacks are either missing or he regens too quicky for my next attack. I guess i need to slot a accuracy IO some where but need some help. I also was wondering if any ones knows a good attack chain i should be using thanks

I havn't played a shield scrapper before tho i have played a fire melee scrapper. and i very recently had a go at creating a Fire/Shield powerset.

I personally am very impressed with your set, it looks pretty solid to me, and you will be dishing out the damage quite easily, looks like quite a good mitigation set to me =)

(steals ideas from Worcupine, hehehe)


Ps: you have quite a few expencive and very rare sets on your build, the PvP IO with the +3% def is going for arround 2b inf atm and there are none being sold, i don't know how rare they are as drops or even where exactly you get them (maybe PvP zones only????) so despite your build looking pretty killer, it's gona kill your wallet and your exploration time. good luck =)

If you have enough influence for both PvP uniques (the +3% def, +3% res) then why not invest in purples? You have way more positional defense than you need and surprisingly a low amount of recharge. 40% recharge isn't going to be enough.

This is my current build so it did take alot of inf. and farming . I have been meaning to look at purples esp. Hectatomb but not sure where to slot, I suppose in GFS for big damage. I worried about losing the softcap, would dropping softcap % in range make a big difference you think.

Also wot sort of recharge should I be looking for?

thanks for your help

Thanks for all your comments guys, please can you take a look at my new build and see if ive made any head way, really im having hover and fly for character purposes
