I personally have 5 fire attacks on my Fire/Dev. The toon is very effective and fun to play. I honestly do only use the 2 main ones (Flares and Fireblast) 85% of the time, but the other attacks come in handy to fill in a chain if your recharge is in the low 100s or less, plus you can get some nice bonuses out of slotting AND still be competent in PvE. I really think fly is useless, but everyone has an opinion. IF you choose to retain flight, I would suggest picking up Blazing Bolt cause that will basically be your purpose in a zone. Also, without SS, if you get webnaded (which you will) you are toast with flight. My toon uses SS,SJ,Fitness, and medicine. Being devices you can get decent perception out of target drone plus the perc proc, but if you are zone mostly and arena rarely, I would go leader instead of medicine. BUT, considering you are in SC you will be left without the epic heal if I am not mistaken so it is just up to personal preference on that front. Mine is arena more than zone, hence the choice of medicine (which has saved my butt on more than one occasion.....). Also, I have taser (don't laugh) but if I were to spec for zone, I would possibly swap it for caltrops. Although, I don't know how many times taser has saved my butt in duels AND in zone by dropping toggles if nothing else. It actually stuns squishys rather decently, but dont expect to stun a brute or scrapper for any extended length of time. Dont waste your time with the mines or gun drone IMO. This is just my experience with Fire/Dev, which I love dearly. Anyone else out there with a /dev might chime in to offer up some advice.
I play in SC mostly. My main question is really about the choice of power pools.
Right now I have: Fly, Leadership, Fitness, and Medicine.
I really like Fly. I know it's a nooby thing to get, but it works out pretty well with me. I have always had fly but sometimes I would like to switch to something that I can duel with. Having fly makes it difficult to duel. I didn't have fitness for the longest time and always had to watch my end. I like having aid self too. I dont use it too often, but when I need it...it comes in handy.
Does anyone have some tips/advice on what power pools I should get. I know I need Leadership and Fitness, so if you know a good combo with that, it would be great.
I also currently have Fire Blast, Flares, and Blaze which I love. But most people question why I have 3 fire attacks because people say I only need two.
