FM/WP I give up

vinque · 01-19-2010 11:37 AM

Sorry for the hopeless sounding title I'm really just tired of looking at my build for my FM/WP. I wanted to create a build to run the scorch attack chain and have great survivability. I believe I created a build that does that:

I'm wondering if the sacrifice of 3.75% s/l def is worth it. Anyhow, like I said, I can't look at anymore. Anyone have any advice? Or, if someone just has a much better build that accomplishes my goals, even better.

I got you 45% defense while keeping the same recharge and roughly the same or slightly more HP, recovery and regen. Instead of Armageddon in FSC I had to give you Hecatomb in Scorch. No PvPIO.

Personally, though, I think a good amount of defense to aim for on characters who don't specifically have defense-based sets is 32.5%. This way you can eat a small purple inspiration and softcap your defense; also 1 ally FF/Cold Dom character's shields of any AT (not including their aura) will softcap you. It gives you a much larger amount of build flexibility than a softcapped WP and you can still easily softcap yourself in situations where you really need it. So you can also consider a build that has 32.5% defense to all damage types except Psi.

If you are going to run Scorch > Incin > Scorch > Cremate and can live without softcapped defense, I'd also suggest dropping GFS. In its place you can take Confront, which is a good Taunt set mule, or PP, which is just all-round good.

Thanks for the feedback, never even thought about using Brawl for Kin Combat, what a knucklehead I am. Also like the idea of dropping GFS for confront (Mocking Beratement does a few things for my build and it's a lot cheaper). Wow, after looking at this, I might have to rethink my entire build.
Well, I guess that was the point. This guy's only lvl 30 and haven't even bought an entire set yet so......back to the drawing board.
