This makes me want to make another FA/ Character.
Iv done FA/SS, FA/FM, BS/FA, Claws/FA, MA/FA, and none of them where bad at all.I only used FA for Tankers and Scrappers, but now I have 1 Brute with it right now as well.
I guess im just the weird one who does exceedingly well on Resistance builds.
Whoever negative repped me for my previous post before this one and said this needs to please read up on the game and how it works. "fire/fire tanks aren't hp capped. Unless you build for s/l def, I highly doubt you were 'main' tank."
As that previous post clearly mentioned, you need inspirations to get your defense and resistance high enough while fighting Recluse to last. Depending on your base build, the type of inspirations you need will change up. For Grey Pilgrim, my Fire/Fire Tank, he has about 22% defense to melee, AOE, and Ranged, 70% resistance to Smash/Lethal, and about 50% to Energy and Dark. I purchase my inspirations accordingly so I can have about two tier 3 defense and resistance inspirations to get me to the levels you need against Recluse when the four towers are up.
Even then, a Tanker should have someone hang with them while fighting Recluse. He will hit you despite having insane levels of defense, and he may hit you enough that you need heals. When I have tanked Recluse, I have needed more than just Healing Flames, even with defense and resistance levels the number gurus of the game suggest for the STF.
I'm not talking out of my rear end with my Fiery Aura advice. I have read other people that know the numbers better than I do discuss the STF, and taken their advice. And then I saw how well it worked in game. I wouldn't advise people that Fiery Aura can main tank for all the encounters in game if I hadn't actually done it and if the numbers didn't work out.
That probably wasn't an issue for most, but it is worth bringing up here, given the contents of this thread, and since someone felt the need to neg rep and make that comment, which does not match up to how the game works. I would hate to have that person continue to have the misconceptions they clearly have about the game and Fiery Aura.

Huh.
That's a helluva good guide. 
It's refreshing to see somebody call it like it is.
Dammit, now I want to try one of these out of sheer cussedness....

I don't have that option for some reason. I'd rather read what people want to say on the boards. If it's not on the boards and it's a down rep comment then it's done by someone who likes to crawl back under their rock.
Suffice to say it wasn't me. I guess some people like to set people off.
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.

Im not even complaining about it either, Reds my Favorite Color.

Oh, and market prices are never too high; it's impossible for them to be, because it's a market, and will over time always achieve the correct result.

You can if you read the little balance scales under your posts. I don't really care about rep, but I noticed mine had gone down, so I figured it was for this thread. Sure enough, there it was.|

I only posted it in here, as I think no one should struggle under the misconceptions that negative repper did. Fiery Aura isn't a Stone Tank in Granite, but it does just fine for tanking in game.

I dont even know how to down someones rep, and im too lazy to figure out how to turm my Rep Bars off.The same person who upped me 2 bars after posting 1 time is known to me.
His name is Lucky666.
This is prolly also the same person who down repped you.
Also, your the one person who's defended my statements on the capability of a Fire/Fire Tanker, so in my book, your alright.
I should probably turn my rep bar off, as I REALLY DON'T CARE. Just putting that in there again, so no one else has to feel like saying "it's not me!" 
I can guess it's either someone who disagreed strongly with me in a post, or (more likely) someone that disagreed but didn't feel like debating in the open, given their comment.
I really do not care that I was down repped. I put that comment out for all to see so we could clarify how Fiery Aura works and what it is capable of- as you can main tank with Fiery Aura for anything in this game. Just plan and build well... which I would recommend for just about any AT and powerset.

Ha anyone ever tried to do a DB/Fire scrap? I never see any, to me it looks like a potential AoE monster. Can anyone confirm this maybe?

Knowledge of AVs is well worth having. Sometimes what they can do isn't half as important as what they can't do. It's what they can't do you can take advantage of.
You must be aware that in order to tank you must keep taunt control otherwise someone else is the target and so no matter what your methods you should try to keep a threat level higher than those around you.
Everyone knows that in order for you to help others then sometimes those others have to help you back by using some of their powers, but..it can be a case of helping you back by not using some of their powers. Knowledge of other people, their powers, comes over time and is of helpful use to, as at the end of the day we all have to fill our roles. How we choose to fill them is upto us.
