DB/Fire?

Has anyone ever played this combo? I've been trying to find a fun PvE toon to play. And DB/Fire looks like it could offer some decent AoE and such.

Haven't played the combo myself for more than a few levels, but should be an AoE monster from my experience with both sets. If redraw bothers you, you'll have issues since Fire is a clicky set with healing flames and consume. It's a 'weaker' secondary, but DB does add in a fair amount of mitigation with the powers and the combos, particularly sweep.


They ALL float down here. When you're down here with us, you'll float too!

It's a pretty fun set. I have a level 50 that has a few set bonuses(nothing major). It's fun with the AoE, but pretty squishy compared to the scrappers I typically used in the past.

I've got a /fire scrapper at level 35. So far, i'm not impressed with fire's survivability. I've got an /elec scrapper at 39. It's much more solid then the /fire. I think with very high recharge in fire's heal, survivabilty should improve, but that's more of a level 50 status, then a "during level up" status.

One thing I like about db/fire (acutally my toon is claws/fire, but it's simliar in this way)... double-stacked blinding feight combined with blazing aura is about as much damage as a spines/dark running 2 auras for half the endurance cost.


I gotta make pain. I gotta make things right. I gotta stop what's comin'. 'Least I gotta try.

I never felt it get much better all the way to 50 and I was BS/FA and even heavily leveraged Parry to get to levels of survivability that my other level-capped scrappers (DB/SR, MA/SR, DM/SD, DM/Inv, FM/WP) exceeded by leaps and bounds. She was a fun character from a concept perspective, but easily my most disappointing lvl 50 scrapper. I might have to try /elec at some point. I do enjoy damage auras.
