Fire/WP Build help.

HEy all,

I have a lvl 50 Fire/WP that I would like to IO out but I don't really know what direction to take it. I've played around in Mids and I don't think it's possible to soft Cap.

I looked around on the boards here and didn't see any builds to go by.

Any advice?

Price isn't an issue.. just don't include the PvP IOs as I'll never have any of those lol.

This isn't really help as such, but I had a look at build for Fire/WP a few times and the sets don't seem to mesh that well together imho.

Fire want's lots of recharge to run it's great attack chains, and WP benefits from slotting for HP/Regen/Defence, which tend to come in different sets.

Personally I would make a choice and go for high recharge/lower survivability, or higher survivability/lower recharge. You are unlikely to be able to get too much of both into a build.

I went with the higher defense / lower recharge that Princess Darkstar was talking about and I'm very pleased with the build. When running solo I'm as sturdy as they come and still do some pretty serious damage, it's basically easy mode, all win. Softcapped to S/L and E/N, 50% resistance to S/L, ungodly regen and recovery (despite running just about every toggle known to scrappers), and the pyre epic for a FSC and Fireball combo on large spawns.

Disclaimers first:

I just grabbed sets.. didn't fully look at the enhancement values yet to see if I have a full attack chain, but my gut feel is it's possible to run some good chains. I could probably rearrange the powers to get GFS instead of scorch and I'd consider reducing my regen to better slot Fire Sword Circle. So this is still a work in progress. I don't plan on playing this combo so I won't bother fully tweaking it out. But this should get you close.

Highlights:
Soft-capped to all 6 types. (prior to BotZ change)
Decent recharge
Excellent HP and regen

note: This is similar to the EM/Will brute build I have on live. That one works quick nicely.

Hmm Whiskey Jack's looks solid enough and not too expensive, I think the regen/recovery/rttc will be more than enough to make up for any attacks that do hit.
Does Fireball's AoE make up for no Cremate?

Shred's build looks good too but I'll never get that PvP IO lol

Basically I want to use this toon as my Single Target attacker (and since I already have him at 50 it saves me the time to lvl him up), if I want to go AoE I have a soft capped Elec/Shield scrapper.

Thanks for the input so far!

Hey Whisky Jack, took your build, made a few modifications, and now have the build that I am going to work toward on my new fm/wp brute. His defenses are only 38%, but his resists are 58% for s/l, and mid 30's on the others, along with a nice 683% regen with 1 foe in range of rttc. Thanks for that!
