Come on you knew this question was going to be asked soon enough.

Right now I am planning on taking ALL the /thermal powers on my DS/thermal because by the descriptions they all sound good. However which powers are not as good as they sound?

Forge? (ill have assault and tactics)
Heat Exhaustion?

I was considering sidelining plasma shield, but then I remembered Arachnos (who are one of the fews enemies that give my MMs trouble).

What would you skip from thermal on a DS MM ??

I'll pretend I didn't see you suggest not taking Forge and/or Heat Exhaustion.

Clearly a MM can skip the rez. It doesn't work on your pets. Maybe skip Thaw if you're not diligent about watching your henchmen's status (that's not meant to be insulting, I think you have to be paying pretty close attention to do that).

I haven't tried to make a build for the combo yet, but with wanting to take the DS attacks, a Combo with Thermal looks to be pretty tight.


Global = Hedgefund (or some derivation thereof)

thanks Deacon I did not realize the phoenix rez doesn't apply to pets, I will skip that for sure as my MMs rarely team. I think I want thaw (yes im very diligent to their dazed wanderings), although they seem tougher than ninjas or zombies I think I will try thaw and see how often I use it before considering respec out.

Forge ? really ? is it that good? what is the rech ?

I would take Forge over Thaw any day on a thermal solo build mastermind.

Remember, you get a free second build for team vs. solo or pve vs pvp after level 10.

HelinCarnate:OMG it is so terrible. I have the option to take 3 more powers but no additional slots. Boo F'ing hoo.

I am building a DS/therm and was curious about this too. I had heard that the rez is actually a high-damage AoE attack, and it might be worth taking as an offensive power. This would be akin to taking the dark rez and using it for its debuff properties. What I don't know is whether the thermal rez needs a dead teammate to actually work. Anyone know this?

If I need someone on my team to die just to get a nuke off...well, guess that makes the rez skippable.

That, or I should get vengeance AND the rez!

You need someone dead to use the therm rez and cant use it or veng on one of your henchmen


/gignore @username is the best feature of this game. It's also probably the least used feature.
