Cheap Build for a fire/fire tank

Anyone know of a cheap build for one?

I have around 400mil..

Any ideas?

I would like for my tank to be able to herd some and not die.. I was told to go for recharge and damage.. But I dunno..

Fire can already fight and not die to some degree. If you throw in tough, weave, and combat jumping, and the 3% Steadfast global defense IO, you're partway there already. Maybe throw Smashing Haymakers into your ST melee attacks and Multistrikes into the PBAoEs until you can afford better, grab Hasten, and head out to earn cash?

I have tough on him already.. my big thing is that he runs out of end to quickly to do to much..

But yea.. my goal is to earn some cash with him..

Check out the builds and the advice in the guide in my sig, that should hopefully cover your questions pretty well. I would think you could achieve my IO builds in there with 400 mill, too, maybe less. I try to not make my builds too expensive, not having a lot of cash, usually.

I would agree with Finduilas that running out of endurance should be mainly a slotting issue (and maybe power use: don't waste AOEs on a single target, for instance). The builds in my sig are quite solid... the defensive one lasted for the 45 minutes of constant fighting it took my first Dr. Kahn run to defeat Reichs, with no blues used (and he had his shields, + tough and weave going). Sadly long fight, but it was the first run through for us when it was brand new.

Point is, the end use worked well! Slot your attacks with end reduc, as well as your toggles, and get Consume recharging as fast as you can. Also don't be afraid to pop blues... sometimes people are shy of using inspirations (not sure if that's the case for you).
