Bump. So anyone have any thoughts on the above build?? I would like to solo, SF and maybe even cross over to Blue side and tank a bit on this build can it be done? Can this build do it any help or surgestions would be grand, I have save 4 bil now for the build and he is now at lv 39 so the time for IOing draws near.
Many thanks
Your build as it stands seems a bit unfocused, with some good bonuses missed and some unnecessary ones gained. You could also get more out of the expensive purple sets by swapping the single aspect IO for the proc in each one (i.e. Hecatomb: Damage replaced by the Chance for Negative Energy Damage). A combination of max HP/regen and +recharge is a good idea but I'd try and get some defence bonuses as well, aiming for either smash/lethal or melee, to give you an extra layer of protection.
If you go for melee then Touch of Death and Obliteration in attacks and Titanium Coating in toggles would give good bonuses but need lots of slots, so smash/lethal might be a better option for you, using Kinetic Combats and Reactive Armour mainly. At around 25% defence you should start to see a large increase in your durability and with your budget you'll be able to get there and still get high recharge/regen/HP numbers (I'd highly recommend getting the +max HP accolades too).
I've tinkered with your build a bit to go for more S/L def and still keep similar levels of global recharge and regen.

I tend to build resistive sets (besides Invuln) for +Rech and +HP.
+HP is by far a better bonus than +Regen.
Why do you say? Why Mr. Pine? I will tell you why.
+HP does exactly what it says, increases HP. By doing this, it allows you to take more damage (so its almost like adding resists, if you get what I'm saying) PLUS it will add to your regen (More HP means more HP/second regenerated because the regen rate is a percentage of your MAX HP). Finaly, and I could be wrong about this, but I believe Healing Flames is based on your MAX HP, and not your Base HP. This would make Healing Flames actually heal more adding even more survivability.
Lastly, +HP bonuses are friggin' easy to attain and are usualy only the first, second or third bonus. Most of my cheap builds just build for +HP.
Your character does not have capped defense. Depending on your AT the cap is between 175% - 225%. Your defense is not teal in the combat window, it can go higher. STOP SAYING IT IS CAPPED! The correct term is Soft Cap.
I enjoy playing in Mids. I specialize in Melee Characters, other AT's usually bore me.
Hi all I am lving a new fire/fire brute and as my first FM and FA I am loving him. I have decided to put aside 4 bil for his build, but I am worried about my lack of experance with FA as it is so different from my usual invin and WP toons. I have read that I should build for Recharge and Regen so I have had a go at a build that look ok. I would like this toon to be uber so any tip would be appreciate.
