Fire/Fire Scrap Question

My favorite toon is a fire/fire scrap with a build that I am very happy with for zone play and KBs (when I can get in them). I currently run Concealment, Fitness, SSpeed, SJump.

However I am having some trouble consistently winning in duels. I mostly run into psi/ems, therms, some doms. A friend of mine suggested I swap concealment for medicine, as he says fire armor with the amount of recharge I have would be super hard to kill with HD off. He also believes I should go body epic for FA and LBE (hold proc + -resist proc).

I just wanted to hear what you guys thought.

As a side note I hate aidself, however if it is a must for a fire armor dueler I will learn to like it.


I am PL in RL.

I'd stick with phase (you should have it if you don't) and take weapons mastery over body epic. Keeping your opponents grounded with webnades will be a step in the right direction. You can also take shuriken and proc it out for a ranged attack. Also be sure to have taunt for the -range, that helps alot when dueling ranged toons.

With the fast recharge heal, and phase you shouldn't be dying. That doesn't mean you are going to be winning, but you shouldn't be dying.

first off you are going to have a hard time beating psi/em with a fire scrapper. As for therms wait a few weeks and you will be straight fighting them. Go fire mastery and pick up char and fire blast, and proc the hell out of them. Take tactics instead of phase. Thats why regin is so much better because you can take phase and tactics. thats about as good as you can do with that build.
