do personal force field and burn /ignite stack?

like is it an effect on the ground were it causes damage to mobs because it's like a mine and not a PBAOE toogle like hotfeet/blazing aura?

because I'm wondering which epic pool I should take for a rifle/fire I'm going to solo mobs with pbaoe.. just an idea don't bash it just give me ideas to improve.


was looking at
Cold mastery for the defense toogle and heal
electric mastery for defense toggle and ultimate defense
flame mastery bonfire, melt armor and defense toggle
force mastery for personal force field and defense toogle
soul mastery for the stun and defense toggle.

what should I go with I don't want to tank but solo mobs?
I have worked out builds with capped melee pve defense and I was wondering what can be done to boost solo pbaoe builds

I don't want to make a fire/kin sorry.

I had picked Rifle for ignite.. for two burn patches would those stack and if not what other primary would good?

Those will stack, although neither are very large (but both are still good powers).

A PBAoE Rifler is an interesting idea. So much of the good stuff on Rifle is cones, so you would normally play at range, but I think your concept could work.

Here is a possible idea, I took Full Auto because it is just too juicy to pass up, IMO.

the idea was he was an Ex Vietnam vet who used to use the flamethrower and he learned how to control it.

if I don't go with that primary I might go with elec/fire/ice

which would be a good elemental sorcerer theme maybe

and with the fitness changes in i19 I'll be able to fit in medicine

this is what I was looking at I'd hope for 45% smash/lethal defense and just enough knockback protection I made one today with that but deleted it =p

You are going to want to slot up some single target attacks. The AoE powers use too much end to just keep spamming them once you have eliminated most of an enemy group (although you could just run into a spawn, unleash your AoEs, and then run to the next spawn without worrying about killing off the few survivors, so if that is your plan, maybe you can skip the single targets).

You are going to want Stamina at level 20. I guess if you are already high level or plan to get PLd and you never want to exemplar down that low, it is fine to wait until 28 (and of course in a few months you will get Stamina early automatically).

Blazing Aura for blasters is bad. It does too little damage for too much endurance in too small of an area. I'd take Build Up sooner and be sure to use it as frequently as you can.

what I wanted to do was make a fire/fire tanker in blaster form so it would be an aoe solo herder
