Hey guys my Fire/SS tank just hit 47 and I thought I would IO him out as I'm starting to hit 50. I spent an hour or so in Mids trying to think up a build ( I'm kind of a noob when it comes to Mids.) The build below is for recharge and perma-haste and hopefully end my endurance problems when I hit 50 I plan to go the Cardiac Alpha slot to help with end problems I might have had. If the good community of the forums could help that would be great.

Thanks for any help.

Please forgive the double post and the identical threads as my internet almost died on me trying to post and i hit the refresh button and it posted two instead of one...again I'm sorry.

If you want the most survivability out of your Fire Tanker, aim for 32.5% Melee + Ranged + AoE defense. That puts you one small purple inspiration away from the soft cap. Otherwise, its fine to try to be an offensive Tanker with Fiery Aura.

Impervious Skin is hurting your resistance. It doesn't get near the ED cap. Consider using a different set and possibly slotting your attacks for recharge bonus if you really want perma-Hasten. You can get by fine without Hasten, though.

If you would like, I will post a different build. I have to know what your goals are first, though. Do you want a good amount of defense (32.5%) with a good amount of offense? Are you only looking for offense and neglecting any defense you would have to go out of your way to get?

hmmm ok I have to be honest with you guys. This guy is mainly going to be a AE ticket farmer for fire farms. So i don't really know what that would require in terms of offense and defense. Although I would like to farm at +4/8x or +3/8x so I belive that would change the build a bit. Also if you do have build please post that would help a lot.

Farming +4s requires decent survivability. Even at 90% resistance, you will be hurting without defense. This build reaches 32.5% melee/ranged/AoE, and it will be great for tanking or farming.
