Thoughts on DM/FA or FM/DA?

During the double xp weekend I messed around with a few alts, one of which was a Fire/Dark controller. I enjoyed him for the weekend, but really can’t keep interested anymore; I’m a melee at heart.

Anyways, I do like the concept and background I mentally created. So, that got me thinking of a FM/DA or a DM/FA scrapper. I’ve never played /DA or /FA before. Is there either combo that would work better. I’m not sure on the epic yet.

All opinions are welcomed.

thanks

I got a fire/da up in the 20's did not keep him because I done /da twice and I had fire already so i kind of abandon the project any ways it was actually a real good combo.

I was also doing a dm/fire but again I got to the early teens and dm done it twice as you can see in my sig so i needed some other project so i abandoned that one too. In the early levels i preferred the fire/da personally

Advantages of dm/fire burn, siphon + Healing flames is nice, Fire damage aura does more damage than dark damage aura and fiery embrace is going to be nice i am sure. Soul drain to go with burn

Things I like about dark better easier to softcap s/l damage, cof or OG, fsc sword + damage aura equals sweet; heal IO out right can get 700+ hp per mob,

Both sets work it is a matter of what you prefer

DM/FA could be ridiculous - two heals, two endurance drains, two +damage powers. Geez.

I'd probably do it as a Brute, but yeah. Crazy.

Why as a brute?

Brutes BA is a taunt aura, so that stops runners. BA doesn't crit but Fury does make it do more damage, same thing with Burn too. (At least I don't think burn can crit)

Brutes have a higher Resistance cap, 90%. With being FA you will get Fire up to the cap.

The two heals will be better because Brutes have higher Hit points.

BrokenPrey's got it right. I also think it would be fun to have both Dark Consumption and Consume on a Brute, since you don't want to slow down any more than you have to. I haven't really played any of my Brutes since the change to Fury, but I imagine that never needing to stop would still be a good thing!

I have a DM/FA that I took to 50 before Stamina became inherent, with no Stamina - relying on the two enddrains.

It's squishy. It's also a fluffy, fiery ball of doomy doom. Seriously fun.

Do eeeeeeeeeet! You won't regret it!
