Fire/Shields build critique

PowerStream · 03-11-2011 09:05 PM

So I used Fury's cheap build as a template. Since it still included the old Stamina and Health I made some changes. I'm not sure they were for the better. Plus one thing I hate is Confront(what was I thinking?). also what Incarnate should I be going for?

Right now my main goal is teaming and running TFs. It's a tough build when it's exemed so I stick to the 50 stuff mostly.

Thanks!

edit - Also I know I need to get my accolades and what not but to be honest this toon was not my favorite to level and I thought I'd shelf her once she hit 50. Then I saw Fury's guide and it brought new life to this toon for sure. Now I play her non-stop and between her and my spines/dark they are my main Incarnates.

It looks fine if your goal was to make an inexpensive build. The only thing I would change is the defense IO in Phalanx Fighting. It has a 3.75% unenhanceable defense component that is always on, and it grants some defense for allies nearby that is enhanceable. A Kismet 6% to-hit goes nicely in Phalanx Fighting and shouldn't break your budget. I can't remember seeing it in builds other than Shield Defense, so it isn't a high demand IO even though it gives a nice bonus.

Thanks Syntax42! So another question - what would I be looking to give up in order to replace the Body Mastery with the Fire Mastery for Melt Armor and Fireball? They fit more thematically.
