Single-origin enhancements should be more than affordable. If you can't afford them, I would give you the INF to get them just so you can do missions efficiently.
The first thing you will need to do is earn enough INF to put together an IO set build. If you have Going Rogue expansion, you can earn 1 alignment merit every 2 days. You can then turn 1 or 2 of those into an invention set enhancement. Pick the one that nets you the most profit per merit spent. Luck of the Gambler global recharges are a safe buy, but I'm sure there are other good ones. Do that a few times and you should have over 500 million INF to get you into a decent build. If you have multiple characters capable of soloing missions quickly, you can earn several alignment merits in two days. Even though they aren't transferrable, you can turn them into the invention then mail that or the INF from selling it to your primary character. A level 25 Luck of the Gambler global recharge sells for just as much as the 50, so you don't have to be using a level 50 to make INF.
Look around these forums for other Fiery Aura Tanker builds. If you find one that gets near 32.5% S/L and E/N defenses or melee + ranged + AoE, post it here and we can help you modify it to fit with Axe secondary. I'm assuming you want to use your Tanker for general content and not for farming.
To get you started here is the link to a Hero planner. If you're not on the Mac then Mids is best.

You're the one with the concept, the power choices and it'll help us to help you if we can see what sort of build you'd come up with and get a jist of what you find valuable. In the process it maybe that either you or we become better character builders from it.
I'd advise on around atleast 20% def from set bonuses or jointly from defense powers.

He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.
Also, you can use Titan Sentinel to port your build from ingame to Mids, which can be a nice first step so you're not starting from scratch.

Ok I hit the wrong key.....My enh are not dual but,single origin.I guess there might be level 50's out there with trainers but I am not one of them. I am looking for a build someone is currently using so I can determine what to put where for the set enh.
Thank you
Your best bet is to search the forums for a build with Fiery Aura instead of trying to tackle the entire thing by yourself. Post it in this thread and we can help you modify it to fit your goals. Not many people will make a build from scratch for everyone who asks due to the time it takes to make a good build. There aren't as many Fiery Aura Tankers since the Burn nerf and Brutes, even though Burn is fine now. The chances of someone already having a FA/Axe build are pretty slim.
Grey Pilgrim has an up to date Fiery Aura guide here, which should help you with the Fire side of things. The Brute forums also have a lot of discussion regarding FA, mostly for SS/Fire farming, that should help out.

Here's a build someone posted for a BA/Fire brute. Might help give you an idea of what to shoot for, though I will say I'm not a fan of full Obliteration sets in AoE attacks since it gives little end reduction.

Basing your build around Brute or Scrapper builds may not work so well. Base defense and resistance values are much higher for Tankers, so they won't need as many set bonuses to achieve the same defense or resistance numbers as Brute builds may have.
To start off me and my Sweety had quit the game several years back. Now that heros can finally go over to the good side we are back. With all the changes to the game in those years is there a viable fire/axe build out there that incorprates the IO and set enh? My level 50 tank is decked out in DO's mostly ++ and 53's. Thanks for your assistance.
