fire manipulation has nothing useful for pvp except RoF... and THAT is a stretch.
some might say alot of mule powers?
if fire primary roll Energy manip. BR son!
RoF = Ring.
Here is an expensive version with force. Most epics and patrons can work. I enjoy pff for evading more than the extra damage from patrons/fire mastery.
Code:
You can do it cheaper. just build towards 70% rech 60%+ acc and hp cap with accolades and fit in 41 kb protection with acro.

I am by no means an expert.
That being said, I strongly disagree with PowerFlame.
It all depends on whether you're teamed or solo.
In a 1 vs. 1 arena setting, yeah, fire's pretty weak compared to some other powersets.
But, on a team, in a zone, team buffs can help tremendously.
Now, Hex, I have a question about this build you posted - wouldn't the OP be better maximizing defense instead of resistance?
And this knockback thing -- I don't think my squishies have ever had a problem just using a token knockback proc. My fire tank has 3 karmas and 3 steadfasts and that toon hasn't had a problem with knockback either (in pvp)
I'm just curious how often you guys run into these elevated kb numbers.

Nice necro post you have there. All that aside, Fire Manip is not good... at all. Defense sucks in PvP. You do need at least mag 41 KB protection to be safe in PvP... there are cases where you would need more, but they are generally rare. Force Field's Force Bolt has a loooot of knockback on it.

I can agree with that.

Fire/Fire/Fire Blasters do a lot of damage, especially with Reactive. (Had to keep it somewhat on topic.)

That would depend on the team, of course. I know the last time I pvp'd with my fire blaster, we had an emp on the team running tactics and spamming CM. Helps see those stalkers sneaking up, especially with some of those 4tier yellows. And, clarion, barrier, Ageless - any of those would be helpful and could be carried by a blaster. |

But, to be real specific, the fire blaster has a nifty -hp debuff on his foes. It's called Fireball.

That power is horrible in PvP and generally not even used ever since I13 was released, so tell me exactly WHEN was the last time you PvP'd if you think Fireball is a "good" power to use in PvP?

Not that I PvP anymore or was even a regular in the old days, but maybe i12 since he talks about defense as a 'good thing' and questions the 41 kb thing |

Way to not realize he has that as his sig.... Biting Vex's style too I might add.
