Respecing is it worth it Fire/SD

Posted

HI all I am thinking about respecing my current Fire/SD scrapper so he uses a bit less end, gains some Regen and also a self heal. My hope is that he will then be a little better at taking on Avs and TFs solo.

My current build is not slotch mind but I do somtimes find him sucking end. Incarnate wise I only have T4 Alphas Cadiac slotted at the mo but hope to run some more trials soon.

I just want to make sure if my new build is any good or is I should just stick with my current build. And it goes without saying if anyone has some nice ideas about how to improve on either build I would be all ears.

Thanks for all your help in advance.

My current build is

Bump just in case anyone has any ideas, still not made my mind up, might pull the trigger on the new build latter this week.

Thanks

With i21 you will be able to take Aid Self without needing Aid Other. So I would delay your respec (or plan another) until i21, drop Aid Other and take Grant Cover in its place.

Otherwise it looks fine. Your build is tougher than mine at the cost of some rech.

No you will not be able to take Aid Self before taking Aid Other.
Only travel power pools may take the T3 without T1 or T2 power in issue 21.

***

Your second build looks fine.

As was said in Gran Torino, "Your world is nothing more than all the tiny things you've left behind", let CoH be one of those things. Don't forget, forgive.

Are you sure? I'm disappointed.

That'll teach me to say things without testing them first.

Yeah, it is sadly true. Respecified my Shield/Fire tank on beta and was still forced to take Aid Other before Aid Self.
