Returning Player Looking for a Fire/Fire Build

Hi All,

I am returning to COH after a long time off. I am wondering if anyone can give me any help on a good fire/fire build at least up to lvl 32. I am currently running a very old build ( still have fitness Power Pool) and am looking for advice to update to the current Issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

For anything before final build, I'd focus on ranged attacks and use Hover/Flight in combat to stay somewhat safe. Make sure to get Aim & Build Up, slot each with 3xRech. Slot attacks with 2xAcc, 3xDmg & 1xEnd. Pick up a single Karma -KB or a BotZ -KB of the lowest level you can afford and slot it in Hover. Make sure you have 3xEndMod in Stamina as early as possible. I like to fit a L20 Miracle +Recovery and a L30 Numina's +Regen/+Recovery in Health as soon as possible, too, but those may not be in your budget (alignment merits help a LOT here, can have both in four days).

Powers to skip (for now): Fire Sword, Combustion, Fire Sword Circle, Blazing Aura, Burn and Hot Feet. Yes, that's pretty much your entire secondary. Those PBAOEs require some survivability to be useful and at this stage you just won't have enough. I'd probably also skip Blazing Bolt and maybe even Fire Breath.

Pool power options (for now): As I mentioned, I like Hover/Flight at this stage - range offers quite a bit of survivability on its own that can only be negated by using PBAOEs and melee attacks. I also like the Leadership pool at this stage, especially Vengeance. Hasten is a nice pickup if you can fit it in, though you likely won't have it up all the time at this level. The Concealment pool is good, too (skip Stealth). Phase Shift is a godsend for squishies.
