Help with my Fire/MM build


BRUIS3R

 

Posted

This is an old 50 I was dusting off and wanted to fix it up a bit. You can tell what kind of budget I have by my choices in sets ( the purple in rain of fire I already have and was just goofing off. I hear it's better in fireball ? )

I never really solo with this toon but would like to try and get as close to s/l soft cap and keep ranged up. I don't plan to farm with it but I hate dieing so am willing to give up some damage for survival.

I'm not adverse to changing the build all together if someone has one for about the same budget.

What I like about this build is it has lots of aoe and cold epic has nice defense and an oh s@#t button. I tend not to do any melee on my blasters. I'm the hover/ranged type of player.

I couldn't justify slotting a 2 billion PvP IO + a purple set with the build you have. You could do better for that kind of money.

I don't think you get the set bonus from fly unless it's on. So those slots are a waste.

I don't think you'd need aid other or aid self with DP ?

These Set Bonuses are always on, even if the power in which the Set is slotted isn't activated, and even if that power is greyed out due to exemplaring! However, you do start to lose the bonuses if you exemplar more than three levels under the level of the IOs in the Set.

I threw together a budget fire/mm in this thread, and really liked how it turned out. If you're willing to spring for kin combats, you've got some extra slots to play with. Uses the mace mastery epic, though, so it might not interest you:

My own opinion is that if you're not willing to spend a bit of time in melee, you're missing out on some great stuff from /mm, but different strokes for different folks. If the toon is played mostly as a hover-blaster, I'm also of the opinion that you're better served by capping ranged defense (than s/l defense) and combining that with a resistance based armor for layered mitigation. If you decide to go that direction instead, force and electrical epics have some nice "oh s#*t" buttons as well.
