Hey all, I want to respec my fire/fire tank and go for a S/L defense capped build. This is what I came up with. Any Thoughts or comments are appreciated.

I should also mention that I wasn't aiming for the high Melee defense, it just kinda happened.

The Gladiator is either very expensive or hard to obtain. I see alot of builds with these lately and all I can say is wow.

Anyway what I wanted to do was give you something that I would expect to be a damn sight cheaper, with better end management more offensive and without giving too much of the whys something that will defensively feel barely any different.

He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.

Thanks for the reply. Definitely a build to consider. I didn't realize Gladiator cost 2 billion influence... and on top of it there are none available on the market. I expected it to be at most 600mil or something.

Well if ya have 600 million to spend on one slot then ya should afford my suggestion.

As with all my suggestions there is always room for improvement. I have x amount of time and have to live with the constraint.
