Getting set to craft first alpha ability soon..

Hi,

I am getting close to crafting my first alpha. I am running a fire/fire/fire brute. I'm noticing some survivability issues with large spawns. My damage is ok, with Blazing Aura, Fireball, FSC and Burn doing most of my dirty work.

I'm thinking about the Resilient Boost for the 20% dmg resistance. i don't know if I'd keep that slotted long term though. Also looking at Cardiac to upgrade to the End redux/dmg resist. (May go level higher for the shift).

Agility looks good for the end mod and Recharge. The defense buff would be nice, but I'm not sure how far that goes on a resist based Fire Armor brute with Tough running.

I need more work on the build, I know i probably will drop breath of fire for something more useful...maybe weave? I'd post the build, but don't have access now and it does need a bit of work. I'm thinking this is not enough info to get some feedback on, but I'm not a min/max player...mostly casual. Thanks!

Actually no, Resilient is now up to 33% resist at tier 4.

...having said that, it's a little tough to say since we don't know your build. On my fire/fire scrapper, I went with physical perfection instead and grabbed Spiritual Core at tier 4, to get FSC/Incinerate/Healing Flames boosted a bunch.

I actually went for the Spiritual alpha..that is the recharge one, right? That's the one I took..I figure it will bring up my heal faster, as well as Consume when I respec. I have to kee telling myself I am not a Stone tank in Granite, I am a fire Brute!

Once I get my head wrapped around that, survivability should increase for me...

Thanks for the replies!

Yep, that's exactly what I did. Spiritual Core helps fire/fire nicely.

...and the added healing helps too.
