PvE SS/Fire Defense Build


Black_Assassin

 

Posted

Hello everyone, i would like to know if anyone has a PvE build built for survival. As much defense as possible without sacrificing major damage and recharge. Something that could handle the incarnate content.

It would be much appreciated if you could your builds.

You're getting so many defense buffs in any standard Incarnate Team as it is. Just focus on your damage, it's what you're there for as SS/Fire.

It's extremely difficult (impossible?) to get /good/ defenses and maintain your +recharge/damage as SS/FA. Just focus.

I wholeheartedly disagree with this statement. I am not in the habit of sharing my builds online, but I will point out that it is entirely possible to have a s/l defense capped /FA brute that has strong recharge and potent damage. While it isn't ss/fa, I do have a fm/fa that is built for handling TF/SF/Incarnate content. She does it happily and pretty well. Building for defense and recharge is pretty easy. I wouldn't worry too much about damage bonuses with a brute- let fury take care of that part.

OP- you will have more luck posting your own projected build for review instead of just flat out asking for someone to provide you with a build.


Words to the wise aren't necessary- it's the stupid ones that need them.

"You're right...I forgot...being constantly at or the near the damage cap is a big turn off. Definitely not worth it."

I would imagine that you run out of endurance rather quickly as well.

For me, I prefer the reactive armor sets to Aegis.

I don't think end would be that much of an issue - but I've not played an SS/FA, only the FM/FA.

From what I can see his end is right about where mine is, and I don't have any end issues at all.

But, your build is very low on defense. I was looking for some feedback on mine, in another thread. It's got substantially more defense and resistance. You may want to give it a peek.

End becomes an issue in this case as there is no endurance mitigation in Blazing Aura, he/she is running the extra toggle in stealth, and with all that recharge will likely be seeing frequent rage crashes. I have a Electric/Fire and a SS/Fire. The builds are extremely similar to each other. On paper the difference with endurance buff/drain are negligible, but the SS uses way more endurance because of the power selections and crashes. I use top tier vigor in both builds. On the electric, i don't even need to use consume, on the SS i need consume, and have to be very mindful of endurance issues...and my build is a lot more endurance conscious than what is posted here.
