Not sure if this will work.. first time messing with Fire Tankin..
Some of the powers are taken for theme concept(Fire Breath, Hover).. and the order isnt important.. gonna change that up tomorrow.. just threw this one together to get an overall idea of what he should have.
Does he look survivable enough for end game tanking while still being fun to play? Are some of the Defs too low? Tried to even em out to give good all around Def.
Any suggestions helpful.. =]

And how are you going to work around having to use hover every fight?

[Union Chat]Sebaddon: If you want to, we will, if you think it's weird, no, that's damz, not us.

First. Fully slotting Obliteration in damage auras.

BAD! BAAAAAAAD!

You have absolute **** end redux. And while your damage aura isn't really really eating lots of end, it's still going to hurt you in the long run.
The fact that you're only getting a piddling amount of S/L and the Melee just overlaps with your S/L isn't so great when investing 6 slots either.

Oblits are nice for AoE attacks that are on long recharges. Then, the lack of End redux isn't a big deal.





Here's a rework you might find slightly easier to play.

Yea.. fighting with hover wouldnt be so bad if I didnt have to drop out everytime I wanted to use burn.. need to rebuild and not depend on it for my numbers.

 

Posted

Thanks Hyper.. didnt realize the end on it was gonna be so bad.. reworking everything completely to try not to depend so much on Hover and try to concentrate on Melee and S/L def.. does that sound like a better route to go?

Concentrate on S/L, melee will automatically follow (not that you're THAT concerned with it.
Try to work some E/N in too. This way you won't suffer as much from Ranged attacks (as Ranged follows E/N most of the time). Again, take a look-see at the build I posted.

While the defense numbers are *slightly* inferior for S/L, E/N is better, recovery is better and (because I'm now on a different computer and working from memory) I believe your resists and regen are better. Also remember that while they're technically inferior, you're not in Hover. It you turn Hover on

The recharge on my build is also slightly inferior. But not horrendously so. And since you're rocking Agility, most of your attacks are sporting big numbers which translate into small recharge times anyhoo.

If you want to beef up your F/C defenses a bit from my build, you could do something like this:

Do you actually play this build?
If so how fast are you eating through your endurance?
How dependent on Consume are you?

You only have two attacks slotted with any kind of significant endurance reduction. One is your T1 Melee, the other is being used as a set mule and not slotted for damage. Neither of which are your damage aura.

I have been working on my fire/fire scrapper for the last few weeks and I have a build very similar to this, I could not function without consume but that is why you have it. As for the attacks the main thing a fire tank should focus on is keeping aggro on him so he can put his burn patch down, combustion, fire sword circle, fire ball, and the occasional greater fire sword are really all the attacks you need as a tank so yes i use some attacks as mules for s/l def but what good is a tank if he is dead.
