Sorry if this has been covered some place else. I have looked everywhere I can think of and can't find any builds, guides or advice on a Fire Control/Nature Affinity build.
So far I have things mostly frakenslotted with set IO's and it is doing very well, but I don't think it's anywhere near its potential. The build has some synergies that I did not expect so I am liking it so far.
For attack chains, I use spring attack to tele into a group and immediately pop cinders. I keep hot feet and entangling aura running so foes receive a knockdown, an immediate damage hit, a damage over time, a hold, an incapacitate and a slow all at the same time. The fire imps are also starting their attack and have most foes defeated before anyone gets a shot off. Using this tactic, I have not had my health drop below 80 percent and have not had to heal the imps of suffered the loss of one during combat. I also pre-buff the imps with NA buffs prior to every 3rd encounter or so when fighting large groups continuously. The absorbs and heal over times keep them topped off without me needing to assist. The entangling aura is slotted with a chance for Mag 2 hold which makes the entangling aura very effective.
Alternately, I open combat with flashfire, fire cages to stop the wandering off, then jump in with the hotfeet, cinders and entangling aura as the imps go to work. I also took bonfire but have it slotted with sudden acceleration KB to KD. The imps are 5 slotted with expedient reinforcement and an additional damage IO (but I'm not sure what "recharge intensive pets" are exactly), but the set seems to work okay. What is the best way to slot the imps?
I'm mostly wanting help with Nature affinity slotting as I have no idea how to slot the set. I have most powers in NA set 4 slotted and I'm using IO sets for other bonuses. I do not have the fighting pool so far (I'm level 39) so no tough or weave. For pool powers I have combat jumping, super jump, maneuvers, tactics and hasten. I have health slotted with 2 procs and Endurance slotted with 2 Performance shifters (chance for endurance and endurance) and 1 standard endurance IO. So far no "real" endurance challenges and my health is solid.
Any help or advice I can get with a build or even some advice on individual slotting of Nature affinity powers or the power set in general would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks guys!
