Fire/Fire build question

[Doc_Scorpion]

As I'm building out my f/f tank, I'm looking at taking Boxing to extend my single target chain, and eventually Tough and Weave (+ Combat Jump since I already have Super Jump as my travel plan).  Does this sound like a reasonable plan?

[Bronana16969]

Nah boxing is pretty meh all around. If anything go kick or air superiority with the FF proc and no recharge for increased proc chance.

FF proc?

[Bronana16969]

Force Feedback, gives +100% recharge for a few seconds on proc.

 

It can be slotted in any knock back/knockdown ability

[Hyperstrike]

I agree on the Force Feedback proc.
And at top-end, with maxed Endurance, increasing ST damage shouldn't REALLY be something you have to worry about.

I should have been clearer...  What I'm looking for (from Tough,Weave, & Combat Jump) is to increase my defenses...

[Shoulung]

I find combat jump to be a really small increase for the cost of a power pick.

But it's a good complement with SJ if you also want Acrobatics for KB protection.

 

Edited September 29, 2019 by Rathulfr

[Shoulung]

True, worthwhile if you’re working toward acrobatics. There’s an IO you can slot that’ll match that kb prot though, and you’ll definitely want kb prot for your fa farmer.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Acrobatics offers 8 pts of KB protection while each IO proc offers only 4.  So you'd need two IO procs in two different powers to equal Acrobatics.  At least, if I'm remembering correctly.  I could be wrong.

 

Also, I've never had an issue with KB in any of the AE fire farms: it's only an issue when I run my Fire tank through regular content.  That's why I trained Acrobatics in my standard build, but not my farming build.

And the build in question is for regular content, not farming.

[Shoulung]

I did fine leveling with just the 4 points of protection, for both my fa and da brutes; both leveled in regular content. I suggest seeing if the IO works for you, if not respecing is easy enough. Then again, if you’re already getting the other two powers for whatever reason, then acrobatics won’t hurt too bad. Personally, I’ll trade a slot for a power every time.

Originally, I did have only 4 pts of KB prot from the universal travel set slotted in SJ, but I kept getting knocked back/down anyway.  That's when I decided to respec into Acrobatics on my regular content build.
