Fire/EA question and build help


Wolfboy1

Recommended Posts

So first off the question.  When would be a good starting point to get into the land of Crafted IO sets?  Should I wait till 50 to start going for them or should I start earlier?

 

Second part is the build help.  I am mostly a solo player but will team up with just about any group that will have me so I want something that will help me get through the main content and into the Incarnate area's.  Really not trying to min/max but want a build that will provide me with good overall damage (as much as a sentinel can) and of course softcap resistance and Def as much as possible with the /EA powerset.  End recovery is also a factor since I want to be able to hurl fire everywhere and leave the battlefield a scorched wasteland essentially 😄  Of course I'm exaggerating but builds were never my strong suit and I just am looking for some good advice from the forumites here.

 

Edit:  One thing just to keep in mind that I do have fly and hover but whatever other power pools are fair game.  Those two however I would like to keep.

During the leveling phase, I think you can see great benefits for very little cost using a few staple uniques and the cheap sets.

Those staple uniques would be:

- Steadfast Protection +3% def

- Gladiator Armor +3% def

- Shield Wall +3% res (actually gives +5% res)

- Reactive Defense scaling damage (gives at least +3% res)

- Kismet accuracy (+6% tohit)

- Panacea +HP/+end (slot it in Health)

- Preventive Medicine +absorb (slot it in Health)

Cheap sets:

- Thunderstrike in any ranged attack

- Multi-Strike in any PBAoE

- Crushing Impact in any melee attack

As for a level 50 build:

This is built shamelessly for maximum ST damage and good AoE damage, and no care for anything else. It still manages to come 3% short of the softcap in F/C/N, which you could get with just a few tweaks (++ing relevant IOs gets you close). You could either go with Barrier + Cardiac for strong survivability, which coupled with Energize and Power Drain should do enough for your endurance, or embrace full offense with Musculature + Ageless.
