Need some help with my poison/fire build

[Washuchan]

I was looking for some help with my poison/fire build. I have tried out the build on a few fire farms and s/l farms set at 4/8 on 6 person team. My guy did well after the brutes took most of the alpha shots after going in first. Theme for my character is the boomer from l4d2 trying to come as close to the boomer without breaking copright laws. It's hard to do I know. I have some questions about my build and just want to see what needs to be fixed replaced or redone.

1. Should I drop two powers and pick up aid other/aid self

2. Should I drop -resdebuffs in fireball and poison trap

3. Should I keep fireball and rain of rain with there current io sets

4. Should I put a 5th slot in vg with achilles heel

5.  Should I keep poison trap as it is right now or reslot it

6. Should I add more slots to weaken and envenom

7. Should I keep health the way it is or add something to it

8. Which incarnates should I take to make this guy a real good team player, but still be good at solo pve on weaker missions

I really never have touched poison up until now and I was looking to get some feedback on this, because I really like poison/fire combo its fun. I was thinking of making a poison/beam or poison/rad if things turn out good my build is listed below

My understanding is that you either want 4 pts of kb protection or 10 - the vast majority of the game content only needs the +4.  You have 21 points of kb protection.  You hit ED limits in Fireball by switching the damage purple to the kd proc, but it depends on how much you can get out of that vs the ED limit break: 124 damage vs 119 (before choice of Alpha.)  A team will benefit more by going with Maneuvers over your personal Stealth plus the stealth won't actually hide you because you will be in melee range for Venomous even with Super Speed turned on.  If you want to be stealthed in-between groups then you could also put the Celerity stealth proc in Super Speed as you have so much kb protection everywhere.  You could drop Super Jump for just the default Alkaloid slot which can still be handy here and there - could put the absorb proc in that.

 

Just some ideas.

There is an amazing poison guide in the defender forums.  I think you should take a look at it it will tell you all you need to know.  If I get time I will link it for you

[Blaque Zeke]

Here you go!

 

Hopefully I linked it right was on break!!!!

This topic is a little old but I have a poison/rad build that's proc focused.  I hope it can help give you some slotting ideas if you end up building one

The build is geared for level 50 content and doesn't exemplar well.  Extremely end hungry since I skipped slotting sets in some powers in favor of procs.  It relies on incarnates to manage endurance.  Proton volley and dominate do insane damage after you throw out your -res debuff.  Irradiate is fast enough that I fill my attack chain with it and it procs fury of the gladiator more often than poison trap.  Between achilles proc, fury proc, and your debuffs you can put out a potential total of -105% res.  It's 1 purple away from soft cap ranged defense and your -tohit debuff on venomous keeps safe in melee.  Also has capped s/l resistance.  With all the debuffs you throw out it's pretty tanky as long as you have mez protection (clarion, defense amplifier, etc).
