A Real Old School Tanking Fire Tank

[VV]

So, way back in the day, before everybody just used Fire for boring old farming, we actually tanked. For those who remember, there was a tank named Impyre who showed all the doubters that a Fire tank could tank anything, even before IOs and Incarnates. My main was a Fire tank, and Impyre was my mentor.  Of course, when HC came back, I recreated her and have been tweaking her ever since. This is where I ended up. Some minor holes, but nothing that cannot be easily handled. The only thing I have not had a chance to try her against is Hamidon. Other than that, she's stood up against pretty much everything. Still does plenty of damage, too. And looks damn good doing it.

[Marshal_General]

How do you handle your endurance use being almost equal to your recovery?

[kenlon]

Consume, I assume.

It's funny, people ask me that, but it has never been an issue. Like, really not. I guess because stuff dies so fast? I do run Ageless most of the time. But, even when I am running Barrier, it's not much of an issue.

This definitely helps. I can fill the blue with just 2 or 3 targets. It comes up every mob or two and that's plenty often.
