Fire/Fire/Psi

[Seigmoraig]

Hi team, I've been away from the game for a while and now I'm Back !
I've been toying with this build for a bit, but my build skills are kind of rusty ! I managed in this build to get near perma hasten (0.9 secs off) and Link Minds but my defenses are not especially hot. I think this might just be a /Fire thing and capping out positionals and hasten at the same time is unfeasible. I went with Psi pretty much only for Link Minds to try and get as much Def as possible since there is no +Def toggle in /Fire. If anybody has any insights into how to make this better, please share !

This isn't limited to /Fire.  IO set diversity in ranged and TAoE attacks is pretty terrible next to melee counterparts.  This makes building more defense in with IO sets a pain.  It makes it a decision of using Winter Sets or not, or expanding your attacks to include melee or not.  

 

If you're happy with the build, then good.  You could probably change some things and even lower some of your defenses if you wanted.  Just prioritize damage first, aim for mid to upper 60's on your S/L resistance or higher, and then your healing.  Another thing to maybe consider with Fire Blast in particular is endurance consumption.  Fire can be expensive to spam when you use Fireball rotationally.  Your current end drain of 2.91/s looks low to me.  Consume isn't that great but you may want to invest a little more recharge there.  Accuracy is important too because missing with that skill hurts.  

 

You invest a lot into Maneuvers but Weave is better.  It is a slight gain, but if you're looking for gains... well slot Weave. 

 

You're spreading yourself a little thin.  I do like to try to get multiple defenses into the 30's myself.  However, this is a build with Burn which puts you more at risk in melee.  May as well consider focusing on just one positional like melee vs trying to turn Fiery Aura into Super Reflexes.  Tailor the build's defensive strengths towards the content you expect to handle the most.  Then, just acknowledge the other areas of weakness are a risk you are willing to accept.  

 

That's how I try to approach builds.  Though I did get completely tired of that and just shifted my resources towards building other versions of my heroes with more comfortable secondaries.  Obviously not universal advice there, but I am just being real as to why I use Invul/Energy Aura/SR so much.
