Willpower/Fire/Fire Build?

[PLVRIZR]

I've seen WP/-everything, except fire.  I'm about to respec and, with Inf. as no object, wanna do the guy justice.  Any builds out there, that my search missed?

 

Thanks, in advance.

Something like this, I guess. Just switch things around the way you see fit. Fire Melee isn't very good atm and Rad Melee (colored fire like :p) would perform better.

 

It has 40% to all defenses which Barrier pushes to 45% and S/L gets capepd with two stacks and Barrier's 5%.

 

You did ask for Fire epic but you can move things around the way you see fit now you have a guideline. I prefer Focused Accuracy to not spend minutes whiffing against ToHit debuffers or Arachnos blinds.

Thanks, Sov!

So, I took my remade (from Live) tank and all his Frankenslotted glory and rebuilt him, very closely to your posted build above.  Got almost the identical stats in Mids:

 

He was 50 +0, at the time, so farmed some Council to get his Alpha slot unlocked.  Took Resilient Alpha (T3), 'cause I like S/L capped and the snips are with it on.

 

I haven't really delved into the 801 AEs, so I use "Just Teh Council" and "Big Mobs Tunnel Fire Farm" for informal benchmarking.  My dude hangs as well as NUTCRKR in both, at +4/8.  Like NUT, the bosses took some time, but I was never in any true peril (council was a joke, obviously, and the fire was manageable), with only munching the skittles that dropped, during the run.

 

Let's go run a solo ITF, I said to the voice in my head (I know I'm OK, because the voice tells me so...), but I dropped the diff to +3/8.  Same as AE, mobs disappear quickly, except for the bosses, so I just drag them along until the AOE eventually drops them, as well.  Saved the scantily clad ladies and headed to the platform.  I avoided the stairs and was almost done clearing the platform, with a single boss and the EB Minotaur left.  Must have gotten too close to the stairs because the dark ambush began.  Not sure how many times I was hit, but the defense degradation was immediate, sudden and overwhelming.  I face planted in about 5 seconds.  Any idea why?

Other than the fact it is something like 20-30 +3 bosses? Who also do -def debuffs. -def debuffs eat alive resistance based sets. Barrier is a near necessity as a panic button.

[PLVRIZR]

Probably more like 5-10 bosses (it happened so fast), but I get your point.  I had forgotten how far WP was from Inv, as NUT and JAW stand at the top of the stairs, taunting away (without Barrier), and taking it, hardly breaking a sweat...

[Oysterhead]

Willpower has very little (if any?) DDR (Defense Debuff Resist) so it'll cascade fail very fast. Invincibility has considerably more. SR has by far the most. Ageless Radial will help with that though if its important to you! ITF is specifically the place that'll hit you with def debuffs the most.

[PLVRIZR]

Thanks, Oyster.  Pulling up NUTCRKR in Mids shows 50.00% DDR, where Will is 21.63%.  I guess that ~28.5% makes a big difference...
