Attempting to Make the Most Durable Fire/Fire Tanker

[Wravis]

Title says the goal.

Caveats:
- I want it to be playable when exemping down to do lower level TFs (No reliance on incarnates to be functional)
- Super jump! No fly.

Here's my first attempt! Help me build masters. Money is not an issue. Go nuts!

[Sovera]

I arrive!

 

 

Most durable would either be Ice Melee with Ice Patch, or Martial Arts and go around with 45% defense (40% without Incarnates).

 

But trying to make the most durable Fire/Fire might be something like this:

Some things to consider:

 

- The raw stats in the slotting of Fire Sword make the slotting better for Greater Fire Sword, but then the +6.7% resists are only available when Greater Fire Sword is.

- The build is at 85%-ish for the important resists such as S/L and E/N with one stack of the ATO in Fire Sword. A second one will finish capping the resists at 90%. If you were to indulge in incarnates I'd lower the resists to 77-78%-ish to take in consideration the 5% defense and resists from Barrier.

- S/L defense is at 40%. Not many ways to improve it further without sacrificing something. Not taking Hover did not help since those 2%-ish defense had to come from somewhere. But it's good enough for exemplaring and for high level content Barrier permas it at 45%.

- Psi, debuffs, and Toxic, will always be a problem. Kill fast, use inspirations, be ready to kite (the Martial Arts version mocks most debuffs). I know slotting can help but then something needs to be paid for it.

 

 

This is a max level respec build. If wishing to level with it I can rearrange the order of powers and slotting.

Well, what about a fire tank at level 50, not worrying about how well it runs at lower levels?

45% defense to melee, range and AoE on top of 90% to S/L/E/N on top of 3 minutes pylon time. It's my magnum opus.

I felt this made for a pretty survivable Fire Tanker.  You'll have to figure out how to make the difference between Axe and Fire Melee.

Here's an idea.
