Hello! I have a severe case of altism and with the buff to fiery melee I rolled yet another alt and it has been a real blast.

 

I am really horrible with actually making builds though.

 

Anyone have a Shield/Fire build to share?

This is what I roll.

The empty slot in Fire Sword Circle is for an Achilles Heel: Chance for -RES

 

I went for a "Jack of All Content" build for this. I can attest to it being fine at all levels. I solo'd it all the way, being able to take on +2x8 content by the mid 20s and jumping to +4 by lvl 40.

 

Going for Rune of Protection is equal parts theme and utility (my toon is a magical lion man). You could easily pick up One with the Shield and save yourself some power picks, but I am personally not a fan of it. While it does have a longer duration, the RES it gives you is lopsided towards S/L (something a well built SD should already have tons of), and the +Max HP is just kinda whatever IMO. I pair RoP with Melee Core to maintain a strong amount of RES in high end content.

 

Ageless Core gives the whole thing a nice kick in the pants, but I also carry Barrier Core for high end teaming.
