Fiery Melee Tanker

[StriderIV]

I want to run my first Fiery Melee hero. I really like Combustion, so I want to run it on a Tanker. Which of these secondaries would you recommend I pair it with, and why?

 

Shield: I kind of dig the fire sword aesthetic with shield. AAO + Shield Charge + FSC + Combustion sounds like a room cleared. My only worry with this combo is endurance.

 

Elec Armor: Brings a damage aura, a heal and endurance recovery to deal with Fiery Melees end costs.

 

Rad Armor: Everyone seems in love with Rad Armor, and for good reason. Heals, absorb and decent endurance recovery. I’m not sure if Fiery Melee has a ton of +Force Feedback slotting to push the recharge, like SS or Stone does.

Rad/Fire is insanely fun. Personally I'd go that route, but I've had Shield/Fire Tanks and they're equally fun, but in more of a smash and bash sort of way.  Battle Axe is the ultimate Tanking secondary with Axe Cyclone, and I'm sure there are players out there that could give a a decent build for it, but in total game experience, I think you'll go father with Rad or Shield. Just so you know, I'm biased. My sig says it all.

Haha I appreciate it @Warboss! Yeah, I feel like Rad/Fire brings some crazy AOE goodness. I like the aesthetic of Shield/Fire, although I have fun a Shield Tanker before.
