Fire/Poison

[Tacheyon]

So a thought crossed my mind about doing a out of the box controller.  Or at least getting away from my usual TA, Storm, Traps rut.  Then I thought of Poison.  I liked it on my Thugs/Poison especially Noxious Gas on my Bruiser.  So I thought I could do the same except with the Earth pet.  Then I read that it is only castable on yourself.  Then I started thinking about Fire and how there are some good symmetries between them.  So I have a build (just power selection) and just going to put it out there and see what people think.

 

My main strat with this build is smoke a mob, then debuff them with Envenom and Weaken, turn on Burn and Venomous Gas run in and use Bonfire or Fire cages to set up Containment.  For tough bosses/AV/EB's set a poison trap to knock out their regen.  Apply holds as needed.

 

Anyway here is the beginning of a crazy idea.

This is a pairing that I eyed heavily as well for the same reasons you state with the exception that I planned for earth epic

Of note though is that poison>poison trap isn't the superstar power that traps>poison trap is.

The poison version does not debuff regen which leaves poison as one of the weaker regen debuffing sets available.
