natewest1987 Posted July 24, 2019 Posted July 24, 2019 (edited) Hi All. I wanted to give blaster a go for fire farming. Was bored out of my mind for spines. This is what I've came up with so far, inspired by an ice/fire/ice build that was shared in another post. The build has 45% fire def, 75% fire resist, perma haste, perma insta-snipe. The only issue I ran into so far is endurance management and damage. I still don't feel like the damage is on par with other toons. Even my SS/fire brute seems to massively out DPS this toon, but I could be wrong... I don't have a combat tracker or know of one to analyze it. I was running fire/fire/ice with hibernate, and that was fun, but I didn't have any means to keep the baddies in the burn patches, so I went with bonfire and slotted it with +recharge and knockdown. Took a gimp heal in the + Self Heal Proc for ranged. Any advice on how I can take this a step further? Also, several of the enhancement slots are boosted. I just couldn't get pines to do that for me, but that's how I have the insta-snipe at 3 slots. Hero Plan by Mids' Hero Designer 1.962http://www.cohplanner.com/ Click this DataLink to open the build!

natewest1987 Posted July 25, 2019 Author Posted July 25, 2019 Hey! going to look at this in the builder and circle back. Good suggestions here
Seigmoraig Posted July 25, 2019 Posted July 25, 2019 I am wondering why you chose Fireball at level 38 ? it being a level 2 spell you should take it asap because if you exemplar to do some lower level TF/SF content below level 33 you will not have access to this spell. Same with aim and build up
natewest1987 Posted July 25, 2019 Author Posted July 25, 2019 Does provoke generally work for people to reduce fear? I actually tried it the other night hoping it would fix the problem, but it seemed like it only worked until either a) the next tick of damage, or b) the next time the mob circled back towards my burn patches. Bonfire so far has been the only way to keep the mobs in one place, but even that is problematic as burn and hot feet seems to cause fear in the mobs. With these editions it would be possible to makeup the fire resist from another source rather than slotting hotfeet, which could leave room for more slow. Not sure how strong slow is, haven't really messed around with it, other than a quick respec out of snow storm in /frost, lol.
natewest1987 Posted July 25, 2019 Author Posted July 25, 2019 (edited) The character is lvl 50 but I select FB much earlier. I just slotted in a weird order in pines Edited July 25, 2019 by natewest1987
natewest1987 Posted July 25, 2019 Author Posted July 25, 2019 does the avalanche set work out for you there? I was afraid it would turn knockdown into knockback as it does in some other powers
