| Fiery Aura/Ice Melee/Pyre Mastery build? |
|
|
|
I've tried to create several builds for this, but somehow it just doesn't work out for me.
Can anyone please help me to create a Fire/Ice/Pyre build made for soloing?

word of advice, pick another secondary. ice melee is the worst for damage. it will help for survivability because of the neat toys like freezing touch, ice patch and frozen aura. but it will take forever to kill stuff, esp big stuff. yeah the flaming aura will help but it will still be a pain in the arse.

Yes, I've heard things like that before.
I've also been thinking about Fire Melee. I thought it would be a good idea, seeing as I'll get Fiery Embrace?

I've got a fire/fire tank and have heard many times how gimpy I should be, but at level 36 she's a mean machine, I plan to pick up pyre mastery as I head into those levels, keeping her purely fire. If you wanna know anything about her to this point, give me a shout online @nasali or PM me here, I can give ya the info on what I've tried & what I like/dislike about it.

Well, Fire/Fire tanks are capable of good damage in the later game. Solo though, /Fire underperforms. It's AoE's are good, but only really shine with a larger number of foes to hit. With the 2-4 foes you'll fight solo on average, the damage done per endurance used, as well as animation times, is really lacking. Combustion alone doesn't really shine until its hit about 6 foes, and Fire Sword Circle evens out at 4 or 5, if memory serves.
Also, I've noticed you didn't take Blazing Aura. While it is an end hog, with 3 end redux its not as bad, and when your sucking a lil bit of wind, you can literally stand still, not attack for a lil bit, and still have damage being done to your foes. It also really shines once you have Fiery Embrace and Build Up. Pop em both while in the middle of a mob, watch the minions die. =)
Healing Flames got a recent buff, making it the best self heal in the game, barring HP boosting powers. That's FA's only real problem, its inability to boost its own HP. Fire/Fire also lacks in mitigation, having no means to stop a foe from attacking other than outright killing them.
Worked up a build for ya:

Build focuses on cutting the endurance costs of your AoEs and heavier hitters down. Should be fairly easy on the end bar early. Picks up some of the heavier costing powers later on, after you have Stamina slotted with SO's. Enjoy!

Ever since they nerfed the Fire/Ice build, the one where you can't use Burn with Ice Patch and added a fear element to Burn so enemies run away from it, make it so that Ice isn't worth taking. Fire is good set.
Also I came up with a combo with the Fire/Fire build awhile back that did some pretty decent damg-
The powers you would need are-
From the Fiery Aura set; Fiery Embrace, to bring up your damg
From the Fire Melee set; Combustion, Fire breath, Fire sword circle, Build-up, and Taunt.
First, use Taunt to draw the enemies into the tight group. Jump into the middle of the group and then use Fiery Embrace and Build-up to stack you damg increase, Then use Combustion and Fire Sword Circle. When I still had my Fire tank( before the nerf) this combo brought most enemies HP down to almost nothing and a second unbuffed combustion was enough to finish them. Hope that helps your fire tank and good luck with the build.

Last time I checked, you can use Burn and Ice patch together. When did a supposed change come down the line that prevents the use of those two powers together? I know that I can solo many enemies at once using corners, then Ice patch, then my Fiery Embrace and BU and hit burn and watch the enemies topple. (I just checked all patch notes, and nothing was said about Ice Patch and Burn being changed in any way.)

I recently respeced a fire/fire I had on triumph trying to make a damage dealer but I really did not like /fire as the secondary. Damage output was way too low. My highest tank is a fire/energy and after a recent respec he is a damage dealing fiend. I'm killing as fast as any scrapper and lasting as long as any tank I've played with. He is the best soloing toon I've ever had at this point.

Avant Guard = Emp/Rad/Psychic Defender Lvl 50 (Dedicated Healer)
Astral Plane = Peacebringer Lvl 50
Spica = Fire/Em/Energy Tank Lvl 50 (Scranker)

ice patch and burn work fine together. they still try and run away while burn in burning, but they cant get far fast enough.
and ice patch does only affect 5 villains in the vicinity so sucks too.
