Flavor of the month Build

[freshie]

So it seems that the Fire Tanker is the current flavor of the month of power-gamers. Lots of people claiming that "Burn" is very overpowered. That using multiple burn patches with taunt powers is extremely overpowered.

My alt Dog Tag is Fire/Earth Tanker. I'm not all that keen on having a FoM build so I'm considering starting a new tanker. I'm not all that down on Dog Tag as a concept anyway. He was just more thrown together at the moment because I felt like creating a character. Not sure whether to scrap him completely. I only have two free slots on pinnacle at the moment as well.

Maybe I'll build an AS/Dev Blaster. :p

Yeah, burn can be broke when coupled with provoke. Usually the creatures run away from a burn patch, but if you provoke them they run back.

I scraped my invuln/ice tanker Tundra and made a Fire/Fire tanker Burnscar a bit back, i played him some the other night and wasnt liking fire secondary so i was thinking of actually switching to fire/earth, heh.

Fire/ice is a good combo too with icepatch + burn.

And if you've seen the video of a guy getting half a brick of experiance at level 30something in a minute and a half using burn + provoke...you might think it was broke too :)

oh, forgot to mention...if you want to stay as a Tanker invuln is probally the "best" primary, all be it at times the most boring. It's good because it has GOOD resistances to everything, and they are almost all PASSIVE (inherent powers on all the time) rather than active (toggles) so if you get knocked down/held/slept etc. your protections don't turn off :) they use no endurance as well. secondary wise, battleaxe does the most damage...but some of the other things like ice have good effects for you.

If you don't wanna be a tanker, well...assault/devs is fun to. heh. I'm liking fire/dev...it's a quick leveler too :)
Caltrops+ Rain of fire + fireball = dead minions

--Idle, going to burn some zombies

[freshie]

well...assault/devs is fun to.

Thas last monthes Flavor of the month.

[Idle Idol]

heh, yeah. but it's with good reason. assault as a primary is very versatile with both good single target and good AoEs (and ignite just owns) and devices is probally hands down the best blaster secondary. pretty much when it comes to blaster secondaries you pick between devices or something random that has build up :) (which is good enough to trump all of devices in a lot of people's opinions. (it was a hard decesion for me.)

If you want something not seen often...
FF defender (or pretty much any defender without rad or emp as a primary. Kinematics is a nice set)
Ice blasters you don't see as much as some of the others
a non-fire non-invuln tanker...need more tankers out there. (take provoke level 6...please :))
controllers are all pretty easy to find.
Scrapper...not spines/regen, that was a semi-fotm. maybe broadsword invuln scrapper? don't see invuln scrappers much.

i'm happy with all my guys :)

--Idle, diversified

Caltrops is a banging secondary power.
