Fire build: How to?

wrathsoul1

Any tips on making a fire build? What are the necessary stats, specs and powers on that build? How good is the powerset post-rework?

Can check the end-game dps build for some background on it (the rotation guide in particular):

Fire can be one of the strongest ranged dps sets now, but is limited to 50ft to do anything substantial, can take a few extra powers to optimize, and its best ST attack roots it in place as a counter-balance.

What role and content do you intend to play w/ the build?

I'm mostly gunning for a survivable DPS. I know I'll need Ego, Endurance (for the energy unlock) and Constitution (kind of a must for anything related to end-game). Unless I need a different damage super stat (Dexterity or Intelligence for defense penetration), I should be good on that one. Now the problem would be the power choices. I know that stuff like Thermal Reverbation, the fire-flavored self-rez, Absorb Heat and some others would be no-brainers to add (as in, they're must-haves), but otherwise, the main problem would be to determine which powers are good and which ones are duds.

Well, the thread I linked gives some good starter advise as to the powers to look out for and stuff.

Here's a sturdier Fire dps build w/ Con SS:

(not really an early leveling build, but some basic power subs and re-training later on can fix that)

Last 1-2 powers can be w/e. Gears mostly for Ego, w/ some Con and End.

Many other SS setups could work, also depending on which toggle/form you pick (CF, Conc, Fiery Will, etc). Avenger + Vind could also work pretty well for the specs, as an alternative.
