Retooling a Fire Mage/Support

slowecsl4pwe

I had this character before the Fire framework pass that added a lot of nice fire support options. I changed one of her SSS from DEX to CON so it's not so squishy.

I have tried to incorporate those new powers so she only is retaining a few non flame powers. Hex Of Suffering and advantages for the stun/root along with Fire Prison to Proc Sentinel Mastery and the Trapped and Wither specs.

I added Iniquity for long range heal, Will of the Wisp for Illumination and clinging flames advantages. Changed from Fireball w/adv to Incinerate to get fire debuff and dropped Pyromancer's Blades (which just looked cool). Added group and self rez, and this is what I have to work with. Any advice to make her better?

Thanks

If you are using Smoldering instead of Compassion, then keep in mind that it scales only w/ Rec. I'd also prob get a block enhancer. You don't strictly need Conflag if you have Pyre for AoE, and it would help free up a slot, but its up to you. Hex doesn't seem very thematic, but is okay to keep just for the spec debuff procs.

I may re-tool a Fire healer that wants to use Sentinel Mastery and debuffs around Fire Breath's Char adv, since its spammable.

The breath won't deal much dmg alone, but you have other attacks to supplement it (Flashfire, Firesnake), and can fallback to Incinerate for a filler attack if you just want to deal some dmg to a specific foe. Gears mostly for Rec, w/ some Con and Pres.
