Need some advice with this build

ninebringer

As title says, I'm looking for some advice on this build
The 3 non-fire powers are a must but everything else is open to change

What I intended is a support artillery. Unfortunately I'm a novice when it comes to creating builds

Artillery means range - Fire lacks range. That's probably going to be your biggest challenge.


If the 50ft range is fine then you should basically be running it like a modified inferno with the standard combo of fireball, flashfire, then conflag down, throwing in snakes as applicable.


However, I think you're expecting to get way too much heal out of those drones.

In fact, aside from the AoPM, I think your reliance on drones and the circle will be your weakness.

The last time I used circle was for an energy form to reduce cost on FC. If you're hurting for energy, there are other ways of making it limitless.

Support drones can be convenient, but they definitely have limitations. When I started learning freeform, it seemed very effective, something I've come to learn is not the case.

I picked drones simply because it's a passive support skill

As for the circle, it seems i missed the note about it being a energy form so that can be changed

50ft range isn't a problem either
