This is my main toon, well, not as is just yet, but moreso theorycrafting for my main toon.

I really haven't messed with him much since the Dex/dodge/crit changes, so I thought about it and this is what I came up with as the new main fire build.

Most fire builds are pretty self-explanatory, but I'll throw out some explanations on less-typical powers:

Rimefire, Pyro Blades: I love flavor powers. These are the ones I picked for this build. Rimefire doesn't really interrupt my rotation and the blades are additional dps without interrupting much either. Honorable mentions here were Defile and Strafing Run, but I think overall, both cause me to stop my dps (Conflag) too much for me to use.

Dark Transfusion: Since I added Con to the build, and run End but no Rec, I had to add it. That is basically what the power was made for...so why not use it?

Conviction: What? Conviction is a no-brainer! Usually yes, but I have been debating Devour Essence in this spot. It is a heal, goes off my passive, AND lets me heal through Dark Transfusion should the need arise. The other option for here was Resurgence, which is still under consideration.

Fire Flight: Cliche I know...but I like fire, and I like flying...what can ya do?

For Gear I will go:

Offense: Crit Chance...since no Dex, I still want that as high as possible...with Rank 9s, should still be able to get this pretty high.
Defense: Defense
Utility: Mostly CD Redux...Since as of now Unbreakable and Ego Surge are my only Active D/O, I want them up when I need them. This also helps minor things like Flashfires and Fire Snake as well.

I have Vigilante Secondaries so will be using those as well.

I'm not sure about stat distribution on the primaries, will have to mess around with that later.


Remember: Half the people you know are below average...

Don't be like the Qularr. They would not last one round in the Interstellar Galactic Arena...

    I'd prob take INT/End/Con for this type of build, since Int has Preparation that works well w/ End gearing (the Int tree will also make any Dex gearing you do on the side more efficient).

    I can't make myself take INT on my main lol...

    I'd really only take Primary INT on an AoPM build since it buffs my non superstats without additional gearing for them.

    Fair enough. Yeah AoPM is really good w/ Int PSS- its less crit-based than Ego PSS builds, but Expertise_Enlightened can help get some of that crit back, and ya have good -resist. Just comes down to personal pref though for most ranged builds, as I've found both types to be good boss dps w/ a variety of powersets.
