    Pestilence won't buff any of ur Fire dmg, though Fiery Form buffs all Elemental so that could work. Maybe ya value the DoT and debuff from pestilence more, though.

    Otherwise the build looks okay for a mash-upo 2 sets. I assume DE is the main ST attack, and Fire Breath is the main filler AoE? The only things I'd question atm are the inclusion of Heat Wave and BCR (considering its dmg penalty in a build w/o a dodge passive).

    Would prob take Firensnake to R2 as well. Would also change out on of Guardian or Warden for Vindicator. Could also consider pairing Avenger w/ Vindicator since ur two fmain attacks (I think) are maintains.

    Since ur using MSA instead of Supernatural Power, I'd also drop Rec SS for Int. Ya could consider Quarry then- and/or a INT/Dex/Con or DEX/Int/Con SS setup.

    Since Devour Essence is your main single-target attack, I would switch Concentration to Form of the Tempest with one of Flow's suggested superstat setups. You'd lose some ranged damage bonus, but you'd be able trigger your toggle form when DPS'ing a boss.

    Pestilence is a sneaky little passive. It doesn't seem all that impressive at first.

    But I had a Pestilence + Plasma beam build.. based on one that Cyrone had up:

    http://co-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=209541

    It was an insane amount of DPS

    I've also tried Pestilence plus Munitions (2gm + Gatling Gun).. which was also insane.

    So I can imagine fire paired with Pestilence being very interesting.

    Yea good point- if DE is a main attack, then FotT + Dex SS is an easier fit than Conc. I'd ignore my first SS change (Ego/Con/Int) then and just for got Dex/Int/Con, Str/Dex/Con, or Int/Dex/Con for the SS setup (all w/ a Dex and Con focus).

    Nope, DE is not a main attack. It's attack that was used for theme. I can always swap it for something more useful. Fire Breath is my main attack. It's an AoE machine. The main task is to make this build more survivable. Any ideas?

    If Fire Breath is to be ur main attack then ur single-target dps is going to be a bit low, even if Rimefire helps spike it a bit. I suppose depending on what ya plan on doing w/ the build then that could be acceptable.

    Since ya already have R3 Conviction, Unbreakable, MD, and DE.. there's not much more to add for survivability, save for taking a Defensive passive or picking up something like Ascension or a block enhancer (or CoPD for fights like Gravi). Could also take Rebirth, though I assume the idea is to not die in the first place.
