(/showthread.php?tid=4453)

Build Suggestion for Pyre Ant? - jpub - 12-04-2006 I'm trying to figure out something to use for my concept villian Pyre Ant, which, as a fire themed character leaves me with Corruptor, Dominator, and Brute. Brute: Fire/Fire was my initial concept, but honestly, I have massive trouble with the pacing of Brutes. I'd rather not play another. Dominator: Again, Fire/Fire. Pacing issues again. Not as bad, but it's there. Corruptor: I really like Corruptors, for the same reason I dig Offenders. I like the debuf & blast angle, making this my ideal choice. One would think a Fire/Thermal would be what's called for, but I'm an *awful* healer. Actually, I'm an awful bubbler too, so the shields could be problematic. I'd like an alternate Debuff set that would make sense. So, I guess that's what I'm asking - what debuff set could you rationalize for a Fire themed Corruptor other than Thermal? -- Christopher Angel, aka JPublic The Works of Christopher Angel "Camaraderie, adventure, and steel on steel.

Re: Build - Florin - 12-04-2006 The fire blasts could be an offshoot of Radiation or Kinetic powers. -- If you become a monster to put down a monster you've still got a monster running around at the end of the day and have as such not really solved the whole monster problem at all.  Re: Build Suggestion for Pyre Ant? - Acyl - 12-04-2006 Fire/Dark Corruptor. Rationalise the dark powers as smoke and noxious fumes. The Pyre Ant walks around smelling of sulphur and brimstone... Fire/Dark's also a nasty synergy of a set, but I'm sure you know that. -- Acyl Re: Build Suggestion for Pyre Ant? - Mekadave - 12-04-2006 I'll second Fire/Dark. I have a Fire/Dark Corruptor on Freedom. It's a pretty sick combo. Tar Patch>Fireball>Rain of Fire>Firebreath>Fireball will just about wipe a group out (and it also looks pretty while doing it), and my char is only level 13 (you can have that combo by level 8 or so, too). I haven't even gotten to the really good /Dark powers, like Shadow Fall, Fearsome Stare, Petrifying Gaze and Fluffy the Dark Servant.

Fire/Dark is a fun combo, though. You should give it a try at least once. The tactics of a pair of them are boggling me just thinking about it. Open a fight by each alternating dropping Tar Patch and Darkest night, then Fireballs and Rains of Fire. Flaming Death all around!

I tried it once. May try it again. It's in teams that I ran into trouble. See, tar patch itself aggros... rain of fire aggros... all those AoEs... hell, even mobs caught by an anchor debuff aggro. Now, I can handle aggro as a Fire blaster. I can handle aggro as a Dark defender. Apparently merging the two, in the villain game without tanks, and the fact I lag a little... -- Acyl Re: Build Suggestion for Pyre Ant? - jpub - 12-04-2006 I'll try Fire/Dark. Thanks guys.-- Christopher Angel, aka JPublic The Works of Christopher Angel "Camaraderie, adventure, and steel on steel. The stuff of legend! Right, Boo?" Re: Build Suggestion for Pyre Ant? - Mekadave - 12-04-2006 Tip on Rain of Fire: It's one of the only powers that doesn't need Accuracy slotting. It's base accuracy is 175% (unlike the base of normal attacks (75%)). It only needs 3 Damage, and maybe a Recharge or an End Reducer.
