Fiery-Enforcer

Damage procs only have a chance to go off every 10 seconds, whether you're in the range of enemies or not.

Scrapper.

You feel left out because you can't get some costume pieces without running the trials? You must really hate all of those booster packs then.

Check my sig. Not all of them are the fastest times, but it gives you some more to throw into the mix.

I can see where they're coming from, a lot of people had no idea this league existed and I'm certain there's really no other organized PvP going on elsewhere. Artic did post in other forums about the league, but the threads were quickly deleted for cross posting. Even the whole team of 8 signups was only posted on the CAPE forums and when it was finally posted on these forums, only teams of 4 were allowed to signup.

Bringing in another team will never be a bad thing. Nobody wants more people to join the free agent list, let alone a whole nother team. I know my team doesn't want to pickup more people, we have to sit out a couple people each match as it is.

I commend the efforts of the league organizers, I really do. However, always abiding by the rules isn't good if it's just for the sole purpose of following the rules. Remember the saying Budweiser used in his league regarding the rules (which he stole from me)? "If you don't like the rules, quit." Everyone was against a lot of his rules and the fact that only a select few that he picked were coming up with the rules.

If you want to be different from Bud's league, I say let them join! I mean rules were already broken on the first night, as minor as they may be, with lineup submissions and time in between matches. Why not break some more to let people who truly want to PvP, PvP.

I'm glad there are different mechanics in this trial. This game is way too easy, including this trial.

There wasn't any point in playing FF from an efficiency standpoint even before all of these incarnate powers.

Because slotting for defense is even more useless when you have capped resistance. And of course slotting a build in reliance of an NPC is bad.

Well, you also have to consider the low base accuracy, the cast time, the recharge time, and the fact that you need to be grounded to use it. I think it's a fair tradeoff when comparing it to Fossilize, which is part of the same set.

Besides there are other really broken 'mez' powers out there like Soul Storm and TK that I'd worry about first.

If you wanna see a SS/Fire in action (not mine) check out the 14:45 ITF link in my sig, it's a youtube video of the TF recorded through a friends Brute. It was before all of this incarnate nonsense, but it'll give you an idea of how awesome they can be.

Like others said, there's really no best. Some combos will be better in the early game, while others will be better later.

Honestly, you can go 2 Fire Corrs with any secondary and be highly successful. Fire is simply the best primary.

Burn doesn't cause fear anymore, that's one of the things they changed with the FA buffs and one of the reasons Burn is so good now. Most of the damage is frontloaded unlike before with some damage ticks.

I know some Scrappers say that enemies still run from Burn, but that's not Burn, it's the lack of taunt aura.

Burn and Fiery Embrace are irreplaceable. If you want top notch AoE and ST damage, it's the way to go.

You can make a SS/Fire pretty tough in addition to its unrivaled damage. I believe it's the only melee character to solo the STF thus far. For incarante trials you'll likely have some sort of outside buffs, plus there are always inspirations.

Both. You can easily achieve permadom and softcap S/L defense.

Yes, you have controls, but defense is really helpful on fast paced teams and against things you can't mez right away.
