Fiery-Enforcer

I wouldn't take Ring of Fire, I don't think it would ever be used. Certainly won't use it for damage and a ST immob isn't needed when you have a strong taunt aura. If he dropped GFS, then he wouldn't be able to run the highest DPS chain. My current Fire/SD build doesn't have it, but I plan on working it in there come i19.

As far as improving it, yes I would softcap AoE defense and you could work in more HP bonuses.

I don't see him saying anything bad about the build except for taking AAO late, which is a bad idea while leveling up.

I agree, my old Spines/Fire build which could probably be reworked has about 35% defense. When you're farming inspirations will drop a lot so only one purple would be needed to softcap and then you can just pop reds.

The build posted above will be pretty end heavy and Healing Flames is terribly underslotted. The good thing about Spines/Fire is that you don't need too much recharge to have a good AoE chain, so keep that in mind.

If you want a cheaper farmer to start out, you can roll a SS/WP/Mu Brute. Although, SS/Fire doesn't need that much investment if you fight the right enemy groups.

Claws/Fire should be decent, but I'd play it on a Brute instead of Scrapper because of the taunt aura.

As far as calculating numbers, wouldn't it just be easier to show inf/minute?

Eh, I think the rewards are fine now. I don't think they calculate start up time in their formula to decide the reward amount. Personally, I haven't been on a CoP that took longer than 30 minutes.

Congratz! It's been a pleasure playing with all of you.

I'm pretty sure that I gain more inf/minute solo than on a team.

I love my Fire/SD, but I'll take my SS/Fire Brute over it any day for pure AoE mayhem.

I've changed my build a few times since then, but with all of the purple sets, I'd say it would cost at least 4 billion with today's market.

Yeah, you really don't need to invest too much in survivability if you plan on AE farming. You can tailor make them and just use inspirations to fill in the holes.

Updated roster.

Personally, I don't even use Rage while soloing certain AE farms, inspirations are your friend. Having more AoE's doesn't mean they're better AoE's. I'd rather have FS than anything Elec offers. As of now SS/Fire is the best AoE Brute, numbers don't lie.

A SS/Fire shouldn't only be using Foot Stomp, sounds like you ran into a terrible one if that's what they were doing. I cycle through FS, Burn, and Fireball with very little time in between attacks.

I don't use Elec Fences to keep mobs around me, that's what Blazing Aura is for. Also, what's there to work around to play a SS/Fire? Just get perma Rage which is very easy to do.

I may be able to bring my Mind/Fire to help out if it's needed and time permits. I've ran 199380 MoLRSF's with it before.

There are so many options to choose from. Personally, I'd go with a Corruptor and Brute/Scrapper duo, Tanks are meh.

That would apply that people actually take Hand Clap.

Easy Kills vs. Exile

2-1 Exile
2-2
1-0 Easy Kills

Fire/MM still works well in that situation and as far as endurance goes, it shouldn't be a problem considering you'll pretty much have an unlimited supply of inspirations dropping.

For a first time Brute I would suggest Claws/WP. If you don't mind being more squishy in exchange for more damage, then I'd go with Claws/Fire.

Fire/Fire, Rad/Fire, Fire/MM, Rad/MM

I'd go with any of those with Mace Mastery to softcap S/L defense and to get Web Envelope.
