I guess I should have mentioned that I don't farm - but I do enjoy challenging content, though it's usually on a team.

Fireball would have to be replaced by Consumption if Pyre got dropped, so only Fire Blast is sucking slots. Though I have to admit this is one of the most slot starved toons I've ever made.

Plus i always think its part of the fun to see all of us in one place and to do the red carpet catwalk on the current toon/toons/groups up for bid!

(@tanknation has already started putting this up on his channel--i'll do the same for RF and FE)

Basically it just doesnt fire.. and its not lag. I must have counted to 5 or 6, moved around, stoped, waited.. and it finally goes off. If i pressed another key like an attack durring this time, the power would fire just fine, but the dark regen would just stick and not do anything.

It works fine sometimes, but others it doesnt. Press the button, and watch the ring around the power just hold, and not do anything. Even just testing it out of combat ive watched 5+ seconds tick off before the power would fire, and not even in combat so its not an animiation stoping it.

Any clue what is going on?

Well seriously, any tanker will do. BUT if you're into Pugging TFs like I am you may have some difficulty with being invited to an STF as main tank if you're Fire Armor, and even others, while Stoners get all the invites they want. Pugs do that because a Stoner is much more guaranteed to succeed with little work on SOs from someone they don't know. I kinda understand this mentality on STFs and Mo attempts - once I was at a STF with my kin, a bubbler, empaths, DPS guys and an Ice Tanker - all experienced people from the Repeat Offenders (I do not mean to say RO player are all l33t or anything, but since they are very dedicated to the game their 50s usually have high end IO builds and they know the game by the numbers). Well, since all we had was defense from the bubbler, Ice Tanker and empaths (Fortitude), buffed Recluse tore thru our purpled Ice Tanker numerous times, it was a chore to get the thing done. We all bought oranges in Ourobouros for the Tanker and then it was easy. Or maybe it was the empaths, both were coming from a long hiatus so they died when they theoretically shouldn't, my emp never died due to Recluse because she knows the distance to stay away. Anyhow, if the Tanker were a Stoner it would've been much easier, not that I share this mentality - I invite anyone even for a Mo attempt, if it doesn't work that's ok, it's a game, as long as it's fun.

That possibility of rejection is not an issue for me, in fact I just rolled a Fire/Fire Tanker because in this game no damage = no fun for me, but I know that I may get the Stalker treatment (which I'm so used to lol) in the high end TFs especially in Mo attempts.

I can make it tomorrow. Count me in for both...I'll be bringing a Fire/Emp controller and Fire/Fire dom (hmmm, I should probably get a little practice in on the dom so I'll remember how to play her!).

EDIT - Somber's interested too. He'll be bringing a something/something somethingoranother.

If kill speed is all you're after, pairing Ice Melee with Shield Defense or Fire Armor is likely the best option. After that I'd consider something with a damage aura like Dark Armor or even Ice Defense.

Aside from that, look into +max end bonuses. Not as common as +recovery, but each percent of +max end also multiplies your recovery in addition to giving you a larger cushion before you run out (the +end accolades are also nice). Partial eradication sets (frankenslot the remaining slots) in burn and tremor are a nice place to start, you can also stick a pair of mocking beratement in taunt, and impervium armor is another, albeit expensive, option. Also, crushing impact in your ST attacks is a nice mixture of good set bonuses and nice endurance reduction, and is only an uncommon set.

If you're patient you can cash out your merits and any alignment merits for whatever will sell for the most on the market and use the proceeds to buy the procs/etc for as cheap as you can - this will probably be the cheapest method, but take longer. Alternatively, you can just earn enough regular/alignment merits to buy outright whatever you're looking for.

In my opinion, weave would only be worth it if you're going to be stacking significant defense. If you don't already have (or are planning to get) large amounts of defense from sets, I don't think weave is worth the endurance drain. Fireball, on the other hand, seems tailor made to complete a nice AoE trifecta with tremor and burn. For the last power, hasten is nice but you are correct about the end crash. I'd almost be tempted to take temperature protection at 49 - less for the resistances than for the protection from slows and a place to put another -KB (regarding -KB, it's my opinion that a fire or dark tank should have 3 -KB ios).

Doing a once-a-month rotation between Union and Defiant like we do for Freedom and Virtue would work great, though.
