Post your build. It's honestly difficult to figure out what you did and what you're trying to do. I posted a build for you on your other thread (as did a couple of others), but that may not mesh with what you're trying to accomplish.
Tough is pretty marginal with 1 slot unless you're picking it only to mule the steadfast def/res and never even turning it on. The IO works whether or not tough is toggled on. I've seen some builds do this, but I dislike the practice. I especially dislike it for resistance sets such as fire armor, which benefits from the extra resistance.
CJ + the Steadfast + "some defense bonuses" may or may not be enough. I notice an appreciable difference around 17-20%. Below that threshhold, I don't think it's worth it. CJ and Steadfast at best (assuming you slotted CJ with lots of Defense) is 5.5% defense. Assuming you got two 3.75% defense bonuses, you'd be 11%ish...which isn't that hot.

OHHHh...I am so so sorry about that. I have been working my tail off in real life and don't know if I am coming or going...I forgot all about that other thread. Wasn't really expecting an answer there, I was just expressing disappointment that I could not get what I wanted to....grin...I sound like a selfish little kid |

Darn. Once again I am so sorry.
Builds are there you say????
I'm off
And I am not even sure why I am tinkering with my Fire/Fire. The build I had was fun enough, and survivable enough, that I soloed my way to 50 . .even the rough patches were fun and I still play her a lot.
Well, I am off to search for that post..builds you say????
Lisa-half deead and ready for Christmas to get here.

Hello all.
I am off to work but before I go I badly need some advice. I did a respec on my Fire/Fire and got her out of Dark and into Blaze.
I lost some things, and gained some things....but what I lost has me dithering.
I have Combat Jumping, the Steadfast IO, and some defense bonuses so I did not take Weave figuring I can swallow purples to make up the rest.
During the respec I realized that I did not have any slots to give to Tough.
Is this one slot enough?
If not, talk to me about Orange Inspirations...it says they are Damage Resistance. Will taking those as well as Purples be a solution???
Should I use another respec, get rid of the fighting pool, and
add two powers that are not hungry for slots, like Swift and Hover????
I solo this toon, and do not take on more than I can chew so, well, I need to go to work.
Thanks in advance for any advice you can give.....
Lisa.
