Lmaooo I want to fire tank despite criticism. Came here for loadout tips and such. I guess o have the right idea cause not much is different. Thank you for confirming these choices work :3

[@wooliegaming]

what arts you running at the moment?

[@arosonomy]

@@wooliegaming my goal was to make the healers life (and mine) eaiser. Circe's Mask: Sheild expire stun (I use the fire, hard light, and Amazon Defl. Sheilds) Extra inc heals. Dilustel Refractor: Pulls give temp health to party. And seemed decent as a "Hybrid" style. Symbol Of The Seven(?): Getting hit increases Def per enemy, increases heals received, and gives you healing everytime you're struck. Wanted to list my reasoning too lol sorry #rant

[@wooliegaming]

@@arosonomy ohh yeah i’ve used the refractor. my suggestion would be to trade it out for manacles. I’ve used refractor and everyman at 200. But i feel like manacles would be better suited for your build especially with the shield cool down it offers as it’s rank increases

Woolie what’s up bro, I was just going through different tank vids. It’s lights1might the healer that ran 4 hours worth of fos3. Anyways nice vid

[@wooliegaming]

ayeeee what’s goody bro. small world

But if you’re fire u don’t really wanna block. U can actually read the imfo for not blocking in the power set

[@wooliegaming]

in regular content no you never really block. but in Elite sometimes you need to. i have since updated the build and swapped out deflection though

[@blizzard4give]

So no dom specs at all for fire tank ?? How come also what if your rage ? 🤔

[@wooliegaming]

i’m not familiar with rage tanking personally but I know a few. you can spec dom but health should be your main stat. i spec dom after i finish health and then put some into resto. you get plenty of dom just from gear and augments though and add a bulldozer if you really want that extra buff. but really there’s no need to go full dom. you want your health as high as possible . so when i get hit for 166k it doesn’t hurt when my health is already in the high 300ks

[@blizzard4give]

Respect man I haven't played dcuo since like T5. Border line T6 and so much had changed with the scimatics but appreciat e the feed back I just assumed as any tank you need high Dom. For the raids and elite

[@wooliegaming]

@@blizzard4give well artifacts changed a lot of how builds work now. Currently i run manacles of force, mystic symbols of the seven and eye of gemini. i did an updated guide on my tank and i run eye of gemini in everything. even elite. it really helps with spamming metabolic boost to self heal and refill your super

What gadget weapon did u go with for new character creation?

[@wooliegaming]

i use a staff as my weapon

@@wooliegaming what would u recommend for a the fire tank

[@SuperCrazed01]

I’m running something similar, I just hit lvl 30. Cr 37. Any recommendations?

[@Eduardo-yc4bq]

I dont know why people dont use absorb heat for tank, it recovers like 70% of ur health, its a life saver when healer dies

[@wooliegaming]

I mean it mostly comes down to preference. I use it in open world bounties. But when you have enough sp and arts at 200 backdraft is a full heal every time. I deal a lot of damage just using backdraft and spamming engulf because I tank with super powered might/power. So I fill out health and have about 80 sp left open to put into to might.

[@AnubisA.A]

Nice info but pls turn your effects volume down a bit

[@EcoDrive007]

why dont you use hearty for chest?

[@wooliegaming]

i generally don’t need it with a troll in the group and I’d rather focus on healing in with most situations. i’ll give it a try when we have our raid night and see how it feels though
