-Short and sweet. I am looking to focus my new alt (my lord i caught alt-itis. someone get me more level 40 content) around one power:

Fireball.

The why is not important. I initially took End/REc as he was to be a fire-based toon, but i think i want Captain Collateral to focus on this sorta-AoE power. Other than ranking it up, getting some Clinging Flames going, tapping once for the debuff, and possible adding in Sonic or Toxic any other recommendations?

Was hoping to squeeze a Dex/Rec build out of him, possible if fireball focus? Mainly looking for possible problems, synergies and Superstat ideas. He's level 15 currently, have the cash to retcon down if i need to any help appreciated.

by fireball you mean, casting fireballs and only fireballs and wanting them to hit as hard as possible?

if so, dex/end or int/end, ice form, circle of ebon wrath, and the menagerie of gadgeteering imbues.

otherwise, the path to glory with fireball is unstable accelerant, then using the other fire powers (conflag + heat wave), especially heatwave + engulfing flames, the conflag after that is a doozy.

-The first option was going to be my gut feeling on him, use fireball and only fireball. But i may consider Heat Wave after i play this guy a bit.

I wanted to avoid straying too far out of the set but a Circle is probably going to be needed for upping the damage as i want to try End/Rec as far as i can go. If/when i retcon to a final version i may go Dex/End for Crits regardless of severity as they are just that much more DPS.

Any other comments appreciated. Have a good one.

My fireguy uses rec/end I think rec/int with end as third stat is a good idea too. Fireball rank 2 with advantage is my leadoff shot. I add Sonic device to it and i usually can take out all henchmen and villians are almost dead I just hit them with energy builder and then conflag or heatwave. Rotation on supers and up is you lead with flashfire /fireball with sonic device/ heatwave r2 with adv/ conflag for omg damage.. I run around with ice formrank 3 as my passive I also have Cof primal domination for areas with a lot of mobs in it. Quick thing fireball casts real slow and conflag has some level issues still heatwave is always a good bet to take down a guy. There isn't a mastervillian that survives a full maintain of heatwave if I casted a fireball first. I know I can do some sick damage with this guy. I've tried most of the good dps specs power armor and electricty mixes and tk blades which is good damage also but nothing tops hitting a maintain of conflag or heatwave with fireball tapped first.

Something I've done on a single power-focused guy is to take shadow shroud, immolation and ice sheath, and I can rotate between the three of them keeping up 60% damage boost ~60% of the time.

Immolation is currently bugged though and ranks 2 & 3 add 30s to the cooldown :(
