Frostfire and other ramblings

Wow, they've really buffed Frostfire. I used to be able to handle him solo with no problem. This time, the battle started out pretty well. About half-way through the battle, tho, he dropped my recharge rate to zilch. Once that happened, it was over, even if it still took a minute or so to play out.

I've run three versions of Incendiary Lass through the first 8 levels now. The version on Champion has, by far, done the best with salvage. Halfway through level 9, she has 44 pieces of salvage, including two reds and five yellows and one recipe!

My two main Incendiary Lass builds are pretty similar with one key difference. Each build includes TI, DP, Scorch, Unyielding, and Swift. The Virtue incarnation has Combustion and the Champion incarnation has Resist Physical Damage.

I'm trying to decide if there's been any noticable survivability difference with RPD in these early levels. For the most part, performance has been pretty similar, although without the Veteran attacks, the RPD build would be mind-numbingly slow. As it is, that may be the biggest difference: the Virtue Incendiary Lass has more damage output with Combustion. Most of the big threats have been heavy non-S/L damage foes, so I have not noticed a major difference with the inclusion of RPD.
