Proposed Build: Water/Fire AE Fire Farmer

[oedipus_tex]

I've been playing a Water/Fire Blaster lately and he's pretty good. Based on the success of Ice/Fire farmers, I wondered if he might be viable as a farmer himself. Despite years of playing, I've rarely pent much time actually farming.

 

The build below represents the best of my efforts. He's got nearly capped Fire resist and Fire defense. HP are still a bit low. 

 

Some cons:

• Relatively low overall Recharge (+40%). Somewhat offset by Force Feedback in the nuke?
• This is VERY expensive. More expensive than anything I've ever actually built. Any tips on where to cut costs are welcome.

 

Some assumptions/questions:

• Dehydrate doesn't do great damage, but it heals. This should stack with the heal in the sustain power. Am I correct in guessing this could lead to a fairly sustainable character, assuming I'm willing to sacrifice the animation time?
• I left two slots open, currently in Bonfire. Where would they best go?
• Would this build even work for what I hope it will?
