Improve my Build if you can. . .

[FullEclipse]

Hello everyone

This is my current build for my spine/fire farming brute.  I think this is the max dmg I can get out of him.  If there are changes you would make and im sure there are, please tell me why and how it will help.

Quick pass over morning coffee... 

 

I wouldn't waste the slots in Healing Flames, because I rarely if ever have a need to heal on my Spines/Fire Brute (on farm maps).  If you are trying to use this build outside of farming, I might consider the slots, but I would probably look at an IO set for the 5-slot investment.  For farming, without re-writing the entire build, I would drop to one or two slots on heal, and push the extra damage/procs into Consume, Spine Burst, Burn, Quills, etc.   

 

I would drop Taunt (more free slots!), unless you are telling me you need to group or run missions outside of farm.  Your Burn, Fiery Aura, Quills, etc., will keep your enemies engaged.

 

I don't think you need three recharges on Hasten if you are managing your set bonuses globally.  

 

Lastly, this is just taste, I recently started experimenting with an additional one additional franken-Proc on Mu AOE powers...   (one slot drop, but set bonuses are impacted slightly)   It could be perception, but I thought I picked up 15-20 secs on average farm times, but that could be me just paying attention more on those runs.
