I was planning on building a Fire / Rad Sentinel, but decided to look at a Fire / Atomic Blaster to see the difference.  I must have pulled a build off the forums because this build was already in my Mids folder and it doesn't look like a build I would normally make (it looked much better).  Thank you to whoever made the build!

 

I made a few adjustments and this build seems extremely good.  I must have moved stuff around for hours trying to figure out optimal slotting.  I really wanted to figure out a way to get Rune of Protection, but those options seemed worse.  I tried proccing Electron Shackles, but lost S/L resistance and range soft-cap without Alpha Incarnate.

 

No Incarnates:

With Agility Core Alpha:

If Blessing of Tielekku (2.81% Defense to All) can be  re-applied after the first time I could move the Alpha to something else.  Anyway, the defense and resistance looks extremely good to me.  I have never played Fire or Atomic before, so before I head off into the unknown I thought I would solicit some opinions.  I'm looking for a build review and if I am missing something. 

 

Is my recharge okay?

Is Endurance going to be okay?

What is a good attack chain?  Mids recommendation is:  Fire Blast -->  Electron Shackles -->  Fire Blast -->  Electron Shackles -->  Fire Blast.

Should I replace Fire Blast with Flares?

Is Rain of Fire skippable?  From reading the forums it doesn't seem like this power get a lot of love.

 

Thank you for taking a look.

I am assuming the resistance numbers are from having Rune of Protection in the build at the time of the screenshot. 

Regardless though the build looks good.. Range cap and Smash and Lethal Cap.  I get its from incarnates but if you leveled down your defenses would still be good for that level. EG remember doing a lower level TF with my AR Device and noticed my Range defenses were near 30, which were more than acceptable for that TF at that level. 

 

Beta Decay is putting your Melee and AOE at cap as well ( or very close to cap ) so anything coming in at you from range is good. I think you are all covered.

You have pvp mode toggled on, there is no way you can cap your resists and soft cap defenses even with rune running.

 

S/L and Ranged defense is good enough, the 6th slot on the winter sets can be put to use elsewhere.

 

Here is a modified version with more recharge and better level progression for exemping.

Thank you!  I was wondering why the resists were so high and I couldn't figure it out.
