Fire Blast / Atomic Manipulation / Flame Mastery Build Help Request

[S33k3r]

Before the issue 27 changes, I played a Fire / Tactical Arrow Blaster. After the changes, I have mothballed it, and am trying a different build. I have far more experience with Corruptors/Defenders and Controllers; more recently with Tankers and other melee types. Can you please assist me? Assume expense is not a problem, and Thanks!

 

Notes:

• Defenses are low; I have a different build that focuses more on defense/resistance, but this one has done well so far. I am interested in better defenses, always, but not at the cost of damage or recharge. I can currently cast a fully pumped Inferno every 39 seconds or so. Even Rise of the Phoenix is available every 75 seconds or so, and neither of those includes using Burnout.
• I am focussing on AoE attacks. So I am not looking for better single target damage.
• This is a team build and is expected never to solo.

Not sure what your after so i just took your build and threw in scorp sd. Now you have better defence and better recharge and kb protection which you seem to be missing. You lose bonfire, not sure how much that means to you. Also not sure how you survive in melee with your build it doesnt look like it has any defence and the resists arent much better than this one. Gotta play in close enough so beta decay hits stuff. I can only assume you either kill stuff fast enough they don't get an attack off or you've been luck enough to be on an awesome team of buffers/healers or 7 people runnin leadership to stack up:
