Fire/TA Build Advice

[DarkWithin]

I have been running this Fire/TA as well as a TA/Water defender for a while and they both are doing pretty well. I would like to see what might could be improved or just different directions that may work out as well. The goals for the build were Ranged Defense as well as Recharge, I didn't feel the need to soft-cap defense because of Flash Arrow. However I did boost it up more than the bare minimum for a bit of safety for mobs joining the fight late. I don't think I got all the recharge out of the build as possible so that might be a good area for improvement. On this build I did not take Ice Arrow, even though I like the power a lot, because I was tight on slots and didn't feel that Fire needed the extra ST oomph that it can provide, not opposed to it if it can squeezed in. Also I don't like planning for Incarnates but I have taken Cardiac, Assault, and Clarion for the ones that would make a difference in build. 

 

Any advice that can be provided would be greatly appreciated.

Love Fire/TA, and yours looks pretty decent.  That said, if you could find a way to squeeze Glue Arrow into the build, try it out because that giant Slow patch helps keep mobs in your AoEs and therefore, helps you kill things dead faster.  Also, maybe you're getting good mileage out of EMP Arrow slotted that way, but its crazy recharge time has prevented me from ever investing more than a couple of Recharge Reduction IOs in it.  If you're ever looking to punch up another power/effect, steal slots from EMP Arrow.  

 

If this posts correctly, the build below is what I had been running, but I think I have moved some slots around since posting it.  I'm definitely kicking around the idea of dropping a power in favor of a real travel power, but it's super tough trying to figure out what to drop as I have a use case for everything else in the build, even EMP Arrow.
