[Speed Freak]

This is what I could come up with. The defense is wonky, but I like the powersets. I would appreciate any critiques you could give. Also any ideas as to incarnate slotting.

Looks very workable, definitely damage focused over control. Nothing wrong with that.

 

Looks expensive too.

 

IMO Sparkling Chain can be loaded with Disorient and Hold Procs and is a fast recasting, but.... I know Immobs are not the most popular control. If sticking with 1 socket for Sparkling chain use a HO. Acc/Mez is nice or Acc/Dam.

 

Embrace of Fire boosts fire damage by (I think) 85% for 30 seconds. I see a lot of procs for damage still all your base powers get enhanced with Pyro/Fire. Maybe another recharge there? 

[JayboH]

Need to swap the Apocalypse Damage for Acc/Dam, you will hit ED caps even without the Damage enhancement and your acc is low in it (Blaze.)

 

EDIT:  whoops, didn't look at your advanced totals until after the post
