You could get P.Fighting for some free def (3.75% to all iirc) instead of wasting slots and making gloom and D. Obliteration useless with those tohit debuff sets.
I don't think you'll have a good attack chain since you didn't pick Incinerate and Gloom is not slotted for damage. You only have GFS and Cremate as single target attacks since Fire Sword is unslotted, and your recharge isn't that great to chain them.
Oh I'm sorry I forgot to mention my build was pve focus'd and that the main goal of my build was a realatively cheap capped defense build.
+1 for Phalanx Fighting.
Also, it's quite ghetto, but before you're capped it's a nice power to have on teams. Stick to a buddy or two when a large mob is around you and you'll be less likely to have a spectacular defense failure.
Hey Brutes, Looking for a little review of my build. It is set in stone so just want your all opinions.
