Hey welcome back
.
So back to my original question how is your DM/EA doing ?? I hit lvl 32 this weekend, slotting can be tricky with this rascal. Also there are so many decent powers. When he is running well he is cooking on gas. But when it goes wrong, he goes down is a spectacular blaze of glory.

Well I hit 32 over the weekend as well - he's going well and on occasion can survive insane amounts of incoming damage whilst wiping out mobs with a couple of hits. On the other hand, one second of bad luck and he crumples worryingly quickly.
The only real problem I've had so far are CoT, especially spectrals, as their Negative RES and Psychic damage make them extremely dangerous.
Here's my build, if you're interested:

That's pretty close to my build except I took Flight to get AS as an attack chain filler and picked up SS later on after hasten.
I'm still not entirely taken on the 'no damage in attack' bit, cos I've noticed that once a team gets above about 4 members, or you have another brute in the team then I have a really hard time building my fury to a decent level, and when you're waiting on the squishies end/health coming back your fury drops. I might pick up taunt to help with this though.

@Miss Chief
If I ever managed to get teams I'd be more concerned about that

He moved house and wasn't sure how long it'd take him to get his connection back up - been a month now.
