((Also, where can I find the newest version of SherkSilver's builder???))
[/ QUOTE ]I'm pretty sure you already have it.
So that means there are no invention origins in it? Boo!
Check out the Inventions Folder and the thread entitled Hero Builder in there. I read ait earlier today and having followed up on it was blown away.
A guy named Midnights has put together a builder that does everything Sherksilvers did and a whole hell of a lot more. It looks better, is more intuitive to work with and best of all it has pretty much full details of IOs including the various bonuses of each of the sets as well as the main enhancements.
That bulder is the Bees Knees, the Ants Ankles and the Dogs extremely personal bits if you know what I mean. Sherk was good but Midnights builder is the future for years to come in this game.
Thanks for all that help with the builder, guys.
Now on to the build!!

What do you want your build to do?
Fire/fire blasters have more AoE dmg than any other build in the game. Personally I would skip aid self, and find teams with good tanks. I would get fire sword circle ASAP, and not that late. I dont really like fire rain, so I would skip that.
I would also get hotfeet and blazing aura for the silly DoT factor + combustion for more AoE dmg.
What do I think about your build? Its prolly ok, you should be able to solo with it, and it looks ok in teams. I would just have min/maxed for AoE dmg had it been me.

Made this new build, and me likey.
You totally need fire sword in there. Fireball > fire breath > fire sword circle, then fire blast, blaze and fire sword for the remining individuals.
Without fire sword, you've no real need to get face-to-face with the enemies, and that's no way to play a blaster.
The build is mainly for ranged combat. I'm not planning on going into melee, thus the only melee power is Fire Sword Circle.

Why what? Why ranged?
Because I like my Blaster to be ranged and not crushed to death in melee 
And I've played so many melee toons that I want some ranged now.

I should warn you that you may find yourself struggling to get best effectiveness out of the FIRE/FIRE/FIRE combo if you are looking at mainly ranged combat. A fair bit of its damage is delivered at close range or in melee.
Of the early ranged powers, most don't take Flares as its generally poor damage.This pretty much leaves you with Fire Blast and Fire Ball. Fire Breath is so short ranged you are near as dammit in mellee range for any aggro it gets and Ring of Fire is just a hold that has a small damage element.
Later on you get Blaze and Blazing Bolt but I gather that the first, while great damage, is not much better range than Fire Breath and the last one, which is your snipe, you seem to have left to the end of the build which seems odd if you are looking for a range specialist.
Rain of Fire sounds great on paper and has great animation but taken at level 6 I found it gets you more aggro that you can handle at that level. Also, many teams hate it in the early game as most 'trollers and tankers don't have the ability to lock down that many mobs at that point. I have respecced it out till much later when I hope to combine it with the slow factor of Hot Feet.
I am not saying you should not go for the build, heck I have one myself, also, I solo a lot, which makes life harder for me that it needs to be. Just be advised that it can be a struggle to play and is NOT very solo friendly due to the amount of aggro it can get you.
Just my couple of infs worth there, feel free to ignore it at your leisure. Whatever you do tho, have FUN!

And that's exactly what I'm having with this build, and it's good enough for me
Thanks anyway, to everyone, for helping me out.
Do you realise that slotting flight speed in swift is fairly pointless?
You'd get much better fly speed if you put a slot in Hover and a slot in Fly.
@Unthing ... Mostly on Union.
Yup, I found that out the hard way. I'm using two builders at the moment, and one says 3swift 1fly is faster, the other one says 1swift 3fly, and when I asked some people in-game, they said that 3swift 1fly is faster. Apparently not.. so I need a respec again.
What? Your playing a fire/fire/fire blaster and you don't want to get up close and die? If you don't want to die don't be a fire blaster! My mains a fire blaster and you have to get up close and die, other wise its no fun... KILL UM WITH MELLE!
@Flame Fire
Defiant:
Flame Fire - 50 - Blaster
Joey Poison - 50 - Master Mind
Star-Flare - 41 - Peacebringer
Operative Flame - 26 - Bane Spider
CoH Vids
BU+AIM then fireball,firebreath, firesword circle and combustion! Not much survives that....
What do you think?
