The Hero is at level 27 right now. Since this build will be expensive by my standards (LotG but no real purples), I'd like to make sure I didn't slip up and do something silly.

Very cool build.

I'm not sure why there's an end reducer in Benumb, since it's on such a long recharge and you have near-perma Heat Loss-- maybe put that slot in Fissure with an Explosive Strike or Force Feedback proc.

Or, you might drop Tactics and take Vines with 2 slots and a couple accuracies in case of emergencies. Or nemesis. (Since most of Tactics' importance is duplicated by FR and Infridgidate.)

Have you gotten up to slotting the procs in Creepers?

No, the hero is at 27 right now.

You may have a point about the fourth slot in Benumb; I turned that into an Explosive Strike proc in Fissure, as you suggested.

I'm on the fence about Tactics. This build doesn't have as much global +Acc as I'd like, especially before I get the Purples, and the perception bonus is nice; on the other hand, as you pointed out, Sleet will help with Accuracy when I get it. Hmmm... I'm not sure about Vines, though, it's less interesting to me poorly slotted.

Recall Friend or Assault could be nice; I was considering taking one of them instead of Earth's Embrace, in fact.

Edit: I could take Hover or Grant Invis and give it a LotG+R, allowing me to put a sixth Red Fortune in Arctic Fog and get another global defense bonus, except that I'm full on power pools. I could take Rock Armor instead of Earth's Embrace, but I find it distasteful to take powers I won't use much just to slot IO's in them (unslotted Rock Armor isn't very useful because of all my positional defense). I may have to make an exception here, though.

Edit 2: There's also the option of Tactics->Assault (or keep it Tactics), Earth Embrace-> Vengeance. Vengeance can take a LotG+R.
