slotting fire/fire

My fire/fire blaster just hit 32 and I have a question about slotting. I know nothing about IO sets or any of that for the most part but currently all of my powers that are six slotted have 3 damage 2 accuracy and 1 recharge reduction. Is that much accuracy unnecessary? If not I'd love to slot another recharge reduction or end reduction but don't want to spend the inf to find out I made a mistake.

The simple, no-numbers explanation is that slotting 1 even-level accuracy SO gives you 95% hitchance against even-con enemies.

Slotting 2 accuracy SOs gives you 93% hitchance against +2 enemies. Since when sidekicked you are at -1 to the mission level (i.e. enemies are +1 level to you), and the game randomly spawns enemies at up to +1 to the mission level (i.e. enemies that are +2 levels to you) it's wise to slot 2 accuracy IOs to take care of most situations. For anything more severe you have Aim and Build Up.

For my Fire/Fire, I found endurance a serious problem (even with Stamina) and I was always lusting after more recharge so I could keep the AoEs coming.

I slotted 1 Acc, 2 Damage, 1 end-red, 2 recharge reductions in most of my attacks when I was using basic IOs.

I got Hasten early and slotted 2 recharge reductions in it right away. I slotted my auras with 2 end reds. At the higher levels, when you get more enc slots, I upped those to 3 each.

With both Aim and Build-Up recharging quickly, slotting each power for accuracy is less of an issue.

That changed totally when I hit 50, had my epic and started using IO sets, but the above combos worked best for me until that point.
