Fire/Energy (L.30)
A couple thoughts I have are:
* Swap Build Up at level 30 for Hasten. Mainly because it allows Consume and Healing Flames be up more often in big fights. If you could drop one of the attacks (Energy Punch?), bring Fire Shield forward and take Hasten earlier it means you could have it slotted sooner which may be better.
* Swap the Damage IO with an Endurance Reduction IO in Blazing Aura - but this all depends on what your Endurance management is like.
Edit - another thing to think about if you do burn through endurnace quickly is getting the Numina Unique (which starts at lvl 30 and can be bought with Merits) and slot that in Health which will give you a Regen and Recovery boost.

Here's an easy one for you guys.
Firey Aura / Energy Melee tank. Yes, not optimal on two accounts, but I got a cool color combination and I'm digging it. Right now he is level 21.
Following rules:
Up until level 30 slots and powers
Why such a basic build? Because I have way too much altitis to fully IO most of my characters and/or raise them all the way to 50. So setting the goal to 30 and taking the number of slots for that level is more realistic.
Anything critical missing here? Please keep advice centered on up till 30. If I end up really liking him, I'll think about expanding.
