Need build help for Fire/Fire/Cold Blapper...

First off let me state as plain as possible that I am a blaster novice. I play mostly scrappers and and enjoy them greatly. After 5 years of playing you want to branch out :P I toyed around with a Fire/Fire blaster and discovered he can lay it down big TIME! and feels like a crazy scrapper with all dmg and no def. I have looked at the forums and found some knowledge and seeking more on this AT. I posted below my playable build that I came up with. I appreciate some help with it because I know it's probably a steaming pile of .. :P

I will probably plan on Slotting this guy up because the fun ones I generally do. I tried making a I/Oed build with S/L softcapped at 45% but came short at 35% =/ Any help in this would be appreciated as well.

Didn't have any time to do a decent job, sorry, but here's a mess that might show you what's needed.

If you get melee, like that sword you skipped, you would be able to slot it with KC and not like I slotted brawl.

NOTE - [to critics] I KNOW I BROKE THE RULE OF FIVES ABOUT FIVE TIMES.

But, even with all the rule of five breaking, Mids is taking that into account and you're at 48% S/L.

And clearly this is overkill. You don't need but five of the 3.75, any more won't do anything, so don't get freaked that there are only 10 slots left. This is a framework, remove the stuff you don't like and add the stuff I skipped. I did keep all your powers, and you don't need that sword, but...actually, I think KC is much more expensive than Oblits right now, but you could always go with Haymaker, etc, Touch of Death.

This is the build I'm currently using on my Fire/Fire/Cold blaster. It has soft capped S/L defence and a LOT Of recharge, accuracy, and some nice damage bonus.

However, I have purple sets in that build. You can still use that build but replace the purple sets with the regular IO set equivalent and you'll still end up with a very good build. I'll post the build with no purple sets after this one:

Questions have now all been answered for you, problems solved...done and done.
