What about Claws/Fire?

Heya,

With the new changes to FA and the fun I'm having with my Dm/Fire Brute, was thinking of doing a scrapper version of him, but then I thought about Claws. Main downside of Claws for me is the constant need to spam FU to stack it in order to get signifcant amounts of dmg and that's the main reason why I never use my Claws/WP, but maybe worth the try with FA.

Any input on the combo? good? bad?

So far I was thinking something like this:

Edit: Ooops, build changed for a proper Claws/Fire one, not a DM/Fire, sorry

....Thats a Dark/Fire build, not a Claws/Fire...

And I think Claws/Fire is fantastic. Tons of damage, claws light end use is great for fire, and *needing* to stack FU isn't really an issue if you just stop thinking about it like a buff. Think about it like an attack, and just chain it into your attacks. It just becomes natural.
