Not being softcapped to Melee, let alone AoE, makes this build not awesome.
Does it suck, no. Is it the best, no as well. Looks like you could use the build and not die a whole bunch... but if I was going to invest all that inf for the build... I would definately want it to be better.
Your character does not have capped defense. Depending on your AT the cap is between 175% - 225%. Your defense is not teal in the combat window, it can go higher. STOP SAYING IT IS CAPPED! The correct term is Soft Cap.
I enjoy playing in Mids. I specialize in Melee Characters, other AT's usually bore me.

Lol Sant. I think the presumptuous thread title is what prompted my... succinct post. |

As others have said, it doesn't suck, but it's not awesome either. The defense problems have already been noted. It also doesn't put together very good defense debuff resistance, which is one of the big perks of a high budget Shield Defense secondary. Slight gap in the top DPS chain, though you'll barely notice. Is Fire Sword slotted to fill the gap when Hasten is down? Just for set bonuses? Endurance doesn't look sustainable. You'd get more mileage out of the purple proc than the damage/recharge in Cremate. Accuracy seems fine. Hit points are good. Resistance is decent.
