If remember correctly the AoE dmg in earth is crappy. So go with pyre.
Also for the love of god get Fiery Embrace.
What exatly where you trying to do on the build you posted?

@Caucasiafro
AE farms with fire dmg enemy's, and on fire embrace i forgot it increases all attacks ty for advice
First off, your hurting yourself with all the Frankenslotting. It is most useful in a power where you want usablility out of only a few slots.
Get the Forcefeedback proc's out of the single target attacks and put one of them in Footstomp. Trust me its awesome there. Oblits aren't great in footstomp anyways, good dmg, great rech, but too little end redux.
Move the numina's proc out of healing flames and into health so you have it all the time. In a click it only last 2 minutes and you can't stack it, so its mosly wasted there.
I double what unltrawatt said about firey embrace. 6 slot for burn for damage its your best aoe attack. Your oblits from footstomp will go great there.
It mostly seems like you don't have a goal for the build. You need to decide if your going to build for defense, high recharge, or whatever, and then do it.
Build for strictly recharge if this is for AE farming. That means pickup Hasten and slot your ST attacks for set bonuses. Also, go either Mu or Pyre Mastery.

ty guys will fix it up going for high recharge
So if the force feedback is in footstomp what would i replace the oblits with? and i may have to give up a power for fire ball. btw kinda new to mids so take it easy im learing 
Quote:
If your doing AE farming i recommend franking FS for rech/end, should be at or near the dmg cap making +dmg less usefull, and some procs. Right now i have the Armageddon one, -res one (which can easily be replaced with a dmg proc for A LOT less inf), and of course FF+rech on my build.

I find the Fury of the Gladiator proc wasted on a power like Foot Stomp. Places where you want the -Res are in prolonged fights against single targets, not against minions and lieutenants which die quickly anyway.|

I personally have Foot Stomp slotted with Armageddon and the Force Feedback proc.

Here's a build that Ultrwatt really helped me with. It has both soft-cap defense and its perma hasten. Mind you it is a very costly build.

Awesome, I've been reading and looking for a build like this since I also love my SS/Fire and want to use it as my main character and want to do all the end game with it and more. Just started playing again, so I don't have a ton of money, but working on it.
Epics are only things I need. I was looking at your guys' builds in that other thread Helluva Goon and I was basically going to use that same build, but I changed a few things, mainly to keep costs down...
I've noticed a lot of builds taking RoTP instead of Temp Prot, is there a reason or is it mostly a personal preference? Without temp prot is 15% less fire resistance gonna be a bigger hit when farming?
Another thing is I see you melt armor is taken and not slotted it a 60 second cooldown and pretty heavy end usage? Is it used at all, or just taken to get to Fireball? In the build I tweaked from this one, I moved some slots around, still maintain SM/L cap, perma hasten with alpha slot and gained about 7% more recharge with a little more end usage (.05/s), but also a little more recovery ( .10/s with all accolades) and took Fireblast instead with 5 slot Apocs and also removed a slot from Rage which changes from 67 to 77 sec recharge. Also removed slot from health since Panacea set is wayyyyyy outta my budget as of now and changed Panacea to Doctored Wounds in Healing Flames.
So is what I changed worth it? Any feedback?

Hey everyone I have come to a stop in my build. i cannot decide what epic would be most beneficial to me. Someone told me go fire or earth, earth has more AoE correct? So if anyone could tweak my build it would be most appreciated .
