Haven't had a chance to look at your build in Mid's, and although I have a mid-30s Katana/Fire Scrapper, I haven't tried to make an IO build yet. But I did see a thread recently that could shed some light on this pairing, so here you go.

Hello fellow Heroes, Villains, and Somewhere-In-Betweens.
I've been working with a Katana/Fire scrap for a long time, Inferno Izanami, and she's awesome, but I was recently starting to feel the urge to rebuild her. The biggest problem with her is that I play her as an AOE bomshell, but the res in Fiery Aura isn't the best, and the def is pretty much non existant, so i have to spend more time dropping DA than throwing down my AOEs. I was hoping to come up with something that kept my original focus, AOE damage, and had good +rech and def to sm/l and en/-en, at least enough so that I can just pop a small def insp before each battle and get right to my aoes.
I'm trying to avoid purple sets and pvp IOs because I wanna try to get this build together and playable a little quicker than those will allow. This is the build I've come up with and I like it, it's pretty tight, but there's always room for improvement. Can anyone give me some suggestions to help me out? In particular, can anyone see a way to get a little more global rech out of this sort of a build without sacrificing too much def? I don't want to rely COMPLETELY on my Force Feedback procs for my rech.
Thanks so much
