Trying your build, I am 18th. So far so good. Question though, why didnt you take hasten to help with your recharge?
Honestly? Because I haven't really felt any need for it on this character. He simply doesn't have a lot of long-recharge powers. The only one I wish was up more often is Power Sink, and I'm already scrambling for slots.
Mind you, I may wind up dropping Aid Self for Hasten if I wind up running incarnate content often enough to get the Rebirth Destiny power...

As you can see, this is my old FF/Electric blast bubbledrainfendtroller, dusted off in preparation for Issue 20.5. And as you might have guessed from the bizarre adjective I made up to describe him, I play him a bit oddly- sapping as best I'm able once the bubbles are in place, shoving things to where I want them to be with Force Bubble, and picking off the more annoying enemies with my pair of holds.
With this build, I've managed to crank him up to 60% ranged defense, which as far as I can recall is the softcap for the incarnate content, but I'm wondering if there's any way to improve this build noticeably. I've never been very good at building for defense, and I'm afraid it shows :/
