) because I don't like looking like a walking ice cube on a fire character and then pumped up S/L defense with set bonuses. As long as the enemies aren't using a lot of psi or pure elemental attacks I tend to be able to survive getting in there and using all my PBAoEs and it's a lot of fun.A lot of people don't like Combustion, but I find it hits a ton of targets and is a lot easier to use than Fire Breath on a PBAoE based character. I also find the minor hold protection in Acrobatics highly useful... it can stop a single normal hold and with 27% ranged defense that's usually all I have hitting me. It also helps a lot if I'm standing next to a tank and a boss decides to AoE hold him.

Anybody got any idea's on improving this?

Looks pretty good, though I'd consider going Thunderstrike for your single target blasts. You lose a bit of recharge but the extra ranged defense can be very useful at avoiding mezzes and non-S/L/E ranged attacks like psi blasts or some fire attacks. The extra recharge will let you put out more damage though so it might be worth it.

Some thought's on the OP's build-
I prefer fire breath to combustion, at least I get 'zomg dmg' for my long rooted animation. You could switch your build up slotting to look like aim if you wanted to switch this- slotting a set of posi's would gain you 6.25% rech and an extra slot to play with if you went this route. Personal preference on this one.
I'd drop the chance to build-up proc (gaussian's) from build-up. A 5% chance every 30s isn't that great. I do like the hp bonus. Another option would be to slot this as you have aim and drop a set of oblits for a purple set if it's in your budget.
Move 2 slots from web envelope to stamina. As it is now you have .5 net recovery gain- not enough to attack with.
I think you'd be better with the purple dmg proc compared to the build-up proc in blaze, if you can afford it. Further, you want the proc in your most used attack. I frequently spam fireball-blast-blaze-blast; so for me that power would be fire blast.
Just my 2 inf 
Quote:
I agree on the Gaussian's.....UNLESS you want to slot the full set for the defense bonus, in which case it's worth it.

That depends on your play style. If you go the PBAoE route then Combustion is going to hit a whole lot more targets than Fire Breath... it may do less damage but you're nailing most of a spawn vs 2-3 targets. If you actually jump out to cone range to use Fire Breath or use it as an opener then yes, it can be better.

So I've tried to come up with a close combat build for my main and favorite toon but I'm not liking the results so far. Any advise out there? I want to max my use of Hot feet and FSC and RoF. Right now I have the Ice epic in mind for the Def shield and snow storm to stack more slow on the mobs. Should i be focusing on just +Def or Rech? My build is at home right now, I'll try posting it later.
