Howdy folks! I was VERY excited when I learned that Thermal Radiation was being ported to defenders in i21. First toon I made upon i21's release was my Therm/Sonic "Blazing Pulse" on Virtue. This is my first serious defender, and I'm LOVING it so far! Now that Mids has been updated, I've been able to more accurately plot out my defender.
I figured that I would aim for recharge because Heat Exhaustion and Melt Armor have AMAZING effects! Kind of wish Melt Armor had a shorter recharge and wider radius (cough* like the new and shiny "Slowed Response" cough*), but at least it's permable with Spiritual Alpha and perma-hasten.
So, I'm posting my build here. I chose not to take Reactive Interface because I have Siren's Song. I do have a few questions about my build though:
1. Is it worth having that sixth slot in Siren's Song for the range enhancement?
2. How should I slot Melt Armor? I used an Achille's Heel and slotted the rest with 2 acc and 2 rech. Should I be using any sets, and should I have another slot there?
3. I slotted Soul Transfer with Obliterations, primarily for the set bonuses, because I like those ones better than the Doctored Wounds set bonuses (both give 5% recharge, but Oblit also gives some nice accuracy). I suppose slotting for Disorient would be nice and more practically suited towards what the power does, but I'm already maxed in the rule of 5 for 6.25% recharge bonus. Is Obliteration the way to go here?
4. Is it worth having the Kismet accuracy bonus on Hover, or is that slot better used somewhere else? I figured it would be a nice touch since my debuffs are not auto-hit.
I think my build looks pretty good, and I don't think any of my powers are hurting for slots. Let me know what you think!
