1.) Strike: not sure what Kinetic Combat is bringing to your build. I'd go with Crushing Impact (recharge) or Mocking Beratement (recharge *and* fire defense).
2.) You 5 slot many of your armors with Aegis, but you are only getting +1.56% Fire Defense more than just leaving it at 3 slots.
3.) In your pbaoe attacks, you have Obliteration in Blazing Aura and Multi-Strike in Burn. Oblit has a lot of recharge in the enhancements and very little end reduction; its a toggle. Multi-Strike has very little recharge and a lot of endurance. This strikes me as backwards.
4.) Spin is a moderate PBAOE, Consumer is a minor one. You have Consume slotted for damage, and Spin slotted almost as a set mule. You'd be more effective if you did it the other way around.
5.) If you are going to farm AE maps, you can easily get a Steadfast Protection +3% defense by rolling 10-14 bronze. You should include that one, and the Gladiator +3% def IO has come down in price some too (relatively).
Okay so here is my Claws/FA build i made for AE farming. My goal with this was to squeeze out as much fire def as possible and staying away from Focus and Shockwave due to the KB on those 2 powers. I went pyre because i am not gonna go through the hassle of switching alignments for mu mastery :P i could however use more recharge since it sucks on the current build. If anyone has any ideas as to how i can get some more recharge out of this build then please feel free to incorporate your own ideas into the build and post it back up. Please keep in mind that i DO NOT want either of the 2 KB powers in the set. Thanks in advance
