Requesting Earth/Fire/Fire Build Critique

Hello Dominators.
Looking for some feedback on an Earth/Fire/Fire build. The plan is to stay at range unless I need to use Consume, and the build reflects that in a couple ways, namely:
No Incinerate, no Combustion
Ranged/E/N softcap, 57% S/L Resist

I'm wondering if I'll regret not having those attacks, any thoughts?

Build is also permahasten/dom'd but uses Agility to do it. I couldn't figure out how to hit the ranged def. cap with permas while keeping Musculature, which I would like to do if possible.

Thanks.

First off, you really dont need assault.

I prefer to have combustion really as part of a rotation unless you plan to just do ST dmg while fireball and RoF are recharging.

You dont really need Lockdown +2 mag in Volcanic gases. On my Earth/fire/mako i like to slot volcanic with Unbreakable Constraint: Smashing dmg and if i have room the posi energy blast proc. Just for a bit of fun.

Earthquake does benefit from some -to hit and the anchille's heel proc is always useful.

Other then that i think it is a pretty sound build. And well done on getting 3(almost) capped def with a res shield.

Oh and rather expensive!
