The Derek's paradox

in Builds and Roles
So this is a problem I had long ago, but it's more of a psychological term and its affecting a sacred FF slot!
Ehem anyway here is the thing, I have a FF slot with a toon called Derek, he has a Full un-modded Justice set and its lvl 40, BUT it received a retcon after his leveling and then... nothing, he has no points spent and a couple of cool looking costumes.
The thing is... every time I log in and check him I'm like.. What I want this to be? I have enjoyed Tank role as a Behe and a FF, I have lived somewhat being a squishy DPS a time, I recently got myself a healer and a CCer... and what about making a hybrid thing that doesn't care about team content?
So every time I try to get something for him to work I end up scratching it till next time I log in with him, and everything repeats.
Some might say its a theme problem but is more than that, more like a feeling of "What if I screw this up?" of course you can always un-mod and retcon the thing but with having this on mind I still haven't figured out something for Derek.

I'm not actually looking for help I know I will eventually figure out something to get out of the paradox, I wanted you guys to see this situation I ended up with

    Hah, well okay. I mean, have you decided what attack style/anims you want to use? Or even more basic: ranged vs. melee? Mix of them?

    Well, you aren't taking ES/NM here, so Con isn't as much a priority- more or less some minor dmg and energy boosts (via Enrage) and knock resist boost in Str vs. maxHP and defense/offense boost (via Juggernaut) in Con. I may consider getting Conviction to R3 for that build, but otherwise it looks okay for a dual passive build.

    perhaps.. could settle on R2 of Aggressor and Antagonize for it. Up to you if its worthwhile or not.

    I will do something, ill let them at the far bottom of the list, so if I have to change it it would cost less

    Good build, it's very much like my Vengenncea character.

    I would recommend dumping one or both of the chain single-target attacks. They just overlap. On the other hand, Iron Cyclone with Vortex Technique is one of my favorite powers in the game. It also stacks Enrage REALLY well.

    I would also say dump Uppercut. You don't really need two melee single-target attacks.

    Replace one of those with an energy unlock.

    Swap Invulnerability for Defiance and don't rank it. That will leave you 4 advantage points that you can put into Conviction. Plus, Defiance feeds you energy, so that's good.

    I would put Nailed to the Ground on Pounce. It comes in really handy.

    For Mods, I would say just split STR and CON evenly. You might drop one into REC, but I doubt you will need it.
