Opinions on a HW DPS build

metalheadbeta

I've been tinkering with the HeroCreator, trying to actually get better at making my own builds instead of prowling the forums for them :P But I made this up for a toon of mine, and I was wanting some opinions on it. If anything should be improved, outright removed, etc. It's a HW build, with some level of emphasis on the Clinging Flames aspect of many abilities. Goal was to have Annihilate be my primary damager, but I'm open to changes

The build can work okay as is, though it's worth noting that if using TReverb (instead of Pulverize) that it scales more w/ End than w/ Rec. Skullcrusher also strikes me as a bit too redundant here, unless you wanted to throw it in for its Demolish adv. I may also get the Bold Entrance adv on Vicious Descent (the other advs also have merit). Brimstone also isn't strictly needed, but you can keep it for the pyre patch, if desired. Meteor Blaze is also kinda limited as an Ult, but you can keep it if you like the look of it enough. Str PSS's Juggernaut won't be as strong here w/o Con SS'd (could be Overpower if you want more of a dps-focused setup). I may also max Flanking in Brawler spec, if you are doing enough content w/ tanks.
