Help with making my plague build better

in Builds and Roles
I have a build based around spreading plague to everyone and everything. It is pretty good right now but I was wondering if it could be better as far as dealing more damage. I have seen other players in alerts go around and destroy everything with ease in a matter of seconds and I want my plague bearer to do the same. Here is the build I have right now. Let me know if there are anything I need to improve on to make it a one man killing machine.

(Unnamed Build) - Freeform
v2.4.2-29

Super Stats
Level 6: Constitution (Primary)
Level 10: Recovery (Secondary)
Level 15: Dexterity (Secondary)

Talents
Level 1: The Chiller (Dex: 10, Con: 10, Rec: 8, End: 10)
Level 6: Acrobat (Dex: 5, Con: 5)
Level 9: Impresario (Dex: 5, Rec: 5)
Level 12: Quick Recovery (Con: 5, Rec: 5)
Level 15: Accurate (Dex: 5, End: 5)
Level 18: Boundless Reserves (Con: 5, End: 5)
Level 21: Amazing Stamina (Rec: 5, End: 5)

Powers
Level 1: Infernal Bolts (advantages)
Level 1: Venomous Breath (Rank 2, Paralytic Bile, Locust Breath)
Level 6: Supernatural Power
Level 8: Pestilence (Rank 2, Rank 3)
Level 11: Form of the Tempest (advantages)
Level 14: Epidemic (Rank 2, Outbreak)
Level 17: Devour Essence (Rank 2, Phlebotomist)
Level 20: Conviction (Rank 2, Rank 3)
Level 23: Ebon Void (Voracious Darkness)
Level 26: Locust Swarm (Festering Bites)
Level 29: Imbue (advantages)
Level 32: Summon Shadows (Rank 2, Devouring Darkness)
Level 35: Hex of Suffering (Rune of Lethargy)
Level 38: Resurgence (advantages)
Adv. Points: 36/36

Travel Powers
Level 6: Scarab Flight (Rank 2, Rank 3)
Level 35: Scarab Tunneling (Rank 2, Earthen Embrace)

Specializations
Constitution: Unyielding (1/2)
Constitution: Fuel My Fire (3/3)
Constitution: Resilient (2/2)
Constitution: Adrenaline Rush (2/2)
Constitution: Armored (2/2)
Avenger: Ruthless (2/2)
Avenger: Round 'em Up (3/3)
Avenger: Relentless Assault (3/3)
Avenger: Offensive Expertise (2/2)
Guardian: Fortified Gear (3/3)
Guardian: Locus (2/2)
Guardian: Ruthless (2/2)
Guardian: The Best Defense (3/3)
Mastery: Constitution Mastery (1/1)

Pestilence and Venomous Breath are a must for this build. Everything else can be changed if necessary as long as it deals with the plague. No sigils of any kind because it would break the theme of the build. This build is all about dishing out as much damage as possible through plague and pestilence. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all.

    Its kinda redundant to have both Epidemic and Venom Breath. VBreath does have the nice stun adv, but Epidemic is better for dps (and easier to hit everything w/ a wide pbAoE). If you want to use Epidemic everywhere, I may pair it with Wisp or Condemn w/ adv for Debilitating Poison (Wisp is easier to refresh and adds more debuffs, though Condemn gives you a charged ranged opener as well) and prob another AD like MD to cycle when tagging everything. STR PSS may be good if you want a mix of high defense and decent dps.

    An example:

    Level 6: Covert Ops Training (Str: 3, Dex: 3, Con: 3, Int: 3)
    Level 9: Healthy Mind (Con: 5, Int: 5)
    Level 12: Physical Conditioning (Str: 5, Con: 5)
    Level 15: Body and Mind (Str: 5, Int: 5)
    Level 18: Quick Recovery (Con: 5, Rec: 5)
    Level 21: Negotiator (Int: 5, Rec: 5)

    Powers
    Level 1: Infernal Bolts (advantages)
    Level 1: Life Essence (Rank 2, Infernal Bond)
    Level 6: Supernatural Power
    Level 8: Pestilence (Rank 2, Rank 3)
    Level 11: Aspect of the Infernal (advantages)
    Level 14: Will-o'-the-Wisp (Guide, Ghost Fire)
    Level 17: Epidemic (Rank 2, Rank 3)
    Level 20: Masterful Dodge (advantages)
    Level 23: Resurgence (Rank 2)
    Level 26: Curse (Jinxed, Covet)
    Level 29: Conviction (Rank 2, Rank 3)
    Level 32: Lock N Load (Rank 2)
    Level 35: Ebon Void (Rank 2, Voracious Darkness)
    Level 38: Rebirth (advantages)
    Adv. Points: 33/36

    Travel Powers
    Level 6:
    Level 35:

    Specializations
    Strength: Swole (3/3)
    Strength: Aggression (2/2)
    Strength: Brutality (2/2)
    Strength: Juggernaut (3/3)
    Guardian: Fortified Gear (3/3)
    Guardian: Ruthless (2/2)
    Guardian: Find the Mark (2/3)
    Guardian: The Best Defense (3/3)
    Vindicator: Aggressive Stance (2/2)
    Vindicator: Merciless (3/3)
    Vindicator: Offensive Expertise (2/2)
    Vindicator: Mass Destruction (3/3)
    Mastery: Strength Mastery (1/1)

    Has many options to boost survival and make up for Epidemic's lack of CC. Curse isn't strictly needed, though it does add some extra CC, a self-heal, and some more debuffs. Other SS setups could work too, as could other toggles/forms, all w/ diff strengths and weaknesses.

    Thanks Flow. What gear would I use for this build? Also why STR? Everything is ranged attacks.

    STR PSS + Con SS gives you very high Defense via Juggernaut, and STR PSS still boosts dps via Brutality's severity; Str also gives you some extra passive knock resistance. Its more ideal for melee builds, but ranged builds can use it too- just skip stuff like melee crit (Overpower) or melee cost discount (Physical Peak).
