    just noticed I can take the illuminate out of particle wave and put the 2 points somewhere else, question is where. Maybe rank 2 imbue instead of lock n load? Also I have not run into anyone using AoPM so I think it's fine so far but maybe I should replace thundering return with a second slot, maybe medical nanites?

    I would prob change it into more of a dps build that doesn't use a weak hybrid aura. You can still get decent lockdown w/ Manip as the toggle.

    I included TClap if you want an AoE stun for when you get surrounded. I kept Particle Wave just for its potential use in clumping up mobs for follow-ups. As w/ all Flamethrower setups, its more of a trash/AoE build, but it can also supply some useful debuffs to the team. Mini Mines can also give you another self-heal. Gears mostly for Int, w/ some Con (and maybe some Rec for KI).

    Shoot, might as well throw Absorb Heat in there and be nigh unkillable.​​
    Squishy DPS builds that can solo QWZ w/videos.
    My super cool CC build and how to use it.

    Yea, Absorb Heat could also be good here, if you want to make room for it.

    I would switch out Thunderclap, since it's kind of redundant thanks to Flamethrower stun​​

    Yea, I included TC just for a quick & easy AoE stun when surrounded. But its is also not a key power here either, given the other CC options, so that's a fine sub to make.
