FF Build Based on Asura's Wrath

Hey guys! I'm getting back into the game again and I was interested in creating a build similar to Asura from Asura's wrath. I think it would basically be a Melee build with Fire thrown in. I know ranged and melee powers don't really go together but I do remember awhile ago I saw a melee/fire build that really worked well. Any help that can be provided is great! Also here is a video for reference to how his powers work. Man gets angry. Man's fists become fire. Man punches out God: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9WAaZeW90o

    The Fire effect for the hands and/or body can also be obtained via auras, which could be better to help w/ the theme, instead of relying strictly on powers for that. Also, it looks like Might would prob be a better fit than Unarmed generally, since the strikes are much slower and power-based in their looks. In fact, I may just make it a normal Might build, and maybe just throw in stuff like Fire Shield and Immolation for a hint of Fire (and you could also take travel powers w/ a fire effect). Here's an example dps build:

    (Unnamed Build) - Freeform (Melee Damage)
    v3.44:37

    Super Stats
    Level 6: Strength (Primary)
    Level 10: Recovery (Secondary)

    Level 9: Relentless (Str: 5, Rec: 5)
    Level 12: Amazing Stamina (Rec: 5, End: 5)
    Level 15: Quick Recovery (Con: 5, Rec: 5)
    Level 18: Physical Conditioning (Str: 5, Con: 5)
    Level 21: Bodybuilder (Str: 5, End: 5)

    Powers
    Level 1: Clobber
    Level 1: Enrage
    Level 6: Pulverizer
    Level 8: Unstoppable (Rank 2, Rank 3)
    Level 11: Demolish (Rank 2, Below the Belt)
    Level 14: Uppercut (Setup, Reckless Endangerment)
    Level 17: Resurgence (Rank 2)

    Level 35: Fire Shield (Rank 2)
    Level 38: Fiery Embrace
    Adv. Points: 34/36

    Travel Powers
    Level 6:
    Level 35:

    Specializations
    Strength: Swole (2/3)
    Strength: Physical Peak (3/3)
    Strength: Brutality (2/2)
    Strength: Juggernaut (1/3)
    Strength: Overpower (2/3)
    Vindicator: Aggressive Stance (2/2)
    Vindicator: Merciless (3/3)
    Vindicator: Focused Strikes (3/3)
    Vindicator: Mass Destruction (2/3)
    Warden: Fortified Gear (3/3)
    Warden: Ruthless (2/2)
    Warden: Upper Hand (2/3)
    Warden: The Best Defense (3/3)
    Mastery: Strength Mastery (1/1)

    (Not an early leveling build, ofc. If leveling w/ it, then Beatdown or Defense Combo can be trained early and un-trained later.)

    For single-target dps, you can charge Demolish to initially put up its debuff, and then alternate between 1x charged Uppercut and 3x charged Haymaker as your main rotation. Shockwave can be your main AoE here. For an alternative approach, you could replace Uppercut w/ Beatdown (getting Beatdown's Blindside and Reckless advs) and alternate between 1x combo of that and 3x charged Haymaker instead (and Beatdown can also be used as a close-up AoE cleave). Regardless, the build gears mostly for Str, w/ some Con and Rec.
