Samurai augmented with minor elemental powers.

Working on a samurai that uses brimstone ultimate and figured I'd might as well throw in the vicious descent for thematic purposes. I'm starting out Dex/Con/Rec for leveling but plan to go Str/Dex/Rec at 40th.

    The Brimstone Ult device is one of the odd cases where Call to Battle can be a nice idea, since you can double its Aegis resistance given to allies if you've already given them Reckless. So I may consider making that addition. Although the Brimstone Ult is okay, I am unsure if you also plan on regularly using the normal version of Brimstone, and if so then you could consider some of the other special advs on it (depending on what you want out of it). It also seems a bit wasteful to take another Ult if you wanted to make the build to use the device Ult (and even if the other Ult applies Overpower), since they'll be on a shared cd. I'd prob also max Focused Strikes in Vind, to boost DW's crit rate w/ FotTempest and Steadfast. Hopefully energy is fine w/ the build overall, but if not then a second Dragon attack w/ Rush is another option.
