  Alright here we go...
  
  1. There's no need to rank Energy Shield. It's fine at rank 1. In fact you could drop it entirely and take a second heal like bionic shielding or conviction instead.
  
  2. Drop Force of Will from Defiance. It's horrible. Rank it if you have advantage points to spare, but it's not necessary. It'll simply make your life a bit easier.
  
  3. Lighting Arc is fine, but it does get a 20% damage boost on targets affected by negative ions. Just sometihng to consider.
  
  4. On Avalanche drop Serrated Shards and take rank 3 instead. Without Dex or a critical based primary superstat you won't have high enough critical hit chance even if you slot Critical Strike in secondary and primary Offense.
  
  5. Drop Rank 2 on Flash-fire. It's quite simply not worth it in the slightest.
  
  6. I'm pretty sure Evanescent Emergence on Resurgence is bugged, but it may have been fixed. Either way you already have a hold breaker in Ego Surge. Drop the advantage; rank it up instead or put the points elsewhere. Your Choice
  
  7. Your choice of Recovery and Overdrive with your three maintain attacks can work. If you want you can try replacing Recovery with Endurance and taking Thermal Reverberation instead since you already have Flash-fire to activate it. Just sometihng to experiment with.
  
  8. You took Bountiful Chi Resurgence, but didn't take the advantage. Make sure you take resurgent reiki. Slot of a Unity primary defense avoidance piece with a rank 5 gambler's Lucky gem for dodge core mod. This is more or less the standard.
  
  9. Don't rank masterful dodge. It's pointless.
  
  10. Your pet power. I have some bad news for you. If you don't use the commander specialization tree, any pet power you take will die in seconds and in essence be completely useless. Replace the power entirely.

  Thanks for advices.
  
  I put some ranks as I, first time on my heroes had spare points. Like the Force of Will and Shield etc. I will put them on healing powers instead and rank them up.
  
  If I go into detail;
  
  1- I picked Energy Shield to pass first 3 powers. Now he is using electric EB, Lightning Arc and Sparkstorm which I can continue to use. So will check and see if I can get another Shield(Like TK or Force one with benefits) and Overdrive. That would mean dropping Quicksand but I can take another natural disaster related power instead, like Dustdevil which looks like a little tornado.
  
  7- Overdrive scales with Int/End with boost from Rec so upon PTS test it was pretty nifty. I know Thermal Revb from one of my older builds. Unlike other powers it fires off with only one power which means I have to fire it off on every encounter. So Overdrive gives more flexibility on long run, like Alerts where I can't get close to boss and have to hit him from 50+ fts.
  
  10- Pet power is just a cosmetic as I love how Primal Incarnate change forms while traveling. It will be Disaster's pet animal, like Krypto or Bathound.
  
  And changed build to this. Changed Flashfire with Dustdevil which is a 100 ft AoE and more in theme with natural disasters. I don't know if advantage worth it or not.
