Sorry to be off topic, its just you gave me a flashback to one of my Ooooooooooold toons named Sid, back in the day when utc used to be overflowing. And of course before regen became nerfed

I would play this exactly like a dps fire build, but with Regen instead of Fire Form.

Which means:

1. Drop Heat Wave for Flashfires
2. Make EGO Primary and Int Secondary (for the spec tree)
3. Since you don't run End or Rec, Thermal Reverb should be MSA or Overdrive
4. Fire Shield is meh...I would take Force Shield or Telekinetic Shield instead with advantages on each.

This recent thread dealt with a similar problem. It might give you some ideas.

I like these suggestions. Flash Fires is a MUST.

I do like Thermal Reverb, even without END or REC superstatted. Since you have a defensive passive, just get in there and stand in your FF patch, you'll be fine Energy-wise.

Speaking of the passive, dump Regen and pick up Defiance. As a Fire, you'll be doing plenty of damage to draw some hate. If you find your HP drop too low early on, just throw up a block, using Force Shield with the advantage, and that should shave enough off to keep you rolling.

Conviction is too clicky for me, I prefer BCR, but that's a personal-play choice.

I have to say, my primary is a defensive fire and she freaking rocks. Enough damage to rip through stuff, and enough durability to stand up to pretty much anything. I know it is for theme, but I think you will find Rebirth to be a waste of a slot. Played well, you will hardly ever go down.
