Spines/FA Last Power Picks

My spine/fa is 44 and I'm having trouble which powers I should take as my final 3. I suppose I could always make two builds, but I wanted to hear some input first.

The last three power choices would be 44-Burn, 47-Fiery Embrace, 49-Rise of the Phoenix
or 44-Conserve Power, 47-Focused Accuracy, 49-Energy Torrent.

I have seen energy torrent used to great effectiveness as it allows a spines scrapper to get off spine burst without getting hit. This is particularly tempting with the upcoming ability to set mission spawn sizes. But I'm questioning the damage of energy torrent and the use I'll get out of Conserve Power and Focused Accuracy as I mainly PvE.

On the other hand, on most every team I join or build, there is usually a controller on board which makes burn pretty useful, and fiery embrace would be nice just for added damage. Rise of the Phoenix is mostly for convenience sake, plus it looks awesome.

Again, I realize I can always make a second build, but I'd like to listen to some outside opinions.

I do not have a Spines/Fire, but I do indeed have a Fire/Fire. I do not have Burn, but I do have the other two. Fiery Embrace is a second buildup power. I love it.

Rise Of The Phoenix is, in my book at least, a got to have power. Let me tell you why....

I was tussling with Bobcat this morning in her EB state. I got her down to a sliver of health, and was cocky enough to believe I had won.

She did something, not sure what, but I faceplanted, and she was right there, daring me to use the wakie I had. I popped Rise Of The Phoenix, and seconds later I had her at my feet. Had I not had Rise Of The Phoenix, I would have had to go to the hospital, and by the time I got back to her, her health would surely have regenerated, and I would have had another catfight on my hands.

I solo though, so, what is important to me, will not be important to you.

Good luck with your build

Lisa.
