Ehh, still not interested in chains. Haven't been doing them all (6) of these years and I still don't need to. That may change with the challenges coming with the Incarnate levels, so I will review my stance on "whack a mole, but with attack powers" at the appropriate time.
No biggie. It is nice for saving some slots.
Oh, you wanted two Miracles and 2 Numina's. That difference is acceptable. 
I like having tools for the right situation. Should I fight Knives of Artemis, Arachnos, or whatever, I will be prepared with the always-on bonus. I am not against using inspirations to fix the problem, but I would rather not rely on them the same way I would not want to rely on using blue inspirations if somehow I ran down my blue bar. That is why I ponder keeping Consume at the cost of a percentage point and change on Smashing/Lethal Defense that I could have had from Perfect Zinger. The extra recharge is about 2 1/2 seconds out of 45 seconds. I would practically have to use Build Up for a quarter of an hour non-stop to see a difference of one missing use. That is a drop in the bucket for me and I have a hard time seeing it as otherwise.

Lose: your buildup's tohit and less than 3 seconds of recharge. possibly but not guaranteed a bit of damage and recharge on fireball
Gain: global 9% accuracy, global 6.5% recharge. Note that this negates the losses on buildup and enhances every other power you have. The actual loss of damage on fireball should be small.
And you can keep the perception IO if you don't care about the tohit io. So that's all good.

Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.
Gosh. Another reason why I wish you could use the program and just show me the modifications.
I thought you were talking about scrapping the Perception one. Yeesh.
[Edit] Hrm. That's not working out the way I'd like it. I have enough Accuracy on the build and I actually lose out on Recharge for Fireball even with the set bonus. The 5% extra Recharge on all the other powers does not make much of a change at all, netting something Greater Fire Sword 0.2s faster Recharge. I think I will place the slot elsewhere.
[Edit] Ohh, I'll put it in Weave. I can get S/L Defense to 43.3%.

I'm interested in seeing what bAss_ackwards has modified on her build this time round, and what others think of her changes. I'm really interested in this thread in general.
Contact me in-game: @CheeseSlicer
I'd be interested in hearing how one of you dueced out FM/FA/Fire scrappers do against the Rikti Pylon and some of the other scrapper challenges. All this talk about what /Shields can do in that crazy thread has me wondering what you guys can really do. AV's and Pylons don't run, so you could use Burn plus all teh other fire goodness. Stack some defense with the resists, you've got the best heal and an endurance tool, a couple build-ups, blazing aura...
I only did some fine tuning. Nothing major was switched around.

If you run Incinerate-scorch-cremate-scorch, that can be a seamless chain on DOs with haste. And is nearly seamless when haste is down. Really high damage too. Greater fire sword is very slow. Looks awesome though.
I always forget reactive armor is 1.25% s/l for some reason my brain thinks it's one of the .9% ones.
On healing flames, it is a minor recharge difference (I'm guessing like 2 or 3 seconds tops) BUT, it also comes with a bit more healing per activation (I'm guessing like 10 to 20), and 2.5% recovery from Miracle and 12% Regen from Numina's. All total the four advantages do add up over the minor difference in endurance.
Blueside, what do you need to worry about perception for? Do you run that many arachnos missions? I was thinking not about the to-hit, but swapping for the tohit/recharge gives you a bit more recharge and should be enough to let you drop one of the common IO recharges so you can move the slot elsewhere and pickup more goodies. I know redside I want either the proc or leadership somewhere on every character because there is so much blind. But blueside just don't run into it pretty much ever. Yellows have always been sufficient for my heroes.
