This is a variant on a build I saw earlier in the forums. Use Conjure Flame, then cover it with Recall. Should recall get strip, all that happens is that you get teleported back out of danger. Short recharge time on all these skills except Bed of Coals. This is an all out damage build obviously, but I would like to add in a self-heal if possible. Starburst is only 5/10 energy, 10 recharge and gets past conditions.

You may use this skill only once per mission. It is pretty lame. Bed of coals will make AI scatter. Horns of the Ox is lame in pve because targets are usually not alone. Star burst is wasted elite. All high end monsters like 24 and 28 level ones have high armor and star burst does 77 FIRE damage. You would be much better off with plam strike as elite, which does more damage and ignores armor and gives you ability to use more than one dual attack. If you use a KD attack then something like holy strike will do more damage than star burst while not being elite.

it's been my experience that recall leave's the enchant on the ally you targeted (like when you throw mending on an ally), so it has to be striped off of them to teleport you away.
one thing i'd sugest to try, is replaceing star burst with fireball; then do what you normaly do, but after you use the combo drop your recall to get distence and finish off with the fireball. - they both do the same dmg, and cost the same E if burst hits 2 foes, but gives you distence in case your target has a death nova lyeing in wait: distince from the target you drop would be the only benifit to this, so it would pretty much boil down to peronsal taste with conjure flame are you useing firey daggers? or are you switching to a fire staff/wand, useing the spell, then switching back? - i'm not entirely familure with how this skill works as i've never used in a build. - but the way it's reading to me, if your not useing a fire wepon then you're not geting the benifit from it - which would make it the leading canidate to replace with shadow's refuge IMO. -- i do see the advantage you get from haveing it as an enchant for your combo, but there are other enchants that seem would be more benifical. like fire atunement, or shadow form if you go with fireball. i do like how you've got your bases covered with horns of the ox and star burst.. you either get the knock down into coals, or you strike two foes with star burst. - however, bed of coals will spread out the AI, might send your target running as well - i might try death blosum instead of ox. sure the knock down into the coals is devistateing, but blosum's +dmg to surounding enemies would be a good compliment to star burst or fireball. in which case, bed of coals would be a canidate to replace with shadows refuge. and props for keeping rez in an exparamental build, often times people trying new things will forego bringing it in favor of trying out alternate skills. over it all looks like its a good start, just needs some refineing. - i'll be posting a E/A build that i've had success running like an assassin . - i'll try it with a couple of the ideas i see you useing here, then post when i'm done fine tuneing.
