I can totally agree with you on that! I have almost the same build, except I have a couple of green stone talismans, a couple of strength fierce, and a couple of burning fierce - all level 50 max. I think I might replace the green talismans for a couple more strength fierce... but I actually like the burning talismans on him. The burn sometimes is just enough to take out the enemies.
If you have this character, don't hesitate to max him out. He's a staple on any team. Add me if you want to rent mine.
