Unless you want to get into a bunch of Trigomometry math, I suggest you use sketches and sketch-based patterns to control the pattern, instead of trying to pattern an already existing solid body.  Or you can use a "Sketch Driven" pattern to pattern the first solid body.  Either way, instead of your pattern being constained to a rectangular pattern, you can use a dimensioned construction line to set your angle, then create a point (or your step profile) on it, then pattern that point (or step profile) along the construction line.  When creating this sketch pattern, use the Quantity parameter and the Spacing parameter within it.  Then you can use that sketch to either extrude your steps (if you used the profile sketches), or base your "Sketch Driven" pattern by (if you used the points).
