Really? That's good to know. Thanks for the clarification.

What about Elec/Fire Brutes? Would I be able to drain enemy end as well with Consume, then keep them with no endurance with my normal attacks?

And at the moment, from the very little I've seen (only Charged Brawl and Jacob's Ladder), the electric attacks aren't too weak, though I am considering getting the Havoc Punch instead of Jacob's Ladder, as trying to position myself so the Ladder will hit multiple targets is getting kind of annoying... Plus, the Punch is the only other ElM attack I believe that actually gives you back end.

Okay, thanks for the help, both of you.

Hmm, so no Lightning Clap? Anyway, I was thinking that once I get all the attacks I plan to (6-7 from Elec if I do take Lightning Clap and if it is considered one, 2 at least from Mu Mastery), there'll be enough that I won't need both starter attacks. If I don't take Lightning Clap then I can just take the first three Mu Mastery attacks, that's about 9 attacks right there.

Hello, I've been waiting for some time for I7 to come out, and actually decided not to resub until it's out as I knew I won't play much if at all (all my new character ideas involve the I7 powers). Anyway, I gave up and decided to resub so I can check things in the Test Server... But from what I see the Test Server takes time to update things, so it still thinks that my account is inactive.

Anyway, my main idea for a character (it's in fact what I wanted to create when buying the game, only that without the electricity it didn't work well at all) is an Electric Melee/Fiery Aura Brute, it's supposed to be a robot who acts as a giant resistor (resister? English isn't my main language, so I'm not sure).

Anyway, I have a few questions:

1. Do the Electric Melee animations and effects clash with the Fiery Aura? I'm hoping that they won't. I don't care about the annoying noise I heard that they emit.

2. Does Fiery Embrace boost the damage of the Fiery Aura's damaging powers? That would be really nice, though I'll get it anyway (2 build ups every 180 seconds? Even without fire attacks it's worth it).

3. I'm trying to decide on my build, and right now from my main sets the powers I don't think I'll get are Taunt, one of the first powers on the Elec set, Temp' Protection, and perhaps Lightning Clap (not too sure about this one). Now, about Rise of the Phoenix... Should I get it? I guess it could be useful, but that depends on how many times I expect to die, and PvP isn't the main attraction for me in this game. I plan to get 6 powers from the common pools, and 2-3 powers from the Mu Mastery (Elec' Fences and either Mu Lightning or Ball Lightning). If I don't get Rise of the Phoenix or Lightning Clap, then I can get all three non-pet Mu powers.

I hope someone is willing to help. Thanks in advance.
