if i wanted a brute with tp for travel i'd just take /stone, it's got great regen and an awesome lvl 38 power

the set also has both defense and resists, and a self heal

Apparently you misunderstood the point of my post. I don't know why as I made it really really clear. You don't "have" to choose the leaping pool to rule with this secondary or the elec combo. You "can" still choose SA but that really doesn't have anything to do with this particular subject. Wait, why did you even post this? It has nothing to do with ES lol...how about you edit or delete your post.

I think Electric Shields secondary has a great deal going for it and I am glad that the only holes it has are capable of easily being filled by various power pools. All builds have holes that can be filled by power pool selections but most also have holes that can't easily be filled.

For everyone who is on the anti-leaping pool rant, you can also choose what I am going to...teleportation + hover. Same number of power selections, more mobile and less endurance over all during combat. Coupled with the Lightning Rod, teleportation almost seems purfect for the elec/elec brute. Teleport in, fight, teleport away, aidself, lightning rod back. The way I see it you have the ability to select 6 powers from primary...including 5 attacks and buildup and 6 powers from secondary...including 3 shields, lightning reflexes, endurance drain and godmode. That leaves 8 slots left: 2 aidself 3 (hover + tp foe/recall ally + teleport) 3 stamina. You could switch out a lower damage attack for air superiority. If you get immobilized, you can teleport to the next mob or teleport away if you don't have break frees. Just my 2 cents.
