Except that you can boost dull pain with recharge, which you cant to OWTS (still making no sense to me why you can't :/)

You can soft cap a shield/elec and it will survive pretty well. Ever since i had an elec/elec blaster i always wanted elec melee for tanks, and always wanted to do an invuln/elec.

Its just SUCH a good combo, however with shields, i'm torn cause i know with investment i can make an offensive powerhouse, good for farming and the like.

The pros and cons, invuln matures faster, and takes a SIGNIFICANTLY less amount of money to make a good decent IOd build.

Also, invuln benefits a lot from hasten, which means that your attacks recharge faster, and are slotted more for recharge unlike the shield tanker, which wil lbe using a full set of either touch of death or mako's bite in the single target abilities, which elec melee is slightly lower on in general.

Invuln also helps you to be more accurate which is nice, but in both builds with the addition of physical perfection, even if unslotted its best to take focused accuracy prior to it so that's a little less of a boon.

I know i wont have room in one post so i'll have to do in two. So you just have to figure, do you want a more end game resulting toon, with a hefty investment of IOs that is better for farming purposes (shield/elec) Or do you want a much cheaper but effective build, that matures faster and all around easier to level up play before bonuses, and is a little better when soloing as well, but can still bring the pain when teaming (invuln/elec)

I'll post the biuld for the invuln/elec first, just be aware, MIDS did not update yet, so you have to kinda figure where the elec powers are in relation to the dark melee powers. Dark melee had the closest power skills in relation to elec melee, first 2 attacks then a cone, and it has 2 pbaoe attacks for thunder strike and lightning rod.

FYI touch of fear is build up, dark consumption is lightning rod, siphon life is thunder strike, and soul drain is chain induction. The bonuses play out the same, and where laser beam eyes is, is where physical perfection will go.

FYI for physical perfection, its 2 numinas and 4 efficacy adaptors. So thats 25% more recovery and slotted + bonuses you get like 55% extra regen out of it. End result of this build is regenerating a tic every 3.5 seconds.

The bonuses if you look at mids will be accurate as well with this build.

And recharge, its on a 45 second base recharge timer unlike the 30 second recharge of its defender version.

It does do good damage though, and the knockdown is good. If you are only one slotting it, i wouldnt bother, but its a good power if you fully slot it.

Personally I'm missing why you cant move something like force of nature to level 49 instead. It really only needs 2 level 50 Recharge IOs. If you play your character right, its base resistance should be more than enough to get by, especially since you have drain psyche and siren's song and to an extent shockwave as controlling/regenerating abilities.

You will be wanting a faster recharge however, going as close to 7 seconds as you can to keep the end drain fully on enemies such as bosses without a hickup of endurance for them to earn.

Its easier for me to just post the build, but my SC has 47% accuracy,53% damage, 95%ish recharge, and 88% end mod. With a bonus 26.5% end redux, which does help as even IOd with power sink i've seen my blaster get low at times through attacking so much and saving power sink for when i really need to sap a mob fast.

This keeps the power with decent damage 78% of its total non-buffed output, and keeps it in high value to use as an end draining ability, with the key on its maxed recharge. And granting great bonuses as well with my slotting, 20% regeneration, 1.13% max hp, and 1.5% recovery.

And as per lightning field, skip it. There are too many instances, even in my very melee centric blaster, where you'll be jumping in and out of melee, and not getting good use for it, and its not going to be doing much of anything for draining purposes, and with short circuit/power sink you won't need it at all. It looks cool and that's about it. It doesn't matter how blappified your build is, no blaster is, or at least should be in melee 100% of the time

With dark miasma at all + any blast set, leadership really won't fit in at all anyways. For one on your question karl, you shouldnt need tactics considering all the defense debuff your attacks should be doing. Maneuvers, well if you plan your character right everything will be floored from to hit anyways making it useless. Only possibly AVs would it make a difference on, but with all the healing and still debuffing not really for how little it gives but YMMV for that, but again mostly only for AVs.

The only one i would bother with on a dark is assault maybe, if you can manage to find an extra spot.

As to the orignal posters question on the storm/dark. DEFINITELY skip leadership on it. There are WAY too many good powers in both storm and dark to take to warrant the end cost alone on the leadership toggles.

As mentioned, freezing rain will take care of most any acc issues. Manuevers doesnt really have anything to stack with. And assault, as yes it always helps, but personally there are just too many good powers to pick in its place. In my build the only thing i could see skipping for it would be hasten, but i just love having freezing rain and lightning storm up as often as possible :P.

The same target cap when a team of 8 is on invincible...

Oh yes, the usefulness of a secondary effect on a nuke being a mag 2 hold, when simple slotting ensures that all minnions will be dead by it without using aim or build up anyways, brilliant!

I think the hold mag will, well who are we kidding unless its mag 4 its not going to mean anything anyways really. I think the hold mag/duration of atomic blast will remain the same simply for that reason. I'd much prefer actually if atomic blast got a lingering radiation/fallout effect to it instead of the hold and cause -speed/-recharge on any surviving enemies.

It can stay the same, just look at fire blast and how fast flares and fire blast recharge.

"fire blast is all damage you say" Just look at rad, its only mitigation is the stun in CB, and if you even consider the inconsistent knockback and slow animation of electron haze worthy in any sense.

I think Rad blast will easily remain exactly the same, outside of neutrino bolt and laser beam eyes being normalized to 1/1.67 activation times. And of course, the AT modifier which will naturally reduce the -defense from the rad blast attacks.

I would tend to agree and disagree with this statement.

First off to the OP, GET both amplify and build up. You will use them alternating for your aoes, and both when you nuke. There is no way IMO a sonic/mental can have room for a power like assault. Check out the link in my sig for some advice on the matter and a build to look at.

As to skipping fitness. For starters, i wouldn't skip hurdle. It plus combat jumping is very vital for combat mobility to jump in and out of melee and to position yourself quickly for your cone attacks. Health and a couple bonuses are also nice so your not HAVING to always go in and use drain psyche, letting you leave it for when you really need it. Likewise with stamina.

My sonic/mental has actually been going on red enhancments in stamina for a while now. But there are times i can see having enhancments in it a bonus. Then there is also the bonuses between health/stamina, two 1.88% max hp bonuses for 3.76% max hp without really sacrificing anything is a big help, making your drain psyche more effective as well. As if for example when fighting an AV, the regen will stack with your health and bonuses to heal you should you get hit by it when in melee.

And i'd still get WoC for sure, if nothing but for the super cheap purple bonuses. Plus it looks so darn cool! I've actually had it confuse guardians from the rikti to give me AM and Bubbles before :P. If another player has it as well, it will stack to confuse even bosses. I will agree that its main usability is low, but i would also always pick it up for just the cheap purple set bonuses. I actually almost never use sirens song, tbh can't even remember the last time i did since i picked up static discharge to complete my aoe attack chain, but it can have a use, but i will always keep it for the cheap purple set bonuses.

And oh yeah, pick up static discharge

What i meant by that, is that between the 4 seconds a tic to 3 seconds a tic, you are going from 120%, to 220% which with just bonuses is hard to achieve and you will be using the ranged purples 3 times and some 8% bonuses to do so in addition to both uniques and some 4% bonuses.

Once you get to 120%, you wont really notice a difference until you are close again to the 220% bonuses level. Yes it "will" be working on the back end just the same regardless, but these are the values to which you will be able to calculate and count on for the tic to happen. So i consider them the milestones to strive for.

If you are at 753% regen - 178% = 575% extra. Which a tic every 2 seconds is 418%, then a tic every 1 second is 1012% extra that is needed. According to the ratio, you'll barely be over a tic every 2 seconds compared to what is needed for a tic every second. So yes while all that regen is working, most of the bonuses you put into it you'll most likely not notice much at all. I would worry less about regeneration bonuses on a regen, and more on max hp bonuses and recharge.

Defenders are buff/blast

Yeah, except for all our saved links, such as the guide in my sig, and several other guides i have written.

To the last appropriate place YOU were. FYI these forums F@$###2ING SUCK! i still can't find the post I LEFT MYSELF in this thread... and that little down arrow only jumps to the last post in the thread, not the one I LEFT MYSELF.
