As somebody with a level 50 Kin/elec, here's where I see /elec having issues.

1. It has no third ST attack so it's soloing speed is lower. If you can accept Sparky as a 3rd attack versus a pet you have to keep resummoning fairly often, then that helps. Sparky doesn't come until fairly late either, but there are other sets(even really good ones) with that issue as well.

2. It has two AoEs which should, in theory, make it better for larger spawns, but most any and everybody slot SC for end drain and not damage. This means /elec only really gets 1.5 AoEs. Add in the lack of ST damage, and you get the rep that it has lack luster damage.

3. End drain is a pseudo control aspect given to non control ATs. They can't make it too good as it would start to overshadow the other blast sets since it gives damage and credible mitigation to two ATs that would welcome that sort of thing. If you have a controller, or more on your team, end drain is so a second class type of mitigation that you are left feeling like a defender with just under performing damage and no practical additional mitigation. I have to be in the top "x" percent who would be interested in seeing the fallout of controllers getting an Elec control set.

How to fix it? Ugh. I think the end drain in a way works well enough using SC twice that you could maybe cut back the end drain a small amount, and then boost the damage. I'm not really sure that works from a practical point of view though. If it works functionally the same, then cutting back on the end drain doesn't really matter. I would certainly boost the damage in SC. Giving it a better animation time would be awesome as well. You and/or teammates will at some point die because you were stuck in SC's animation for 3 seconds. You play /elec long enough it's going to happen.

Not not be all doom and gloom, here's a couple things I do like about elec. The biggest not talked about mitigation aspect of /elec is the shock animation your targets go through after you hit them. It's not a lot, but if you keep tossing out blasts you can slow down incoming damage. There are times when end drain becomes a very underrated mitigation tool because it can be a control aspect that gets kind of forgotten about. My Kin/elec absolutely owns the end drain EB in the LGTF, and that thing can put a world of hurt on a team. IIRC, the Cimerorans were given some resist against controls. End drain wasn't one of them.

Far too many powers with stupid long recharges. Some powers come across as fairly tame. Others, ie Time Out, are simply "I win" buttons.

If I could get Petrifying Gaze and Darkest Night from Dark, I would be very tempted to switch those in for the Fighting pool on my /regen. Biggest issue would be finding the slots for PG.

Power: Adds CP in case you need it, but I never felt like I did. Standard toggle resist is good but limited in terms of types it covers. TF is gonna do a boatload of damage if you soften up your target with stacked -res.

Elec: Much like Power it has a end recovery, hard hitting melee attack, and resist toggle. The immobilization power is rather lacking.

Psy: /sonic is already fairly credible with control and Psy would just give you more of that. Mass Hyp could replace Siren's Song in your build as well if you wanted to.

Dark: End recovery, a Build Up type power, PBAoE disorient toggle which can stack with Screech, and standard res toggle.

For all of the awesome that Plant gets, it is an aggro magnet. As Ideon mentioned, I think it's part of the design.

Leaping pool also offers better KB and immobilization protection.

Are the PvP enhancements from defeating other players, or things in the PvP zones?

Pretty much all ATs need more Epics, but scrappers had three so I can see why they got one first. I would like a Fire one once defenders get Thermal/fire as well. Really want Dark for tanks though. My Dark/stone would love getting access to T.T..

And here's the Fitness and Leadership pool version. If you want to shift some slots around, you can take one of the accs from single target powers, but beyond that it's a fairly solid common IO/SO type build. Only the KB protection IO is there and that's because you want some sort of KB protection in the build. It doesn't have CJ for countering immobilization, but you can get some of that resistance from IO sets. It lacks ID, but I'm hard pressed to see what to take out to fit those powers in when you are doing both Fitness and Leadership. It also lacks Air Sup. that was in your build and if you are hell bent on it being in there, sub it in for Shout because I'm drawing blanks where else to put it in.

I just went and subbed out Leadership, for Fitness, and moved some slots around. I gave you Fly instead of IR. If you want Fitness and Leadership, you'll have to lose Stealth. I would probably switch to the Psy epic and take out Aim and Siren's Song to open up the other two power slots.

They really need to add to epics. Tanks could use Dark and Defenders could use Cold.
