I'm in the "trying to combine Quason + SyphonStrike + my preferences" mode... trying to work Siphon Power back into the mix, using Syphon's PowerPool Choices... here's what I juggled together... thoughts welcome.

Slot[01] Level 1 (Starting Primary) : Transfusion /Empty
Slot[02] Level 1 (Starting Secondary) : Charged Bolts /Empty
Slot[03] Level 2 : Lightning Bolt /Empty
Slot[04] Level 4 : Ball Lightning /Empty
Slot[05] Level 6 : Hasten /Empty
Slot[06] Level 8 : Increase Density /Empty
Slot[07] Level 10 : Short Circuit /Empty
Slot[08] Level 12 : Siphon Power /Empty
Slot[09] Level 14 : Super Speed /Empty
Slot[10] Level 16 : Hurdle /Empty
Slot[11] Level 18 : Swift /Empty
Slot[12] Level 20 : Stamina /Empty
Slot[13] Level 22 : Speed Boost /Empty
Slot[14] Level 24 : Hover /Empty

Slot[18] Level 32 : Fulcrum Shift /Empty

(I figured I'd focus on slots once I got the powers worked out)

Thunderous Blast: Strangely enough, optional. I really only use this to end fights faster. This build is going to be very toggle heavy, and having to turn off those toggles back on after you use TB is very annoying. I don't recommend even slotting this beyond a single recharge reducer. You'll cap your damage with Fulcrum Shift on any spawn big enough to justify using this.

Based on this quote from Quason's original build, how vital is the power "Thunderous Blast"? I've got a level 32 Kin/Elec, so I've never experienced the power firsthand, which is why I'm asking. Is it similar to Blackstar but on the End side of things? Based on the HeroPlanner description, is it even possible to pop a CAB, hit a Transference, and just keep on ticking? Or is there a downtime post-boom? If there *is* a downtime post-boom where end can't be recovered, and you're soloing, aren't you leaving yourself out in the cold?

I'm just trying to use my newbiness to work in Siphon Power into the build so I can do my respec

As many have said, thanks for the guide, Quason.
