um, yeah
As if Elec didn't have crappy enough ranged damage as it is, you skipped your self buffs...
You have no Tohit buffs, so good luck hitting mobs with Defense or Tohit debuffs...
Your slotting on Stamina and Health makes no sense...
You have multiple powers that cut your recovery, but you didn't take Power Sink...
this build is not something I would play or recommend to people, especially people new to Blasting.

Sure sure. you obviously didn't read where I said I prefered up close combat. I also said I didn't want aim or build up because the way i have my build. I didn't add my so's in here. I've got stamina slotted with performance shifter and health slotted with numina.
To be honest, I have every power fully slotted with io's. I'm not hurting for any buffs.
I'll repost with everything that I do have.
Hey, if it works for you, it works for you. But you did come in here pretty confrontational, as if you expected someone to make certain comments. It's like you only posted it FOR that reason.
Such a build requires explanation. It works for you for a reason. It will only work for someone else, and thusly be useful in this forum, if we know WHY it works for you.

Up close combat has nothing to do with not taking Aim and Build Up. It's a gimped build IOs or not.

I think you posted this in the wrong forum. Guides have power descriptions, slotting suggestions, build advice, general tactics, numbers, practically everything that's absent here. All I see is a build and some random opinions.

There are several deviations i've added from my own build..
Before anyone whines about aim & build up, lets just say I personally don't like to waste the power slots on powers that take forever to charge with short time usage.
I don't use build up either, my recharge rate is great aas it is. I use lightening field - (yeah laugh) because I am hell on wheels when it comes to close up fighting, as you will see.
Any extra continous damage close up is great.
I don't care who you are, don't take voltaic! It sucks. aggro magnet, and the damage is horrible. I wish nc would up the damage on that, to bring it more up to speed with the other pets in game.
Lemme know what you think. I've teamed with a lot of you on Guardian, and gotten massive compliments for my build. Hell on wheels blaster.

Uhh, BU and Aim are awesome. You're always going to be out shinned by a blaster with them. They are usually up at the beginning of every group and greatly increase your alpha strike. Not using them is just...well stupid is the onyl word I can think of to describe it.
Okay, since when does BU increase rech? You also said you didn't take it , so I'm doubly confused.
And dude, invis? You DO realize you can't attack out of invis and phase shift, right?
Finally, if you're a blapper, why the hell do you have a snipe?
I'm not sure why this was posted here as it offers no advice, good or bad. But really, don't listen to this stuff about no bu/aim, all you new blasters who may be reading this. They take a good build to a great build.

I do think this was a better suited post in the blasters forum, not here in guides.
No BU or Aim lolz
Seven years of heroism. Seven years of friendships. Seven years of saving the world. Seven years of virtuous selflessness.
You will return, for you are the mighty City of Paragon, the City of Heroes.
Aim and Build Up concerns aside, the posted build is not even close to being optimal for its stated purpose. Passing up your core endurance draining powers makes close combat a much risker proposition than it really needs to be for Elec/Elec. I am sure that it performs fine on teams with buffs and debuffs b/c just about everything does.
Hover? Zapp? Invisibility? I think you could do a lot better with your power choices in terms of bang for your buck. Some solo testing on Test with a few classic builds could go a long way in helping you firm up your build. Just a suggestion.
