Opinion on last 4 powers needed for Elec/SR Build


BIGGBANG

 

Posted

Hey all,
Im looking for a lill help picking my last 4 powers on this build. I am leaning toward getting MU mastery for Ball of Lightning and that will take up 2 powers. After that I might take Manuvers and Assualt so I can get closer to the defense soft cap. If I dont MU for BoL then I was thinking about Tough and weave along with hasten. I have no intention on PVP with this toon and I might IO the toon out for global rec or def. I havent made my mind up yet. Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated. The current build is listed below.

1 HIDE/HAVOK PUNCH
2 FOCUS FIGHTING
4 FOCUS SENSES
6 ASSASIN SHOCK
8 BUILD UP
10 HURDLE
12 COMBAT JUMPING
14 SUPER JUMP
16 PRACTICE BRAWLER
18 HEALTH
20 STAMINA
22 CHAIN INDUCTION
24 DODGE
26 THUNDER STRIKE
28 QUICKNESS
30 AGILE
32 LIGHTNING ROD
35 EVASION
38 PLACATE
41 ?
44 ?
47 ?
49 ?

lv 41 - Elude
lv 44 - Dark Blast/Moonbeam (Soul Mastery)
lv 47 - Shadow Meld (Soul Mastery)
lv 49 - Hasten

Elude is a great Tier 9 which will make you invincible in PvE for its duration, as well as boost your movement speed and recovery. Dark Blast is a decent ST ranged attack, and Moonbeam is a Snipe, which some Stalkers love having. Shadow Meld will give you 15 seconds of invincibility with no crash, great for a quick getaway or when engaging a big mob. And you probably know what Hasten does. :P

I'd personally skip going for the Mu Mastery Ball Lightning. Its recharge is 32 seconds long, and it doesn't have enough damage to warrant the wait.


Too many alts to list.

I agree with the above, except Dark Blast is so much better than Moonbeam.

I concur, but I don't like to preach any more than I have to. Shadow Meld is the important power here.

Shadow Meld is a nice option that I didnt concider. Elude on the other is something that i have thought about and decided I can do without.

If you're softcapped then elude and shadow meld are almost an irrelevance. Hibernate is not the worst option in the world however. The only use for shadow meld is for non positional psi attacks really.

I'm doing ElM/EA and using shadow meld to close my more gaping psi hole.

I am close to the soft cap right now so Shadow Meld is probably not an option either for me. I am still leaning toward BoL for the extra AoE damage but Waterspout and Hibernate does sound like a good combo too. Does Waterspout do knockback?

Waterspout does Knock up, which means that enemies won't go flying unless they se themselves up for it.
