No one critiqued your build, but my first question would be what are you hoping to do with this build?|

Range? ST? AoE? Control? Blapping? Sapping?
My E3 is a Sapper/AoE with light control and I look at your build and see power after power that I would never take, but you might have an entirely different goal.

Have you tried Lightning Field for keeping the npcs recovery down? End Target -2% with each tick.

It can be tons of fun and you don't see too many toons playing sapper. I use Short Circuit and Power Sink then start firing off my blasts, when I don't have my nuke up. It can be dangerous though, because I can't completely drain a group with just one shot, I need both SC and PS and that can give the enemy a chance to hit HARD. Still, it is good clean fun. |
He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.
In my experience Lightning Field doesn't tick fast enough to be used for flooring enemy endurance. Every two seconds not 'nuff.
Lightning field isn't good for initially flooring mobs, but once you've floored them with SC and PS if you stay in LF range and have a couple endmods slotted into it they should stay pretty well floored. Another power that is underrated for putting an endmod or two into is ball lightning. It also have a -Recovery aspect to it and since you're already standing there doing AoE with SC and LF to drain adding a little to BL only helps in that regard. All that combined you can keep mobs drained and keep the AoE damage ticking.

Elec ^ 3 is ridiculously awesome, and is probably going to always remain my favorite blaster. Lots of aoe, control, damage. Its also thematically one of the only power sets that ACTUALLY compliments eachother perfectly. Unlike fire/fire for example. Fire blast is all damage, so is fire manipuation, whereas due to fire blast lacking mitigation you'd be better off pairing it with something like /ice or /dev.
Elec/Elec/Elec however, fits perfectly. Elec manipulation has the best ST attacks to make up for the fact that elec blasts lacks a 3rd tier ST blast. Static discharge adds a 3rd aoe attack to make your blaster beastly at killing mobs. Shocking grasp adds another hold to stack with tesla cage on bosses, as does later shocking bolt. Obviously power sink + short circuit lets you drain mobs fully.
Do it, love it.

I have a love/hate relationship with my Elec^3 Blapper. While I love his concept and the electricity powers themselves, I hate how long I get rooted when trying to drain a spawn of enemies solo. By the time I get off my drain, I am either dead or half dead. It's really annoying >_<. he is great on teams though the endurance drain really adds a lot to survivability of your group. here build i am aiming for once hits decided go with fighting pool instead medicine just because feel tough would be form proactive mitigation while aid self reactive which less reliable.>
