White Lightning (Kat/Elec)

Posted

I've always wanted Electric for Scraps after the first time I saw Lightning Rod...however after a while Electric Melee wasn't that big a deal anymore, it was elec armor.

So naturally when I heard Elec was coming I've been dieing to make one.

At first I though, Ooh, Spines/Elec...but then I was debating whether or not it would become the new Fotm, and I try and steer away from those, going a similar but not the exact thing. Then I thought Katana. I've had a Katana/Regen before, but didn't care for all that clicky stuff, but Elec is more of a Toggle and Go, and I heard that Lightning Field is a good end drainer...
Anyways here's my thought up build, tell me what you think...

Edit: Shoot, forgot to mention that this was a more geared towards Arena, hence the 2 CPs AND Powersink. My pve version would take the taunt and epic out, and put in super speed, aid other-aid self, and Lotus Drops...

I doubt scrapper ELA will have CP.

(I'm wondering if brutes will keep it as well. It could be an opportunity to kill two birds with one stone and address the balance concerns many brutes players have about ELA.)

...If only it did, that would be sweet, with enough rech, you'd have a "Perma" CP Effect on you.

But, if its not there, what would replace it? That's the thing, I can't think of anything...

Someone on the brute thread sugested power boost. Makes sense to me.

knowing the dev's, i'm guessing it wont be anything all that useful such as a self heal or build up ... i'm thinking it'll be something like ... Defibralate - self rez


 

Posted

...ASelf Heal in Electric Armor would make all the other ATs jealous...

btw, does the build code work? I did the whole transfer each power 1 by one into the set through mids and I know it doesn't work with the Link Build...

Should I post the readable version?

It would be pretty cool if they gave /Electric Knock Back protection or a self heal, but I think I'm dreaming.

/Electric as Knock back protection it is in Grounded

[/ QUOTE ]

Exactly. I do recommend one KB IO slotted in grounded for additional KB resistance when you aren't...grounded. Jumping up in the air or even activating Lightning Rod (if you were to go that route) often leaves you porting into the enemies on your back.

As to the OP's build:

1) You won't need conserve power. Power Sink is just that good.
2) Aid Self will make you happier at times. Fire it after a fight.
3) Power Surge is cool to look at but nearly wasted on a scrapper. Taking tough would give you ~60% S/L, meaning a single sturdy would cap your S/L damage. I also loathe the crash, but a scrapper isn't going rip his hair out watching the fury bar drop while I'm resting waiting for my HP/End to recover.
4) Get tough. Weave if you want a LOTG 7.5 mule.

Although I do like defensive sets on electric armor, I have a feeling that divine avalanche will be good enough to provide enough defense. If not, there's at least one spot in your build you can use obliteration. Endurance is not an issue, come level 35. Now health... (well, that's why I'm busy in the brute boards)

I'm speaking heresy, I know. Conserve Power is useless on an electric scrapper.

Lightning Field is a good end drainer...

[/ QUOTE ]

Powersink is good for draining endurance. Lightning Field is a source of damage first, then endurance drain. If you frankenslot it: Scir acc/dam/end, dam/end, multistrike acc/dam/end, dam/end, and throw in an end mod IO, you'll be happier than slotting for end mod. In my studies, Lightning Field does a very impressive amount of AoE damage. It won't kill anything outright, but it will let you focus on the hard target while you slowly drain anything squishy around you so a quick slice drops them.

edit 2: I said brute not scrapper by mistake.
*runs back to brute boards*

Stamina + PS + some ENDRED slotting = no need for CP.

I'd say grab Tough/Weave + Aid Self, and go for +DEF &amp; +RCH IO bonuses.
