Electricity blasters do get a crackly hands effect when they're attacking, it looks really quite good. However if it was someone who was just standing about what you probably saw was someone with an aura (you can get these at level 30 - there's various ones and one gives electricity hands - they don't give you any special powers, they're just there for the look). The "crackly effect" from the electricity attacks only lasts a short while - it's unlikely anyone standing about would have it active. Doesn't change the fact the sets looks good though - especially the secondary, jumping in the air and landing two fully charged fists on something's head looks so damn powerful. 
Yup most probably an electrical aura. Combined with Charged Armour from the auxiliary pools, you get a really nice effect.

As I am not sure about what kind of glow you are talking about it could have been hasten. Many people have hasten.
I'm an energy/energy blaster and if i click a melee power with no target selected my hands will glow red for quite some time after.So i suppose if he was an /elec blaster and he did the same then his hands would go all electric like.
Thats what I reckon your on about and if it is then all you need to do is choose a melee power for your character

Somewhat dissapointingly, the electricity manipulation powers don't do that.

Hi,
Once saw a blaster-fellow (I think) standing at Atlas, with his hands "glowing" electrically. Since I am new to the game and don't know half of the differens powers in the game, I was wondering what this "glow" on his hands is? It might be a silly question, but I found it to be so cool, and it inspired me to make an elec/elec blaster.
But what power is that? If I'm not high on something...coz such a power do excist right?
Edit: Not that I am sure that it was even an elec/elect blaster that I saw back then. But it kindda seemed most natural to me. Educate me
