Elec/Fire Brute

Hello, I've been waiting for some time for I7 to come out, and actually decided not to resub until it's out as I knew I won't play much if at all (all my new character ideas involve the I7 powers). Anyway, I gave up and decided to resub so I can check things in the Test Server... But from what I see the Test Server takes time to update things, so it still thinks that my account is inactive.

Anyway, my main idea for a character (it's in fact what I wanted to create when buying the game, only that without the electricity it didn't work well at all) is an Electric Melee/Fiery Aura Brute, it's supposed to be a robot who acts as a giant resistor (resister? English isn't my main language, so I'm not sure).

Anyway, I have a few questions:

1. Do the Electric Melee animations and effects clash with the Fiery Aura? I'm hoping that they won't. I don't care about the annoying noise I heard that they emit.

2. Does Fiery Embrace boost the damage of the Fiery Aura's damaging powers? That would be really nice, though I'll get it anyway (2 build ups every 180 seconds? Even without fire attacks it's worth it).

3. I'm trying to decide on my build, and right now from my main sets the powers I don't think I'll get are Taunt, one of the first powers on the Elec set, Temp' Protection, and perhaps Lightning Clap (not too sure about this one). Now, about Rise of the Phoenix... Should I get it? I guess it could be useful, but that depends on how many times I expect to die, and PvP isn't the main attraction for me in this game. I plan to get 6 powers from the common pools, and 2-3 powers from the Mu Mastery (Elec' Fences and either Mu Lightning or Ball Lightning). If I don't get Rise of the Phoenix or Lightning Clap, then I can get all three non-pet Mu powers.

I hope someone is willing to help. Thanks in advance.

[/ QUOTE ]I strongly suggest getting both L1 attacks, as they will help getting an attack chain and building fury. For build, I'd go with something like:
01) --> Charged Brawl==> Empty(1)
01) --> Fire Shield==> Empty(1)
02) --> Havoc Punch==> Empty(2)
04) --> Jacobs Ladder==> Empty(4)
06) --> Healing Flames==> Empty(6)
08) --> Thunder Strike==> Empty(8)
10) --> Hurdle==> Empty(10)
12) --> Combat Jumping==> Empty(12)
14) --> Super Jump==> Empty(14)
16) --> Plasma Shield==> Empty(16)
18) --> Health==> Empty(18)
20) --> Stamina==> Empty(20)
22) --> Consume==> Empty(22)
24) --> Blazing Aura==> Empty(24)
26) --> Chain Induction==> Empty(26)
28) --> Burn==> Empty(28)
30) --> Build Up==> Empty(30)
32) --> Lightning Rod==> Empty(32)
35) --> Fiery Embrace==> Empty(35)
38) --> Hasten==> Empty(38)
41) --> Electrifying Fences==> Empty(41)
44) --> Ball Lightning==> Empty(44)
47) --> Acrobatics==> Empty(47)
49) --> Rise of the Phoenix==> Empty(49)

I personally think it looks rather good, as good as anything with FA can look anyway

01) --> Charged Braw==> Acc(1) EndRdx(13)

02) --> Havoc Punch==> Acc(2) EndRdx(13) Rechg(15) Dmg(37) Dmg(39) Dmg(40)
04) --> Healing Flames==> Rechg(4) Rechg(5) Rechg(5) Heal(7) Heal(9) Heal(9)
06) --> Jacobs Ladder==> Acc(6) EndRdx(11) Rechg(15) Dmg(36) Dmg(37) Dmg(39)
08) --> Thunder Strike==> Acc(8) EndRdx(11) EndRdx(19) Dmg(29) Dmg(37) Dmg(39)
10) --> Combat Jumping==> Jump(10)

Is my planned build


"Well, they found my diary today.

at the discovery of the eight victims
They're now putting it all together.
Women wrapped in silk
with one leg missing
Eight legs, one body, silk,
spider, brilliant!"

Hmm, so no Lightning Clap? Anyway, I was thinking that once I get all the attacks I plan to (6-7 from Elec if I do take Lightning Clap and if it is considered one, 2 at least from Mu Mastery), there'll be enough that I won't need both starter attacks. If I don't take Lightning Clap then I can just take the first three Mu Mastery attacks, that's about 9 attacks right there.

It does NO damage, and it stops people hitting you, I'm avoiding it
