Hi Plight, I have a few questions about the build ^^.
1) What do you suggest? Starting out as a newbie, slowly building this build; or starting out as a PvE elec/elec, and then respec to this one at later lvls?
2) I was wondering, why did you pick both Swift and Hurdle? Don't you think you could get rid of Hurdle and just pick Health, instead?
P.s.
Also, kind of silly questions ;P
a)What is 'mez'? I'm such a newb ;P...
b)Is there any chance you have your build's file uploaded, so we can take a look at it more easily (I'm currently working on 'copying' it to the editor :P)?
c)Sorry for asking a probably stupid question, but what do you mean by 'EndopEXP' and 'NucleEXP'? I know it's written there 'accuracy/mez' and 'accuracy/dmg', but how should I use this in my build? :P
Thanks in advance ^^. I wonder how you people can stand newbs like me.. ;P

I would suggest going mainly ranged to start with, this will mean that you have faster recharge on attacks. Considering defiance is more commonly seen as useful at lower levels then faster recharge is better imo. Until 18 elec lacks a lot of it's control too, so melee range is not that safe to be honest. I wouldn't go melee heavy until you have a few rangeded attacks, also, ball lightning is you main contribution to team overall damage, getting it at 46+ is a PvP choice. I'd say the build is playable as is, but it's not a 1-50 plan, it's definately a 50 respec (to be honest I did 1-50 without stamina and hasten, in teams you get enough buffs, and solo end isn't too much of a problem, especially after 35; with power sink you can solo most missions on most settings non stop).
The whole swift/hurdle/stamina route is mainly used, for me personally, as a way to maximise my travel speen and jump height when suppressed, as well as to avoid hit point regeneration. For the blasters that are capable of control, defiance is a tool that can be used with good effect. With aid self you can easily out heal a blaser with 3 slotted health, so it makes more sense to make yourself faster between targets in melee, and get more out of you defiance inherent (as a note if you are soloing heroic once u have a hold, or 2 holds especially, there will be no need to heal between mobs, you can hover around 30% hp, barring boss spawns, to get a bit of extra damage and not really be at any risk. I don't heal vs my own level spawns usually in 2 or 3 man teams or solo.).
'Mez' is any mesmerising power, so holds, stuns, sleeps, fears etc. Elec/elec/elec has access to 3 holds, 3 stuns, 2 sleeps, 3 KBs (knock backs) and 2 drains (a non mez form of control really).
My build is there for all to see, it will change again soon, LF is going, it doesn't cut the stalker mustard, so I'm putting shocking grasp in and going for a tank killer theme . I'm sure you can copy it, but some things you will want to change, this suits me, not everyone.
EndopExp and NucleExp are Endoplasm (deep internal cytoplasmic fluid) Exposure, and Nucleus Exposure (I think it's nucleus, if not then it's nucleolus, the area of a cell's nucleus where rDNA is abundant and production of new rRNA takes place), anyways, they are Hamidon Enhancements (HOs) which are the equivalent of 2 SOs in one, so acc/mez is +33.3% to both all types of mez a power is capable of and accuracy.
There are many different types of eleec blaster, my best advice would be to start off with 6 slotting charged bolts, lightning bolt and ball lightning, then short circuit and 3 slotting aim and build up. After this (or ASAP after 18), 6 slot tesla cage then work on your melee skills, push your luck with short circuit to learn what you can get away with, then once you are into the 30s drop a ranged power for a melee power (provided you have taken the medicine pool, if you are teaming and have not, then take all your basic blasts and all 3 melees).

Thinking that LF is staying these days. Seems to be cutting said Stalker Mustard better now, although Lightning Clap is calling I can't decide. If I take LC I will have to drop a slot from swift so I can slot it 2 acc 2 recharge (although I would prefer to slot as test, 1 in swift, 2 acc 3 recred in LC). The only other way I can see my build going is to take Thunderous Blast again for PvE and team PvP (it is useful in solo but often I don't feel it would make my game).
Any comments on LF vs LC? Happy to do some testing vs stalkers on test sometime (live build has LF).
On another note Tainted Greek, you still owe me A HO and all HOs welcomely and gratefully received. Hell I'll even pay 10 million influence for one if you are skint as a player or SG . Never hurts to ask.

only bit really i was concerned of was the lateness of stam :/
i mean 30? o.O
mind u each to they're own :S
Rarely go below Siren's Call TBH, and rarely I go there. I was mainly aiming for decent functionality at 30 and almost full melee functionality at 38. 25 wise I can't remember what I was aiming for, although I'm gonna guess it was serious melee, drain and basic hold potential as most 25s are squishy as hell regardless of AT. I wouldn't recommend trying the build from 1-50, although you can run pretty much any build that way, I did it without any of the OTT minmaxing, if anything I was pushed to the ranged blastroller side of things. Later on I got into what I called the regen blaptroller (aid self and drains, 3 holds pre ED with intimidate). Now I'm pretty gimped at range unless I'm 47+
