A little help with my EM/ELA Build Please

Hi guys, this is the first time I've made a build from scratch and I've found it extremely hard. It's very hard to decide which skills to take and what I'd be missing out on if I took it!

My character is currently level 10 and has followed this build so far. I really would appreciate some advice.

This is where I'm coming from with the build:

-Ultimately it will be a PvP build
-I'm going to take these skills as I have them written, I'm not going to respec into this. So it needs to be fairly viable for solo PvE (I want to save the respecs in case I really need them later)

I've only done it up to 38 so far (ie Warburg)

Have I gimped myself in some of the choices I've made? Any order discrepancies?

Like I said, I'm only level 10, and the skills and enhancements I've taken so far are fairly generic, so I can easily change it :-)

Thanks in advance!

Heya

Here are the things I would do different from you.

I would get static shield earlier, as early as possible after 20 actually. Reason for this is every time you get held, sleept or something else your armors will detoggle. After 20 the mobs start to hit you alot with stuff like that so try to switch lightning reflexes for static. The 20% recharge bonus can wait, being held by every mob group and every boss is a pain.

I would skip the slots in health all togheter, just the one green in there since the gain is less than what you can get from other powers. Would 6 slot aid self and put a recharge in there in addition to what you got now. Hasten could use the other slot so you get max recharge bonus on it.

You lack real vertical movement on this build. For pvp you really need to be able to move fast and I would change superspeed to superjump myself. Thats a matter of taste though but nothing is so easy to run from as a pure super speeder. Just go up and hes gone. You got hurdle and CJ but that usually isnt enough I have found.

Thanks a lot for your advice, those are a lot of the things I was debating in my mind!

I guess I'm getting Hasten AND Combat Jumping, so I still could go either way and I guess Super Jump is a lot more versatile. Also, hasten is still extremely useful.

I'll swap Lightning Reflexes and Static Shield and sort out the slotting on Health.

Thanks :-)
