It's worth it, played my dark/elec as totally awesome debuffer/drainer that way. Power Mastery with Power Build Up FTW!
I just went for Short Circuit really on my Kin/Elec. Once I get IOs and Fulcrum Shift to boost my damage I reckon Ball Lightning could take some too. Single targets I'm not so sure of, I've Transference for single-target draining.
With Power Build Up its certainly worth it later on. Whats your primary?
I think Short circuit and Power Sink are the 2 powers most worth slotting with end mods. I tried with some of my other attacks bt the effect wasn't nearly so good.
Yeh have to agree short circuit is the only power really worth fully slotting for end mods i use it with aim and power boost and it totaly drains +2 grps end.
Would agree here too. Short Circuit, Thunderous Blast and the snipe are the only powers that have a worthwhile Endurance Drain component to them, and of those Short Circuit is the traditional draining tool.
I toyed with the idea of putting EndMod SOs in my attacks on my Sonic/Elec Defender, including the Elec Epic ST immob... but it came down to just Short Circuit and Power Sink (Elec Epic), and currently it's just Short Circuit and Power Boost (Power Epic). I can keep mobs of +3/+4s fully drained with just Short Circuit, and I can halt recovery on nearly anything short of an AV with just Tesla Cage.
at the moment i have power boosted short circuit but thinking of getting power sink/ short circuit combo; which is better?
Power Sink is great for general PvE since it's AutoHit and you'll virtually never run out of endurance with it... but Short Circuit drains considerably more endurance and has a larger radius. Power Build Up + Short Circuit can one-shot-drain most mobs up to +3s. Short Circuit + Power Sink drains slightly less endurance and is longer to cast, but Power Sink is up twice as often as Power Build Up.
The other thing to consider is that Short Circuit "hits" its targets at the very start of its animation, but Power Sink hits halfway through. You really need a target to be stationary for several seconds to successfully hit and drain it with Power Sink, so Short Circuit is better for moving targets or in PvP.
Hello,
I'm currently playing a level 30 /electric defender and I'm considering slotting my damaging electric powers with EndMods. Has anyone done this recently and was it worth it?
I figure I'm not going to wow anyone with the damage so concentrating on the secondary effect might be worth it.
I've got the initial blast, ball lightning and zapp to consider. I'm planning to slot up short circuit with EndMods anyway and I'll focus on the hold / recharge in tesla cage.
Let me know your thoughts.
Cheers,
Mike.
