Looks solid for Dark/Elec. I find I only need to slot IOs once and they provide better bonusses than SOs - but others prefer SOs. Also Elec only really shines when you've got a second source of electrical damage - otherwise you aren't going to be flattening your target's end (and end drain on mobs is pretty much all or nothing) and doesn't contain a high damage single target attack, making it weak unless backed up with more electricity.

In short, if for thematic reasons you want a Dark/Electrical defender using SOs that's not a bad way of doing it. But /Electric is IMO a bad plan. If you want to solo and prevent the foes hitting back, your best bet is probably /Ice (/Psi isn't bad either) whereas for AoE foe can't hit back goodness, your best is probably /dark (and stack the tohit debuffs).

Hi there. It looks like a solid build for Dark/Elec to me too. The only advice I would give is consider dropping Aim for Petrifying Gaze earlier on in the build. Two Mag3 holds means you can keep a couple of Lietenants out of the battle or stack them on a Boss.

Also, you will be team reliant with Dark/Elec. I got mine into the 30s and it is possible to solo, especially when you have Fluffy and Sparky working together but it can be slow going. Good luck.

Well It's kindo thematic the elec thing... Always wanted to see what it would be like to have two pets as a defender, so that won't change.

Anyways, I'll see what I can do about that second hold.

Thanks
