Electric Armor

How is Electic going to differ from fiery armor? Lightning reflexes seems nice and the tier 9 is even usable but other then that both are res based power sets? I have to admit my ignorance here.

Fire's resistence to everything but fire is pretty low...Energy has all around mid range res with the ability to cap energy. Not to mention at fire's conception it didn't have -rec resistence built into temp protection. Energy also has psy and endurance drain protection. Something not really that commonly found in a set.

So with the power change, what powers in elec are not needed? Seems like we want em all, even the tier 9 out of this set.

You can more then likely skip Power Surge because with proper slotting you'll have your resistances pretty high.

pretty much. but you can always skip the dmg aura if you dont want the extra dmg and attention. I did that with my fire/fire scrapper. Dont see me doing that with any /ela i make though. Sigh... yet another set with a tight build. Im still tripping on how one power has changed many people's view on a set. Myself included. That one thing that was wrong with the would be good set was a big one thing wrong. Now about that toxic hole...

Lol ya. I am thinking of pairing Katana with Ele for the def buff. Dark seems like a great one also. -acc in every attack, a self heal in the DPS chain being backed up with the new power, double end drain (although dark consumption may be able to be skipped now for an auto hit end drain that has a much better recharge)

Choices, choices.

edit: taking my mistake out for posterity

I jut noticed lighting reflexes allows a fly or run while quickness in SR only lets run.
SR boosts flying as well last I knew.
