I like it too, but I'm unsure whether it'd be better as a tank or scrapper..

And to the OP, I played a Elm/SD to lvl 5 myself and had to stop, It already ruined playing on live for me atm. I've never wanted to play a character more then I do my Elm/Shield Scrapper.

I luckily got in on a level bump up to 35. My Elec/Willpower scrapper was a freaking beast. The recharge times on the basic attacks left a little to be desired and lining up that cone was a pain, but the raw damage output was terrific and my survivability was lovely. Recharge can be dealt with via proper slotting (I was using SOs).
I'm definitely going with this combo once we go live. It's very satisfying.

See, I found Elec Melee's damage and recharge not to be that great.|

ST damage chain (with SOs) wasn't all that. And with just SOs, the AOEs didn't come up often either.
Now, when LR, TS, and JL where all ready to go, it was very nice, for AOE
But again, when all attacks where slotted 2 ACC/3 DMG/1 RCH...I was always waiting on an attack to recharge.And the single target damage wasn't "Oooo wow!" not that I was expecting it too, but I was hoping the attacks would recharge faster.
That said, I still love the set
It's just in need of work imo.

I'm happy we got another exotic damage dealer. Now we have fire, NE, and energy with a little bit of toxic.

I ran into the same issue. I soloed azura's missions with my elec/regen with the slider set to +2 levels, team of 2, and bosses. (+2s are hard at that level and no slots) On my DB/elec, I got on a sewer team then did radios in KR and did the atlas park bank mission. After both experiences, I said, "ok, I can't play this alt anymore". |

I have an elec/sd brute who's deadly. I also have an elec/wp brute. I won't be making scrapper versions even though I'd really really like to.
I've rolled up a Electrical Melee/Dark Armor Scrapper. Even though I've always felt that Dark Armor wasn't the set for me, with power customization I was able to come up with a clever concept of coloring both sets to look like Nictus powers.

Has anyone that has tested electric melee on the test server noticed if they fixed the problem with damage procs in the AOE powers?
I also don't really wanna play live since i tried out elec/elec. Man, I can't wait for a solid white lighting bolt coming out of nowhere into the middle of a group then hittin thunder clap...
Made a nrg/nrg brute to tide me over I guess, and it is kinda fun so far. But jesus does he need stamina.
The healing power seems like, just from looking at it on paper, seems like it will be really good, and might be changed before live, but that is just looking at it. Boosts regen and end recovery as well as heals? Seems too good to be true. And my 3 50 scraps, /sr /inv and /regen, this would be my first straight resist scrap, so we'll see how long i can deal with getting hit a lot, and not having a bunch of heals to choose from. /inv is mostly resist, but the def is definatly there as well.
I really can't wait for elec/ and hope nrg/ is not far behind it. I'm just glad we get an elemental set that doesn't hve a bunch of swords that we already have.
now that i think about it, after looking at rttc and a t9 that has a 3 minute down time outta the box, the heal is fine
I knew i was going to make an elec melee scrapper as soon as it became available but oh boy does it feel good! Im only level 5 on the test server on it and i think im in love, honestly i do!
Not sure if its the custom colours, the endurance draining, the increased difficulty or whatnot but its just . . . . . beautiful!!!
Thanks devs for giving us this!
