I think the reason there aren't any electric guides, or at least very few, is because it might be found at the Defender's forum, although the difference between Def and Corr is big.

Ya its wierd i dont see anything about electric in the corr guide or defender guide its almost like it doesnt exist.
That's weird! Though, I must admit I haven't seen many (close to none, in fact) electric corrs around. Sad, it's a cool set I think.

The best advice for making an Elec/ Corr is: Don't
I've tried quite a few times to get an electric corruptor going, but the damage always seems to get in the way (i.e. lack there of). The secondary effect of electric seems nice on paper (-END\-END recovery), but it seems like an awful lot of work to really make that work as an effective secondary effect..especially early on. Most other primaries have a useful secondary effect (slows, -def, -res, more damage, kb, -tohit) right out of the gate. Low damage + -END as a secondary effect really doesn't do much...at least for me personally. I will keep trying eventually though...as I really want an elec\dark corruptor, but it's a really....really slow road so far and it's actually quite painful (could be my playstyle though).
So that's probably why...at least that's what I've chalked it up to when I've gone and looked for a guide for electric corrupting.

Pretty and Strong - Do you really have to ask?
There aren't many guides because it's not a very good set. Since ED got rid of 6-slotted Short Circuit endurance crashing bosses and the pet nerf got rid of a swarm of zappy pets following you to make up for the lack of a big damage power, it doesn't have anything going for it.
The distinguishing features are unreliable end drain (30-40% for most powers), a summonable pet that's basically walking random damage, and no missing third attack - nothing equivalent to Blaze or Bitter Ice Blast. Every other set has an advantage over it in damage and secondary effects unless you're fighting things that are vulnerable to energy damage.
Long story short, Elec is an RP or concept set. If you get a -lot- of elec characters together, you can piece together enough end drain to keep packs from fighting back, but unless you're part of an Elec superteam this is more trouble than it's worth.
I've tried Elec/Rad Corr and he is stuck at lvl 29. I can't decide if it's Elec that I don't like or Radiation. I am leaning towards Rad because I don't like babysit anchor(s).
I think Elec is ok. Its secondary effect is pretty much non-existent unless you have a secondary to back it up (Kin's Transfusion).
And since Volt S pet doesn't get buffs from your set bonuses or other buffs, the only way to make its damage better is with resistance debuff. In fact, I made Elec/Rad specifically because I COULD increase VS's firing rate with end recovery sets but that's nerfed already. I don't think I can enjoy this set as much as I used to. I used to love watching it kill because it could shoot pretty fast. Now it's just average at best.. . borderline weak.
I think VS's advantage is that you can activate other powers while it's doing extra damage for you. This makes a bit sense on Dominator as Dom has a lot of powers to use (controls and attacks). VS's damage output is just gravy.
On Corruptor, you really only have two main ST attack (4s and 8s) and the rest is aoe or a hold. You should pick a secondary that demands a lot of action so you can take advantage of your VS (that doesn't require your activation except in the beginning). That's how I view VS.
What's left is to normalize all Assassin Strikes and improve Stalker's old sets (Claw, MA and EM)! You don't need to bring back the missing PbAoE attack. You just need to make the existing ones better! For example, make Slice a WIDER and LONGER cone.
Well electric will prob do fine with me i only AE now do to my lack of time i can spend on the game per day, im just wondering whats the best Secondary.
I am, the quite proud owner of two elec/ corrs, although, at this point im trapped in the PvP mindset as PvE bores me half to death.
I rolled an elec/therm. Contrary to common belief, against most toons, they are horrible if you cant play them. You will never beat a competant mind/rad troller.
I rolled an Elec/Pain. I Love him.
Apoc and glad jav in charged bolts, 4 devastation 2 glad jav, proc included, in lightning bolts. Add the procs to my WoP, and i often outdamage other primaries.
Been on a BSF with a elec/kin corr that could keep reichsman sapped dry most of the time.
Man Electric/Kin sounds cool i think ill make one. At least what i dont do in damage, ill helping the team with utility. Not sure how i would slot this its gonna take some work. If anyone has a Electric/Kin build they would like to share that would be awesome.
Thanx for all the posts guys.
Hey all was wondering why there isnt any threads about electic builds is it broken or somthing if not what is a good secondary for electric?
