Stone Melee works quite well with Elec Armor if only because Elec Armor allows you to virtually ignore the endurance costs. Of course, you can't do so immediately. You've got to actually wait until you get to a high enough level to be throwing out Power Sink every spawn, but, once you get there, you should never have problems with endurance ever again.

power sink seems a long way off for me, keep running outta end when i do mishs, been running on -1 lvl 2x minions, spose things might get easier when i get access to DOs and SOs

Yeah... If you're complaining about your endurance before DOs and SOs, then you're right up there with everyone else. The only builds that don't have some kind of endurance woes pre-20/22 are */Regen Scrappers because they get super early Quick Recovery and incredibly low endurance costs otherwise.

I made a Stone/Mace Tanker... and lets just say I have to juggle which toggles stay on so that he doesn't faceplant when they drop... Not to mention just standing around in a spawn once and awhile. But, I know it will get better when I hit 12, and even better once 20 and then 22 roll around. Hang in there, that combo should be awesome post 22 and more so after [Power Sink].
thanks, yeah, i'm gonna stick with it, i just thought i might be doing something wrong, cause i was always going end up during fights.

Remember to turn off any armors that aren't needed, and try not to overkill things at low levels, before you get the endurance management tools. What I mean is don't use Stone Hammer if Stone Fists will kill the enemy. Trade a little green bar for blue if you're in a bad situation in regards to endurance. Slow down on the attacking, and only use the attacks you need to take down the enemy.

trust me..i made a elec/sm tank as well...
get powersink to help with your end issues will help hugely
by the time you hit the 40s you can pick up physical perfection as well if you still have issues
you also get conserve power as a choice in your app's so dont worry..its just at low lvls your gonna have issues...we ALL do.
I went with stone melee since I thought it would help cover some of electrics short comings. So far at 29 it seems to work just fine. Between Fault knocking them down, Power Sink to refill my endurance and after two applications in 30 seconds to drain everything, and Energize to refill health he is holding his own just fine. Did a TF the other night with a bunch of 30-50s and he was standing long after everyone else was down when we ran into too many groups.
The funny thing was one of the scrappers was surprised at how much damage I was doing, I dont have the heart to tell him I only had two attacks from my secondary and the other 5 attacks were temp powers or longevity bonus attacks, two sands of mu when you are in the middle of large mob are bound to hit a few villians. Wish I could get 3 or 4 versions of that power.

Another thing you might wanna consider is using brawl since it now has no end cost and will help keep that extra bit of damage comin in.I have an Ice/Fire Tank that i'm considering re-rolling and that is what I do when i'm severly low on end.
I've been having a lot of fun with my electric/ice tank, currently at level 14. Lightning Field and Frost = woo hoo. dave p has an interesting ice melee guide here.

Wait a Minute if brawl has no endurance cost it might be worth slotting up is that true?

I went Electric/SS loving him so far. The hasten/rage endurance crashes mean nothing once you get power sink and Energizes reduce endurance to all is nice too 
I plan on not taking power surge .. I have it on my EM/ELectric brute, but for the tank I can hardly see myself using it. Loving the combination so far

Yeah this is exactly the way I am going. I am going to level him like crazy during 2xp weekend.
The hard things I can do--- The impossible just take a little bit longer.

I just started a Elect/Fire. He's only level 5 so far but already I can see greatness in him. Can't wait 'til he's in hes 30s
