Brute w/ SS/Elec Arm question

I just created my first brute last night and I love it! The damage he does is sick. My question is, is Elec. Arm. a decent secondary? What powers can I skip in the set? I am a team player, I dislike soloinng.

I skipped grounded in my build. Knock Back protection can be had from IOs, immobilize protection is granted in Combat Jumping (which let's you socket a Kismet), and ELA exceeds 100% endurance/recovery resistance with just Static Shield.

The only true value to the skill in my build is the 7.5% negative energy resistance.

I'd have to go with Cynical on this... Though Power Surge is awesome when it is up, and look awesome with color changes (did you know there's a face in there?) it can be skipped. My ss/elec has had its ups and downs, but now i've gotten to the point where it's all good. Mainly from building to get smash/lethal defense with IOs as well as a lot of regen. but just tough it out until you get power sink (i don't know how energize does while leveling - maybe that'll be just as good at that level)

"What are you skipping them for?" is a question that might be in need of asking.


He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.
