Elec was fairly good pre-I13... post I13, not so much. Go /EM or /Dev (or /MM if you're feeling adventurous).

I know /EM for Boost Range and TF, but why the other two you listed?
Dev has Targeting Drone, Cloaking Device, Caltrops (useful for keeping Stalkers off you) and Web Grenade, and Mental has Scare, Drain Psyche, and Telekinetic Thrust.

/elec aint the best but I run it on one of my blasters because I already had him made and he's fun to play he's energy/elec which is not FOTM of even close but performs very well for me in zones.
Only advice i can give ya for /elec is slot the placate proc in Havoc punch.

Slotted up it's a 4-6 second terrorize, basically a free kill on a squishy if you can put out enough damage once they're feared.

Melee damage on a blaster was destroyed in I13. It serves zero purpose now, since you can do basically the same damage from range. This completely killed /elec, since melee damage was all it had going for it.
If you don't want /EM, I think /dev is the only choice. It's also excellent, mainly because of the webnade spam. /MM is #3, but it's very far behind the first 2.
Well that sucks.. damn I wish they would've left PvP alone.

FITE CLUB SUN.
lol caps filter.
Duel me.
I will work on my sig pic more when I have time.
I have a fire/em that I think is so so in PvP atm. I hate that my secondary doesnt really benefit my primary as much as it would if Id taken rad, psi etc. Powerboosted rad seems like a nice idea : )
I also have a fire/devices that I used to be solid with in zones, but havent pvpd with much in ages. I havent found it very good post i13. Any suggestions? Caltrops and webnade I see are must haves. Targeting drone obviously as well. Any other must haves in the secondary? The stealth?
I would personally go with concealment for phase...so the cloaking device would be useless. Fire/dev is very good though. Just spam flares, blast, and webnade, and things die.
Also, while PB'd rad blasts might sound good, in reality, it's probably overkill. A blaster can already hit pretty much anything, and rad already has a big -def debuff, so making it bigger with PB really won't make THAT much difference. Kind of like peeing in the ocean 
/em is mostly about boost range, and that helps fire as much as anything.
You take power boost on rad/em for the boosted cosmic burst stun.
For troller/dom holds, PB might make a noticeable difference. But boosting something with a 2 second base duration won't make much difference. A 3-4 sec stun vs a 5-6 sec stun is not really relevant, imo.
Sure, it does give PB at least some use, but it's still not really worth the power pick.

I did, its great for stalkers. It's saved me countless times from AS. In fact it saved me in SC yesterday from a AS kill shot by D I V I N E. I also use it for the bad stalkers that think stacked stealth is enough to keep them safe while they stand still. Not as useful as caltrops but with Aim and BU popped its damn close.

I'm continuing to level this toon. Not sure why except that he's a lot of fun on PvE teams, lol.
I was wondering how this build might do in RV. I know /EM is the favorite, but Elec Manipulation looks like it could do some good damage. Let me know what y'all think and if it's considered viable post i13, is there anything I should definitely change? I think my KB protection might be a little low? Thanks
