Those SHOULD be the two top powers in the Electric Melee line. If Lightning Rod isn't listed as your Tier 9 power, something is very, very wrong.

Don't know what you were looking at, but in the power selection screen for my baby Shield/Electric tank, Thunderstrike comes up as the Tier 5 attack, and Lightning Rod as the Tier 9. Mids says the same. The Tier 8 is Lightning Clap, which I think a lot of people skip because like Hand Clap, it does KB and no damage.

OK I didn't think everyone posting on the boards would be posting Lightning Rod in their builds if they couldn't actually take it. I'll take another look at the power tree tonight and see if it's still borked. I'm not going to worry about it though.
Thanks for the replies.
I made a new SD/Electric Melee tank this morning, and I was looking at the power trees. It looked to me like Thunderclap and Lightning Rod were replaced by two different powers in slots 8 and 9. Mids Hero builder has Thunderclap and Lightning Rod listed as the 8 and 9 tier powers for tank electric melee. I was running late for work, so I didn't take time to note exactly what the powers were, but I was really disappointed when it looked like I wouldn't get Lightning Rod.
All the builds I've seen here in the forum show Lightning Rod as the tier 9 Electric melee power...is there something buggy about my baby tank? Has anyone else noticed this when they made an electric melee tank?
Any insights into what might be up would be appreciated.
