I have a 50 El/WP brute. LOVE IT. Wp has darn good survivability, and Thunderstrike and Lightning Rod are good Aoe's and just plain fun to watch.
Be warned...your single target damage will SUUUUUUUUUUUCK. It's not terribad...but with procs, and damage bonuses from sets, and during the 10 second boost from Build Up, full rage bar, Havoc Punch and Chain Induction are between 200-300. Now I have enough global recharge that Thunderstrike and Lightning Rod are up pretty quick, and they dish 300-600 each.
Once you get a bit of recharge and damage boosts, Thunderstrike will be your hardest ST hitter, and the aoe is an oddball, it's aoe factor radiates from your target, not you.
Sounds good that definetly improves my want to make one.
As long as you're prepaired to slug it out with bosses for a few seconds, you should like it. Mows down minions and LT's quick. I didn't get any of the patron pools, one of them would most likely help with ST damage though, but I'm happy with what I have.
Totally fine with me.
I took charged brawl and havok punch early, then took thunderstrike as soon as it was available, in between and after concentrated on the WP powers till I hit about 35, then respec'd, dropped what I didn't need/want. I don't recommend Jacobs Ladder personally, but other people swear by it, so if you have a respec or two, try all the powers out and see what you like.
Alright, so i was thinking about making a Electric melee/WP. I don't have any specifics as to what i am getting power wise. I just want to know if it has potential.
