Hello there!

I was wondering if i could get some pointers on either or both of these sets. I am not looking for a full blown build, just mabye some powers to stay away from and must-have's. Also some help on what to aim for with WP (ie: regen or max hp or res)

Thanks!!

By EM do you mean electrical melee or energy melee?

If its electric melee, you want to avoid Charged brawl, taunt, lightning clap. For WP, I usually avoid resurgence, and strength of will, as wakies are everywhere and strength of will is like popping a break free and an orange.

I highly reccomend the fighting pool to supplement defenses, and honestly almost reccomend leadership for maneuvers, defense is a huge boon to a WP toon, as WP is built to take hits and regen them, and defense lets you regen while taking fewer hits. Defense is the key to surviving a bad alpha as WP. Aid self and aid other aren't terrible ideas either, as your regen caps at a certain amount and if you take too much damage at the outset you can find yourself just not regening enough damage to keep yourself alive, where aid self with two heals and an interrupt IO can be a way to restore a bit of health, and extra defenses help out alot with that.

If you mean energy melee/WP, reroll, as that combo has no AoE, mediocre ST with plenty of space for interrupts, and absolutely no survivability. Leveling one enemy at a time is the aboslute worst thing you could ever do to yourself, and higher level content will kick your *** repeatedly.
