Shield//Elec Tanker - Need some help, please :-)

Hey all! I tried looking around for a Shield//Elec build so I could tell where it was all heading but I couldn't seem to find anything.

I would like to know if this specific build is viable in solo//farm and is it decent for teamplay? Also, if you have a build somewhere, I'd be more than happy to take a look at it. I already own a Stone/Stone tank but Shield/Elec seems to be a different approach and I don't want to screw everything up.

I currently have a 50 Shield/Elec tanker that was quite fun to play and still do. The AT and power set to me is quite viable in all areas of PvE. I have no xp with PvP so can't speak in that area. I currently play my tank at 2 x 2 with no real delays in fights. The most fun you will have in my opinion is when you get your TP attacks for great openers. This power set has been the easiest to level and in getting a team. I have no problems in farms and I have only 2 IO sets in it (neither for defense). My suggestion is play the build if you have not started already and if on freedom look me up at toon name charged. sentinel , I will be happy to set a team up or take you on a 50 radio mission and show you what it can do.

Here's my Shield/Electric build; she's still a baby, but I'm having fun with her. I haven't tried farming with her (not my thing) but with Lightning Rod and Shield Charge, Shield/Elec has tons of AoE potential.

My parameters for this build were: Fly instead of CJ/SJ, had to be soft-capped for all positions, and had to be relatively cheap since this character is on a server with no sugar-daddies.

Please note that because tanker SD has such high defense values to begin with, there are many, many different ways to soft-cap, these were just my choices!
