ELM Attack Chain Help
hey galvin..me again...lol
so heres what i do with my ELM...i start off running into a crowd and hit BU..then i thunderstrike(they fall down) then LR(they fall down and knocks any one that didnt get hit with TS)...then i dark obliterate..and by that time TS has recharged and i TS again and they fall down, usually at this point if its just Lieuts/minions (like in my tix farm) they are dead and i run to next mob. If there are bosses then they are close to dying and ill finish them off with gloom,havoc punch,sands of mu (if u have it), and then TS again. and rech around 130-135 is good enough
er..i meant Gavin* lol
also i throw in a powersink and it kinda stuns them for a sec, i kinda use that as a weapon too and the end drain/end recov is just awesome, my fav power in the game i think
I seem to be lacking either the damage or the accuracy. As I went Leviathan, I open with the -res cone, then buildup and LR into the middle, then TS I find someone with a lot of HP and Chain induction. then I use single-target attacks punctuated by the ocasional TS. Usually takes 2 LRs and 4 TSs with a metric sh#$%-ton of single target attacks to clear a +0x6 spawn.

i never used leviathan but i really enjoy soul on my elec/elec. the dark obliteration is a nice aoe addition and i find my self using it alot in my attack chain with BU. I skipped jacobs latter and chain induction, both powers just piss me off and i had no room for them. I posted my latest build on the other thread..that one has 45 acc. i will say that ELM isnt very high damage, so fighting enemies +1 and up takes a while.
I run +0/8 with no bosses on my tix farm and i clear the map in 14 minutes/tix cap. i really have np killing, maybe try the -res cone(if thats what u want to keep)/BU/TS/LR/whatever u got next/TS/and by this time i power sink and/or energize and use havoc/gloom till TS and Dark obliteration is rech. But by then the mob is dead so i move on and repeat.

oh i hear ya there..i think thats a great idea and i do that as well to maximize my aoes. Nothing worse or more stupid than wasting A BU/LR (and the amount of rech time it took) to finish off a few guys in a mob. i just run to nearby mob and they follow.
So right now, once the AoE's have settled and I'm cleaning up bosses, I rely on charged brawl, havok punch, charged brawl, lightning induction, charged brawl, brawl, charged brawl, havok punch
And yes I know I really ought to do that in a different order.
I'm looking to pick up gloom and get brawl out completely. What kind of recharge do I need to get a seemless ST-chain? I'm ok with short pauses while haste is down (not going for perma haste). I really despise Jacob's ladder but I will probably pick it up as well. So I understand the ideal is something like:
Gloom-charged brawl-chain induction-charged brawl-Jacob's Ladder-charged brawl-gloom.
What recharge do I need to build for in each of those attacks to be seemless? Or do I need to add havock punch to get it off?
