Looking for an updated Elec/Elec guide...

Hi all, as the title says, I've been looking all over for a guide that wasn't written years ago for a different game than we have now...

Not having much luck. Trying to respec this ancient elec/elec brute I've had laying for ages because I couldn't seem to get him to work, and wasn't really in the position at the time to keep up with all the changes.

Can anyone help me out? Post me a good build for an elec/elec that isn't made out of purps but is still playable?

Thanks much in advance.

I don't think there are currently any updated Elec/Elec guides out there. However I can try to help you with a build if you can tell me what your general aims are. Survivability, recharge, farming, Strike Forces?

No recent guides but we had two good threads in the past couple weeks.

Mine is here. And Dark Jeremy's is here. There were I think three others too.

Because I'm a retard, I put my response in the wrong thread. So, again, I guess I was shooting for a survivable farm brute. Need infamy and have a lot of hungry alt mouths to feed. That and I've just always loved the concept, but never had the huge amounts of infamy you'd need to build a good one.

I mentioned in my moron post in the wrong thread that I don't see a build that reaches the caps for resist or defense. Is that just not doable for a brute or just an elec brute?

Just FYI, while getting the money together to finish slotting out my elec/elec as listed in the build I linked above, I have ~6% defenses and woefully underslotted resists. And I can farm +0/x8 Rikti endlessly. It just depends on who you choose to farm. Seriously, I'm still using what I labeled as my "junk" build and I can do rikti at x8.

With /elec rikti are your victims of choice and it is stupidly easy to give them the beat down. Don't do Romans, and I dislike nemesis due to the stacked vengeances. But I can also ravage the rocks in DE missions that people say are not good to farm because of the cairns. If I need tickets I customized a banished pantheon mission I can solo at +1/x8 also. I assume that with the upgraded build I'll be able to farm a much wider variety of enemies and I'll have a higher damage output to boot.

Also, with a farmer you don't need to cap defense or resist because you're chugging down insps like 4 or 5 per spawn. All you gotta be is within one small of the cap and the infinite supply o insps from your kills will take care of the rest.

If you want a good all around farmer/taskforcer then you want fire/shield. But it's spendy to build into top notch performance.
