kat/ela?
Yea so far the Kat\Ela is looking to be a very tight build, I'm going with stamina and fighting so I'm going to skip on a travel power and just go with sprint+hurdle+ninja run. From reading a lot of the replys here I can almost see the wheels turning as people think about builds and concepts.

If you're less worried about AOE, you could skip the Cone, PBAOE, and Taunt, and possibly DA if you have enough Recharge.
In my own experience with Electric Armor, I prefere to slot Lightning Field with ENDMOD to help keep the end bars of enemies drained with the use of Power Sink, over damage.
So, it's a possible way to build.
However, I LOVE Katana's PBAOE attack (Lotus Drops) because I just love the animation. So I find it hard to passup the attack.
That said, I've made purely single target focused toons, and it hasn't bothered me with soloing or teaming. Even if PvE is more about AOE.

Yeah, I'm assuming fairly extreme levels of recharge to run the very best possible chains. I certainly wouldn't be surpised if Claws is better at more down-to-earth levels. I'll open the new window... yeah, for basic slotting, Bill has Claws at the top for Scrappers.
I'm pretty sure you could do a Dual Blades/Electric Armor without Stamina. Haven't tried it, but it certainly sounds doable. |
But concept wise, I'd love to get certain Power Pools/Epic Pools into the build, if for nothing else than Concept reasons.

Katana/Electric seems like it might be a good combo... well for damage at least

Iggy, I know you're the Scrapper bomb here, but I just don't get a couple things about your build for kat/ela - No Power Sink? Conserve Power instead? If you're not playing Power Sink, then why take Ela?
This is what I'm building towards - bit more defense, doesn't have as much insane recharge:

I came up with this a bit ago and have not checked out other builds yet. This does reflect a couple of accolades I normally pick up on toons and a single DA. Concerns are that DA has a low accuracy and that a small purp would be needed before tougher fights. Not sure how she would do in +3x4 and above.

Now to go back and check out other builds.

Was just trowing builds out there. Honestly haven't played much Electric Armor. Got a Fire/Electric Brute and a Claws/Electric scrapper I'm slowly leveling.
If you're not playing Power Sink, then why take Ela? |
Yea so far the Kat\Ela is looking to be a very tight build, I'm going with stamina and fighting so I'm going to skip on a travel power and just go with sprint+hurdle+ninja run. From reading a lot of the replys here I can almost see the wheels turning as people think about builds and concepts.
