ELA: Conductive Shield

So I am playing my new Spines/ELA scrapper and was wondering if i would be hurting myself if i skipped Conductive shield?

The only place I could fit it in would be at lvl 30, but was planing on taking Build up

So the question is Build up or Conductive shield AT lvl 30?

Note: I usually team with a buddy who is an Earth/FF troller

Put off Lightning Field until after Stamina, and drop Power Surge. You really don't want to be skipping one of your armor toggles, or even putting it off until later.

I wouldn't skip Conductive Shield, though I'm not entirely sure where I'd fit it in your build, either. Conductive is your main source of negative energy resistance, and only source of fire/cold; without it you'll have problems against a large number of enemies.

If it were my character, I'd either skip Super Speed, or at least put it off. But then, I have Ninja Run from the Martial Arts pack, so I don't need a "true" travel power most of the time. Doing that, I could put off Hasten into the late teens or even the twenties and get Conductive sooner.

Depending on what epic pool you take, I'd say push back Power Surge and try to find a way to grab Conductive Shield by the late 20s at the latest. Power Surge is nice, but you've gone 37 levels without it, and you aren't generally going to be tanking for the team, so putting it off won't do much harm, IMO.
