Elec/SD - Farmer build

I have about 2B influence saved right now as well as many of the non-purple enhancements and a few hecatomb. If I need more influence I'm not in a super hurry to complete this build. I generally avoid the PVP enhancements, its hard for me to spend that much on enhancements.

I've only ever made IO'd regen scrappers before so I'm not practiced at builds for shield. This is my first hack at it.
I went for a lot of recharge so I can pretty much always have lightning rod and shield charge as well as active defense. Melee and Range defense are almost capped. I've seen some good builds here on the front two pages with more defense/ resistance then what this build packs maybe about 1.5 defense per category. But this has about 120 more recharge than said build which translates to about 8 seconds less downtime for lightning rod/shield charge/build up. Is going from 2 cycles of build up/ rod/ charge per minute up to 3 worth going from the defense cap to right below it, and from 100 damage bonus to only 33 damage bonus?

I'll appreciate any comments or critiques.

I will really appreciate any comments.

This is my Elec/SD/Pyre build as I have it on live server. I don't farm with it, but I know it excels in AoE damage and is tough so it should have no problem farming.

My build has slightly lower regen and HP, but it is soft capped against all positions making it more survivable. The +Rech on both builds is the same, but my build has more AoE and a seamless single target chain for hard targets like AVs. The single target damage isn't spectacular, but it's mostly unresisted damage types (Energy and Fire) so in most cases you'll do good. The chain I'm using is JLadder > CBrawl > FBlast > CBrawl. What I like most about my build is that it's completely sustainable without insps or temps; while the AoEs use more endurance than I can recover in the long run, fights just don't last long enough to run me dry. Single target wise the attack chain is relatively so "weak" that it doesn't use up much endurance.

I looked at mids closer and I think there is something bugged. I show my build having 100 more recharge, but after checking it thourougly i see that's impossible. That's a pretty sweet build. If I used it I wouldnt take a travel power, what would you take instead?

Your build has the FF proc in Thunder Strike enabled which causes the anomality. Turn it off and you should see the real values.

As for not picking a travel power... I'm not actually sure. Grant Cover would be a good pick, but I'm not sure the build has enough slots to leverage it properly. Would need some toying around to see how it'd work out, but I think it would be the best pick.
