What to build for with /Elec?

My SS/Elec is at 26 right now, and I am still unsure of what to build for IO wise. Obviously +Recharge is a big one, to get Energize up as quickly as possible, but what else? Nothing really to stack +Def with, would you go +Regen instead?

I am planning on doing farming with this character as well, and I know the main Villain farm, Nemesis, just busts through defense anyways.

First off, everything is a farm nowdays...but if youre goal is the Nemisis farm your priorities should be Recharge Recharge Recharge +HP/Regen in some order. Recharge would help Footstomp and Rage as well as energize....and killing things is the best mitigation

If you have other plans consider getting about 30% or so S/L defense. That would make anything not named Nemisis ridiculously easy.

But really why not just find a nice Rikti map and play to /Elec's strengths...anyhow, good luck and all that

My SS/Elec. Build might be slightly out of date. That's the Brute I used to post most of the #s from several threads in the Brute forum recently. I use Soul for general play. Mu is a little more effective for AoE carnage but loses Darkest Night.

I think it is a "little" effective at mauling bad guys.

+Rech, +HP, maybe melee def if you can. As far as what to run, Rikti > Nemesis in my opinion, and you can farm right off the bat. I am partial to Mu myself.

Here is what I currently farm with, it is in no way final, but I can manage relatively easy. Should be fairly inexpensive sans purples.
