Elec/Energy Single-Target Buzzsaw Advice

'Morning all you crazy, suicidal Blasters you. I've recently come back to the game a couple weeks ago and am beginning to dust off a lot of old characters from years past, one of which is an Electrical Blast / Energy Manipulation Blaster with a focus on single-target damage (and if there's any room, some group sapping potential).

Considering Defiance capitalizes on rapid-firing attacks to stack the damage buff, would anyone here happen to have personal experience with this combo and be able to recommend a build with some rudimentary slotting tips? The AoE from Elec/Energy is incredibly dismal, so I'd prefer not bothering with wasting resources attempting to to achieve "sub-par" AoE potential when I can specialize in destroying hard-targets within moments.

And again, if there happen to be some empty spaces, I can surely handle a random Short Circuit + Power Boost with the slotting and purpose of sapping groups, though as effective as this was back in the day, I'd rather have to bother with it unless our team lost a lot of AoE.

Single target focused hovering blaster with defenses of:

Melee - 11.1%
Ranged - 45.5%
AoE - 22.7%

Enjoy

Thank you!

Recently returned to CoX myself and my only Hero I liked playing was my Electric Energy Blaster. Still remembering how to play again and this helps me a lot.

You are welcome.
