I'm currently leveling my DB/Elec toon and have him up to level 48. Here's what I'm experiencing so far:
The damage on him is surprisingly good. All I'm using at the moment are lvl 50 SO's, but am looking forward to adding some procs as I can see how it will really benefit the lethal damage set. Being broke sucks =-(
It was with electric armor that I was getting impatient with until after some searching around the forums I found out what I was doing wrong. I was thinking that because /elec is a resistance based set, I should be fine with just charging in the group of enemies and laying waste, but as it turned out, I was the one getting wasted. Then someone wrote that the best way to play as an /elec brute is to use your lightning field as an endurance drainer all the while sapping them with power sink.
What I do now is charge in and let mob attack me while I use power sink, click my heal, and let the lightning field keep them down to their most basic attacks, while I do my dance of death.
Overall, I was like you and ready to give up, but it wasn't until I became a sapper myself that things started to get fun. Hope this helps =-)
There are three types of people in this world: Those who can count and those who can't.
So.... Ive got this toon thats been sitting forever in the low 40s. Broke him out for a while the other day and ran some missions and got him to 43, and am going to break him out again tonite to play, but honestly.. he is soooo boring. Its almost become more of a chore to get him to 50 than he is worth. The damage he deals seems to be very minimal with the blades and thats using lvl 45 straight IOs with most slotted for 2 (pending 3) dmg slots, 1 acc and 1 rchg. And having to follow along the pattern to gain the most benefits when fighting with him is also a big pain.
At this point, I dont know if I should even keep him around. Trying to figure out if I want to just delete him and free up a spot or hang onto him in hopes he will pique my interest again.
Only thing is that I remember it was not easy getting him up to 43 and with only 7 levels left to go, wouldnt it be a waste to delete him? (Heck, Ive even got his level 50 build all planned out when it comes down to respec time)
Thoughts? Opinions?
