Help with Elec/SD, I am not a good number cruncher.

Help me with this build. This is based off another build I saw on the forums and am not overly happy with it.

Where should I put purples not at the expense of other sets bonuses?

I played around a bit with Mids but having a hard time wringing the last few percentages out. Should I take blaze instead like almost every other post here? I saw Princess Darkstars build and I really like it, I guess I could just use that as he obviously spend time number crunching.

Thoughts?

I personally think that you should either pick Blaze Mastery, or Mu Mastery for your epic. Elec/Shield's speciality is AoE, and both of those offer you an additional AoE which will work wonderfully well. Mu Mastery is a bit of a faff to get though since you have to become a villain and do the first part of the patron arc, and Blaze Mastery I think does slightly more damage - though Mu Mastery allows you an extra power pick since the AoE is T2 not T3.

As for the build itself there are a few things I would change, but (And I hope you think I am being nice here rather than lazy) rather than just remake the build I thought it might be more helpful if I give a few pointers so you can have another go yourself first

The first thing you need to be aiming for is to get your defence to melee, ranged and AoE to 45%, though don't go too far over. That is to all intents and purposes the magic number, which means that most enemies in the game will only have a 5% chance to hit you, which is as low as it can go.

You are at 41.3% to melee, 37.3% to ranged and 40.7% to AoE so you aren't far off already. In case you don't know - the view totals button shows you these numbers.

Defence powers like Deflection don't really benefit from being 6 slotted, unless the sets you are using offer a nice bonus. In the case of your build you can see when you however over Deflection you have 59.91% enhancement, but the pre-ED figures show 86.06%. Essentially that means ~25% of the defence slotting you have put into that power is wasted and therefore a few slots should be moved elsewhere.

Do you want to have another look to see if you can work in Blaze Mastery or Mu Mastery? If you like I will happily try and make you a build just to copy, since I don't know how good a teacher I am lol
