/rad and /kin are the premier sets for any controller and they work here as well. Elec is melee based so you'll want to look at sets that play well in melee. Elec is so end friendly it will also be good for sets that have known higher end cost. If /kin and /rad are the top two, I would say /sonic is in the next group with maybe /storm based on how you want to handle Hurricane even if that means not taking it. I have yet to take Hurricane on a /storm controller, but I haven't rolled Grav/storm and Ill/storm yet either.|

Edit: /cold will be really good as well. I would rank it higher than /kin actually.
I had an Elec/Kin, but I ended up deleting it, because it seems that Elec makes some of Kins powers redundant.
Static Field already gives tons of endurance to your team, and Conductive Aura gives end to you, thus reducing the benefits from Speed Boost and Transference.

I have a Elec/Rad and Elec/Cold Dom, both mid 20s at the moment, and both are pretty fun to play.
Rad is a super solid set, works great out of the box, and works great levels 1-50. The -tohit debuffs work very nicely to keep you alive while your in melee range, drinking all those milkshakes. Plus Choking Cloud works nicely with your other debuffs, and doesnt break Sleep.
Cold feels like more of a late bloomer. I haven't gotten some of the higher powers like Sleet (which I am looking forward to, esp.c since Elec's AoE immob doesnt prevent knockdown) and Heat Loss (which I am hoping stacks with Elec's -end for some brutal blue bar devastation.) Cold's other slows and debuffs dont break Sleep, which is nice. By the time targets DO wake up, they are feeble old men.
Refreshing shields is also a bit of a chore.
And yes, the set is very gentle on your endurance. This is the only troller primary I've ever played where i didnt need to take Stamina.
Stay Gold, Paragon. Stay Gold.
