nope, looks good to me. BTW i made that build
SS/Elec is such a ridiculously strong combo. I'm at 49.5 with my SS/Elec (who I made in August '06, long time, I know!) and after a recent build change he's a veritable monster. Putting a Force Feedback +Rech proc in Foot Stomp is the smartest thing you can do with SS.

The build is ok overall. There are a few places that can be improved. Most are just minor changes. I would slot knockout blow for higher recharge instead of over-slotting it for damage. Energize is very over-slotted with heal as well. I think 5 slots are enough. While obliteration is nice, I would slot lightning field with more endurance reduction, and end drain. I would use reactive armor to slot the resistance toggles instead of Aegis. I'm ok using powers as set mule, but I would try my best to minimize such slotting, for example gloom and dark obliteration.|

I'm actually currently using it, and it's decent, but if there is anything you guys can change, that would be greatly appreciated! |
I modified your build slightly below. It has similar s/l defense and recharge.

Every third character or so I play a real casual style. Common IOs, some franken slotting, maybe even a few SOs. I just did that with SS/Elec and your build has me thinking he should have been one of the "seriously" built character... :-/

I disagree about slotting Lightning Field for EndRedux/EndMods. The value is relatively low at base (-3% end every 2 seconds), and there's no -Recovery. This builds only source of -Recovery is Power Sink, so alone it wont' be flooring anyone's endurance without a second round of Power Sink, and by that time Lightning Field will only serve to help keep it there... we're talking about a fight that's lasted almost a minute for that to come up.|

If he had gone with //Mu, that might be another story. Ball Lightning tossed in the mix, and you can start talking Endurance bottomed out.
With perma-Energize (a global 59% EndRedux) and PowerSink every 22 seconds, you could get away without any endurance reduction. Stamina, PS proc, and Numina's proc all amplify that fact.

I play heroes on Champion.
I play villains on Virtue.

My Power Sink is frankenslotted for Endmod and Recharge. My Lightning Field is frankenslotted for Acc, Dam, and EndRedux. I frequently floor the endurance of enemies around me.

I think this depends on real game play. If you solo a lot against x8 spawns, the endurance drain is actually quite effective and lightning field can help to keep mobs' endurance low. If you team a lot, then the endurance drain should not matter most of the time. If the drain is not useful, feel free to move the slots elsewhere.|
