Electric/???

I'm looking to try out the Electric control set, with a Controller and I'm not sure what to pair it with... I am pretty much a fanboy of Radiation Emission and Kinetics, but I have 3 /Rad Controllers, a Rad Defender, 2 Kin Defenders and a /Kin Controller already so I'm thinking I may like to try something else.

Some info regarding my playstyle... this will mostly be a solo character, I do not delve into purples, and don't do much for high end builds either. I mostly slot Generic IOs with some slotting for +Global Rech and +Recovery.

I was thinking of possibly Electric/Storm for a thematic combo. Anyone have an Elec/Storm? Suggest for or against this combo?

Any other suggestions for what goes good with Electric control? I assume from the power descriptions that Electric is a low damage control set and I am OK with that. I also have an Earth/FF(50 that teamed a good bit) and an Ice/TA (Currently 24 that has exclusively soloed) controller so I can deal with the slowness of a low damage set.

Thanks

Electric/Archery - just like fight club - try not to talk about it too much.

Look through the powers and you can drain the endurance of even AVs and you have endless endurance without Stamina. How would you like to open attacks with a sleep that KEEPS sleeping even after they are awoken, drain their endurance, disrupt their resistance and defense, Hold them all, slow them and confuse them all and all BEFORE you get pets?

Yeah, it can be that good.

I've got an Elec/Rad on the go at the moment, and even though she's still low level, she's already fun to play. Sure she's slow solo, but still fun.

I considered /Storm, too. However, Storm's got lots of KB, which will mess with the location sleep power, and the +regen/+recovery aura. Hurricane would make the aura pretty much useless, too.

I'd suggest possibly looking at /Sonic, though. The -res might help with the lack of damage, and the Sonic Dispersion will mean Conductive Aura drops only when Sleeps are in play. I'd also guess that Gremlins with the Sonic shields would look rather fancy, too. ^_^

Because of the synergy with Choking Cloud, I had to make mine an Elec/Rad, even though I have a LOT of */Rad controllers (Ill, 2xFire, Earth and Plant all at 50, with a few others at lower levels). Rad synergizes with Electric very well. I'm at 33 so far, and it has been fun. I can't wait until I can really fully enhance everything.

I tried both Elec/Kin and Elec/Rad on Test, and much preferred the Rad. If I were going to go with something else . . . I'd probably go with Thermal.

Storm is an awesome set -- I have lots of them, too. But Freezing Rain will disrupt the sleep from Static Field, and Static Field is one of your main sources of control. You would have other tools you could use, but that one is a problem for me. Your AoE from Elec has no -knockback, which is good for Jolting Chain and the knockdown in Freezing Rain, but bad for Tornado -- kind of like Gravity in that way. You will have Hurricane to herd foes back into your sleep patch, which will be nice. You don't have a stun to stack with Thunderclap (like Earth, Fire and Grav). Storm is always fun, but I'm not sure that Electric is the best synergy.

Trick Arrow could be fun. (I have an Ill/TA at 50.) I prefer to use TA from range, but you could use Static and your debuffs from range and then run into melee to drain endurance with Conductive Aura -- you may want to plan on using Super Speed for travel. Poison Gas Arrow has a 66% chance to apply a Mag 2 Sleep, so stacking it with Static Field might be pretty decent. The energy damage in Tesla Cage and the AoE Immob will probably light Oil Slick, and the damage will be welcome in the upper levels. So, I can see TA being a pretty good match.

Cold is an interesting set, but has Sleet has the same good/bad aspect as Freezing Rain. It will further enhance the endurance drain of Electric.

I am trying another variety of super sapper: EC/Kinetics.

Thanks for all the tips gang, maybe I need to go Dominator or I will go Elec/Rad and try to find teams.
