After playing my /elec brute to 50..I really enjoyed the Elec armor sets. Its been a while since i rolled a new scrapper..so I decided on the Claws/elec. Not real reason why i chose claws...other that I think it looked like fun.

Anyone have some advice on the build..
Pros/Cons at 50?
Am i gonna hate it eventually?

Got him to 15 so far..had a blast..hoping it stays this fun.

I can't think of any reason why you wouldn't like it at lvl 50. I like my DB/Elec mostly because she's a bit different than my other Scrappers and puts out very nice DPS.

Pros and cons, well, you'll pretty much have infinite endurance at your disposal. This also works the other way around, when played correctly, your enemies will have no endurance at all to use unless they resist end drain. Elec also has very nice Resistances and a good self heal. The +Rech from an autopower is also a welcome bonus. Finally, you are pretty much immune to endurance drain and -recovery (something like 95% resistance, or whatever the cap is). You should also be able to pump out great ST DPS and good AoE.

The only con I can think of is that you don't have any Defense from the secondary so building for it can be a bit tricky especially if you want to get to the soft cap.

I built my DB/Elec to have around 30% S/L Defense on top of her Resistances. It's more than enough in most cases, because I also picked Shadow Meld and use End Drain defensively. The strategy I use is first popping Shadow Meld, then jumping into the spawn, firing off Power Sink and then letting Lightning Field (frankenslotted for Dam and EndMod) drain the little Endurance they have left. This lets me finish the fight in relative safety, because the rate at which the enemies are able to attack is hindered, and I have a very nice combination of Defense and Resistance backed up by a self heal to keep me standing.
