Hey I have one of these, I suggest taking resist elements and putting tough and weave into your build.
Mine does good but you need fury up as. Fast as u can, I took charged brawl as it's a super fast attack which helps the fury.
You need loads of recharge which you will need IOs for. With electric being weak compared to other brute powers u want lighting rod up as often as poss.

I do have Tough and Weave in the build and it has helped my survivability. Instead of Charged Brawl I use Boxing. I lead off with it and then continue through my attack chain. I also have Brawl set to auto to help fill in any downtime.|

Judging from the posts in the threads for the guides it appears that both the resists have received a boost in effectiveness. Perhaps that is the way to go. I'd rather mitigate damage than repair damage by having to blow my two powers on Aid Other and Aid Self.
I don't think it is weak necessarily. To your point, I have noticed that my attack chain doesn't seem to flow quite as nicely as my DB/WP brute. I've two-slotted Accuracy SOs for each attack and have damage SOs filling out the rest. I did that to help get through the earlier levels. As I max out my slots I'll start adding some recharge too.
Yeah elec melee works best with alot of recharge and invuln works best with heavy typed defense not an easy task to get lots of both
I can't seem to find this combination anywhere and I need help. I've pieced together a build strategy (I am generally pleased with it) based off several wonderfully written guides (thanks to all who put the time into writing those). But I just hit 26 and I'm wondering what to pick up. I'm decked out with just SOs at the moment. I solo and team and can handle larger mobs of +1 and +2... mostly. Here is what I have...
* * * SHOCK SHARK * * *
Lvl 1 - Havoc Punch, Resist Physical Damage
Lvl 2 - Jacob's Ladder
Lvl 4 - Dull Pain
Lvl 6 - Temp Invulnerability
Lvl 8 - Thunder Strike
Lvl 10 - Hasten
Lvl 12 - Boxing
Lvl 14 - Tough
Lvl 16 - Build Up
Lvl 18 - Chain Induction
Lvl 20 - Weave
Lvl 22 - Unyielding
Lvl 24 - Super Speed
Lvl 26 - ?
This is what I have planned later...
Lvl 28 - Invincibility
Lvl 30 - ?
Lvl 32 - Lightning Rod
Lvl 35 - Tough Hide
Lvl 38 - Unstoppable
Lvl 41 - School of Sharks
Lvl 44 - Bile Spray
Lvl 47 - Arctic Breath
Lvl 49 - Summon Guardian?
So two slots to burn. Are either Resist Energies or Resist Elements something I should invest in? Anybody else have this combo?
