I find it silly to ask for Alpha slot advice. You can swap them out more conveniently than respeccing. As long as you don't go past the 2nd tier, you won't lose anything you can't just farm to get more of.
For me this choice would depend highly upon what epic pool you took. If you're using body mastery, chances are you probably won't need cardiac and can either focus on rech or dmg. On the other hand, if you took something with an extra AoE attack like blaze then you would probably benefit a lot from taking cardiac. My elec/sd has blaze mastery, and upon getting tier 3 alpha I went for muscalature since I figured the +recovery would help my end and the +dmg would help my ST attack chain which I've always felt could be a bit higher. It doesn't help as much as you'd think it does, for either aspect. In my experience, the main problem with elec/sd/fire is end comsumption, not end recovery.

I don't want to have to spend the time taking the alpha past the 2nd tier then deciding I was wrong.
Thank you Drexyl, that was exactly the information I was hoping for.
Seems pretty understandable that you wouldn't want to have to waste all of those shards just to find out the hard way. I also wanted to mention since I didn't touch on this at all, but I've tried going the recharge route as well (my scrap has all 2nd tiers except for the accuracy one) and I really didn't notice that much a boost in any of my powers, at least not enough to make a big difference. To put it simply though, I would say if you took Body Mastery you can take any alpha you want but if you took any epic with extra attacks then cardiac is the way to go.
I just can't decide which way to go
Recharge seems the obvious as I think the damage alpha wont have as big an effect or would some improved resistance /end make more sense.....HELP!!!!!
