I hate my elec/storm...

She is 50, even unlocked Alpha slot...
I just cant stand her enough to try to play and craft a Cardiac.
I cant defeat mobs solo well because of the end hog, both elec and storm. Both sets are too damn expensive.
Any build, so I can try to get better before I delete her forever?

Why Blasters? Empathy Sucks.
So, you want to be Mental?
What the hell? Let's buff defenders.
Tactics are for those who do not have a big enough hammer. Wisdom is knowing how big your hammer is.

Thank you!
I guess would be better to pick the fighting pool set for defenses, than the leadership pool.

How is Elec an end hog?


 

Posted

It is indeed.
I need to upgrade the build, the character is old, but take a look at elec blast numbers. The end cost is high and the end return as secondary effect is low.

Cardiac is amazingly ridiculously awesome, stick with it.

My crab's attack chain is now 4 AoEs, 2 of them are patron AoEs.

Oh and I run 8 toggles.

Before cardiac I could run that attack chain once before switching to ST attacks and maybe even stop attacking altogether for a second or 2. Now I can roll that attack chain for a very long time, long enough to defeat the Freedom Phalanx anyway.

My brute picked up maneuvers and Darkest Night since cardiac, and has no end problems.

Cardiac is like a whole new toon, stick with it! A couple of shard-intensive ITFs should get you enough to craft it.

Let's put it this way, the devs once balanced great powers by giving them high end costs so that we'd have to cautiously use those great powers. Cardiac blows that out of the water and lets you spam terrific powers like they're free.

Hehe, I feel u anonymoose, I got a widow with 2 rare cardiacs, waiting to craft the very rare soon, and its awesome.

For the updated version, could you make one with a travel power at level 6?

Base endurance cost of charged bolts: 5.2
Base endurance cost of power bolt: 5.2
Base endurance cost of fire blast: 5.2
Base endurance cost of aimed shot: 5.2
Base endurance cost of burst: 5.2
Base endurance cost of dark blast: 5.2
Base endurance cost of ice bolt: 5.2
Base endurance cost of x-ray beam: 5.2
Base endurance cost of shriek: 5.2

All the blast powers have comparable endurance costs when you compare similar powers. Your main problem with electric is that all its AOE powers are 16 target capped, instead of the usual 10 target cone most other sets have, and, of course, Voltaic Sentinel, which is 9 tons of overkill against anything that isn't an AV.

Get your elec/storm in a nice big team, however, and you'll crush. Freezing Rain + Short Circuit + Ball Lightning is on par with the crashless tier 9 powers.
