does anyone have experience with this combo? Is it worth the effort?
I have not looked at your build at all, but it is in my opinion that the sets have great synergy in theory. I haven't actually played this particular combo, but have played both sets individually. It really does seem to have it all tho, you have all the -tohit to make up for the lack of defense in /elec(which you build for, which makes the -tohit even better), and Lightning Reflexes just works awesomely with shortening those long recharging powers that are a staple of Dark Melee, such as Soul Drain. Now throw in Shadow Meld and you're looking at a toon who has great resistances, doesn't need a travel power(w/ NR/BR/Raptor pack all boosted from Lightning Reflexes), can perma Energize to boost regen and cut end usage down, and also soft cap their own defenses(even before the tohit debuffs) every mob. I will look at your build later, but this combo is not just viable, it's an underused monster.
Edit: Oh yeah, and don't forget Siphon Life will add in another heal!
Used to be the "Buzzsaw" build red-side, for Brutes, pre-DM adjustment. With the New DM, I see it being about as tasty. Shame I used up ElA with Katana... Too many alts.

I'm seriously looking at this build...I have everything for it except the PVP IO but I am halkf way Merit-wise to getting it.
How much mileage do you think I can get out of this build?
