Km/electric armor?! *gasp*

Yes.. It sounds weird doesn't it, but is it actually viable? I have been looking around for a build but there seems to be none... Either my search fu has gone bad OR KM/Sheild is just that good :P If anyone has any builds on KM/ I would love to see them ^^Thanks ahead of time

I had a Kin/Elec for a while but rerolled DM/Shield for something a little different from what I already had (I didn't have any current defense-based melee characters). It's very viable in the mid-game at least. I got mine to 34 before I rerolled and it was a very durable and powerful power mixture. I think my final build was built for 32.5% s/l defense but I can't remember for sure.

I think it would be a good choice for late-game as well.

I am torn between km/elec, km/dark, and km/fire. I don't think km/elec has any special synergy, but the sets do not get in each other's way either. If you get your s/l to softcap, you can have an extremely hardy character that hits like a champ too.

I get what you mean by no synergies Microcosm =( FA for me wasn't a choice since i have a SS/Brute something different would be nice so ElecArmor looked sick but it does seem that shield is the way to go sadly

Well, at the very top end of io'ing, I think the km/elec will be more survivable than the km/shield; on the lower end of IO'ing, shields has electric beat by miles since the softcap is generally much better than the scrapper resistance cap. Also, with the shielder you need to fix your endurance consumption, increase your recharge, and finish getting your way to the softcap; but with the electric, you just need to worry about adding defense and a little bit of recharge, as its endurance is completely taken care of and it has a nice 20% recharge boost.

I'm a bit biased in favor of electric though, especially since I figured out that with the Musculature Radial Paragon I can sap 100% of my enemies' endurance with one use of Power Sink and one tick of the damage aura

In the end I think it just depends on what you like, and since you used "" for shields, I'm going to say stick with electric.

Expertise is on /electric here but electric has the beloved energy and psi survival. If you are looking for builds I suggest piece meal it through 2 guides if in doubt.

Microcosm didn't you have a build thrown together for KM/Elec? If you do have one may I take a look at it? That would give me somewhere to start

I have one I could post or pm tonight maybe (at work ). My builds tend to be for level 50 play, and absolute money-no-object... I am currently revising my electric builds (km, kat, ninblade, and ss) to take advantage of the Musculature Radial Paragon thing I had missed before.
