Mu Mastery/Electric Fences

Hey Folks,
Out of curiosity, what is the typical way this is slotted and with which IO sets? It indicates that the DOT is minor. Is it worth slotting with a damage type IO set? I was thinking maybe Enfeebled Operation with the slashing / lethal defense and the small recharge bonus for my SS/ELA brute. If I go that route, am I giving up a lot of damage? Any guidance is appreciated. Thanks.

Positron's blast (all but the dam/range) and a rech IO. I dont recomend slotting with an immobile set to get that def. You will get more survivablity from not using fences so you can keep the KD from foot stomp

As said above, slot it with Posi Blast..
But to be honest, youd be better off using a single

Trap of the Hunter: Accuracy/Immobilize/Recharge

This power for me is only a stepping stone to

Ball Lightning
Hurls a highly charged ball of Mu lightning that explodes on contact. Ball Lightning deals good damage in an area of effect, and drains some Endurance from each target it hits. You must have one other Mu Mastery power before selecting this power.


5 slotted with Posi on my level 50 brute generally knocks around 100pts of damage off most Lt's.
If you are looking for a holding power, then go for Fences, but if you are looking for additional AoE damage, save your slots and step up to Ball Lightning with a 5 slotted Posi Blast

Hi,
Thanks for the replies. I do intend on getting Ball Lightning. So would it be smarter to use fences more as an endurance drain and slot it that way? That would also provide mitigation between the ELA damage aura; power sink and ball lightning. Thanks again!!

I kind of disagree that you should slot Fences for anything but damage, especially if you're farming at all. The damage it does isn't inconsequential at all. Over a series of farm runs this is the damage Herostats reported for my AOE powers:

Reactive Interface: 394k
Blazing Aura: 362k
Foot Stomp: 340k
Bonus Fire: 212k
Ball Lightning: 204k
Electrifying Fences: 178k
Burn: 103k
Bonus Damage: 89k
Unknown: 59k

That's a decent chunk of damage for Fences. Mu's main advantage in my opinion is that it gives you two AOEs instead of just one, so I like to capitalize on it. I slot it with 5 Posis (no dam/range). I'd put the immob lethal proc in it too if I could spare a slot.

It's going to be less of a heavy hitter if you're not farming, so YMMV.
