Then ET was changed to take 7 days to animate. Haven't enjoyed him since then. I try each new issue to get him back out and do some new content with him. Maybe even drop a billion or so inf on the build trying to tweak it back into being fun.
The truth is, no matter how much time and effort I put back into him nothing is going to make it as fun as it used to be to hit BU+TF+BS on boss 1 and ET+Gloom on boss 2 and know that they were out of the fight.
I would suggest rerolling as Kinetic Melee/ELA. You get a fun build up power that is great on fury chasing brutes. Your attacks do -damage which is awesome on a Res based set and that is in addition to most of the attacks also doing stun or kd. You get a pbaoe that has the same radius as Whirling Hands but doesn't suck. A nice little ranged attack instead of Stun. in short KM is just about what EM should have been.

This was exactly what I was looking for, thank you so much!
I just got done with running around on my EM/ELE, and I too had much love for it. I remember the good old days when it was the perfect av slayer and was pretty fun to joust around in zone pvp.
So much has changed, it definitely feels slower. This wasn't the brute I leveled to 50, so I am going to take your advice and as soon as GR gets here, I'll be rolling with Kinetic/Ele. If you have any build references that would be very helpful, I see stamina has become inherent!
