Elec/SD - Need a hand with my first serious IO'ed farmer

Hey all, got some great build advice on these boards not to long ago, hoping to get a repeat of that.

I have a Elec/SD Scrapper whose about to hit 32 and get Lightning Rod. I think I want him to be my first serious farmer that I make an IO build for. I searched the boards for guides/advice on IO builds, eventually found some stuff and made a build based on that. I have no idea if I did it correctly tho or if its even possible within my budget (Currently I have just under a billion influence). So I was hoping I could get some assistance. Here's what I've got so far.

Like I said, I'm not sure if I've done it all correctly or the best way, and I have no idea if I can do that for under a billion. Hopefully I can. If not, is there anyway I could come close to that and maybe work up to it? Or should I just do something totally different with the build?

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer, really excited for this toon.

*Not sure why my topic got double posted, sorry about that, mod can merge or delete one if possilble

I'm impressed. It is rare for someone who is asking for help to post such a good build.

Phalanx Fighting should not be enhanced. The power gives 3.75% unenhanceable defense with no allies nearby. The defense gained with allies near is enhanceable, but it is bad to rely on that to soft-cap, especially if you plan to farm solo. A Kismet to-hit is best there.

Be sure to turn off the proc in Thunder Strike as it can cause misleading recharge numbers.

Enhancing Maneuvers might allow you to convert some defense set bonuses to recharge. The more often you can use Lightning Rod and Shield Charge, the better.

Consider fitting a 5th LOTG global recharge in the build. Grant Cover will be fine at .16 end/s instead of .11 end/s. Or, you may end up putting it in Maneuvers if you enhance it more.

Here is the build with suggested changes:

Your build would depend on what you're fighting, if you're solo or teamed and if it's AE or standard mission.

From the look of your build, I would:

-Drop 1 slot from Weave (You are above the 9% +acc cap)
-Drop 2 slots from Super Jump (Will still have 45% softcap def and -KB IO not needed)
-Drop 1 slot from Char (Will still have 45% softcap def)

With the 4 extra slots, improve S/L resistance and endurance. Make sure you pick up the 4 main accolades and get a T3 or T4 Alpha.

I have a toon similar to yours and can solo +4/x8/Y/N AE S/L farms pretty easily.

Thanks for the quick responses. Ya I found a really good guide for Elec/Shield builds and made a few switches with slotting levels and such so I can't really take all the credit for it lol.

Do you think that build there is viable for me to level up with going from 32 onwards, or should I be doing something else and gradually switching over to it? First time really seriously IO'ing out a toon so I'm not sure how well it'll work as I'm leveling vs already near the endgame. Also, think I could do it for under a billion?

Thanks again for all the help. Really appreciate it.

It's been awhile since leveling up that character but I remember endurance being an issue so you may have to add an end redux here and there. Other than that, you have taken key powers at the right times.

I think the build you posted is about 2 billion influence. The miscellaneous LotG's, Numi +reg/rec, Miracle +rec and Obliteration acc/dam/rec/end (x2) will be close to 1 billion already.

Start placing low bids now and hopefully you'll get them when you're ready.

I'm pretty sure the proc has a chance to go off for each guy hit by the attack. It's one of the better melee powers to slot it in, right behind footstomp.

I made some changes to get you more recharge, but I did this with the assumption that you were looking strictly for a farm build.

If you also want this build for general play, just steal some of the slotting ideas I wouldn't go with this build as is for that.

I don't even use IO builds until 47 because I like to slot level 50 IOs. You can get by on SOs or generic IOs until then because Shield Defense is fairly easy to reach 32.5% defenses while leveling. Just use a small inspiration when you need it to soft-cap.
