I think you underestimate the awesomeness of Energy Drain. More slots!
They ALL float down here. When you're down here with us, you'll float too!
@Starflier
Here is my new take on my KM/EA Brute (i21).
Its softcapped to S/L/F/C/E.
NE is at 37.8% with no Incarnate.
Energize is 17 secs off perma but with the high Def values this shouldnt be needed all the time.
Im going for the Nerva alpha for the +Acc (and the smaller +Def doesnt hurt either for -Def foes or running at +2, +3)

Thanks for the feedback. I see that I made a couple of EA 'noob' blunders in my original build. Still not sure how to get more slots into Energy Drain w/o gimping something else, but the main error was omitting Energy Cloak. I figured I would use a Celerity +Stealth in Superspeed to get the cloaking w/o a power choice. I didn't realize that Energy Cloaking has a huge +Def component to it. My new build is capped to S/L/E/F/C, and has almost 70% recharge.
