I'm sitting at 37 on my Electric/Time Controller right now. Soon, I'll be looking into my Epic Power Pools and I'm really not sure what I'm leaning toward. I've worked out a build to 40 in Mids, but I am not really fond of it. In the build, I put Primal Forces Mastery, but that was only as a placeholder. I don't know which I want.

I don't like the slotting. I wanted as much defense and recharge as possible, as usual. Positionally, I'm sitting at 27.3 melee, 36.6 range, and 35.1 AoE. Also, I have about 25-30% to each damage type. Or should I just be focusing on smashing and lethal damage, which would drastically change my slotting from this current build. My recharge, including Hasten and Chrono Shift is 183.8% which is pretty good.

What I'm not crazy about here is the slotting for Chrono Shift, Slowed Response and my Epic Power Pools. I currently have nothing in Slowed Response. I'm also not sure what I want with Temporal Selection. On live, I have 3 recharges. I may go with that.

As I said earlier, I'm having trouble with the Epic Power Pool. There's something I love about a few different pools. From Primal and Mu, I really like Power Boost and Power Sink to complement my endurance draining, although I don't really anticipate any issues with my own endurance to really need Mu. I'm also very fond of Indomitable Will. Or should I do away with the Epic Pool altogether and go for Fighting? (Which I still won't have room to slot.)

All that said, tear this apart.

Power boost will make farsight a lot more powerful, and it will last the entire duration, so I would keep Primal. As you mentioned, it will also help drain mobs faster.

I forgot about Power Boost buffing defenses.

I will stick with it.
