I'm sure it can be done, but can you guys give me a hint as to what my build goals should be? I have a build right now with 32.5% defense to S/L/E/N and about 50% recharge, but I'm sure that's not enough. Any of the scrapper gurus out there mind tossing a newbie to this type of thing some advice?

Alright. I made a few changes to the build I had originally...but it's still not up to the specifications you posted, Werner. Maybe I need to drop some powers and pick up others, but I'm not sure which ones to change. Shockwave, maybe? What is a good attack chain for a claws? FU -> Eviscerate -> Slash -> Focus?

I've soloed most AVs on a DB/invul with 33% S/L/E/N/F/C before we had access to incarnates.

By which I'm trying to say, even if we assume you're not using any incarnate slot beyond Alpha, your build is much superior than the one I had, and player skill doesn't play much of a part as the gist of the encounter is standing still and going through the same motions, so I don't think you should run into trouble soloing AVs.

The best chain for DPS is FU->Focus->Slash, but it requires insane amounts of recharge. It will be exceptionally difficult to obtain that kind of recharge while also getting enough defense to survive an AV fight.

The chain I run is FU->Slash->Focus->Strike. The DPS isn't quite as high as the first one I mentioned, but it would be enough to take out an AV.

Interestingly, if you have enough recharge to run the second chain, you also have enough to chain FU-Spin-Eviscerate for some nice AoE damage.

Honestly, it's not surprising. I haven't tricked out any Electric Armors, but I'm betting you have to compromise almost everything to hit 45% to everything, if it's even possible, and it might be going overboard regardless. So maybe just 45% smashing/lethal, and decent to the other types, like 32.5% FCEN? Not that you hit that either, and again, I'm not sure what a realistic goal for Electric Armor is. I should probably defer to someone with more experience with Electric or the combo at this point.
