Advice:Concept Build Blapper Sonic/Elec/Elec

So I'm coming up with a concept build, and I want advice on how to make it "work" as best as it can.

The basic premise is someone empowered by the Spirit of a Raiju To become a Henshin hero, Thus Sonic for thunder and electric for lightning. I also want to play as much with the games distance and Area mechanics as possible just to make the combat feel more "real" to me, so I'm trying to squeeze a lot of Aoe out of it. In addition, toku heroes tend to use martial arts a lot more than esoteric "powers" hence the "blapper" idea. All of this probably sounds very stupid but If someone could help me with putting together a decently capable blapper with this info, one that can survive long enough to kill the things around it, I'd really appreciate it.

Money's not as big of a deal for me. I'm not a super billionaire but I have patience and I'm somewhat good at marketeering to where I can get close to a billion in a short time, plus I'm willing to wait on reward rolls and drops and the kindness of friends/strangers. I basically just want to see what's possible with the idea right now and can move forward from there.

I actually love the idea. I'll work on a build for you, can you tell me any powers you won't want? I like the possibility of going into a crowd and sucking the endurance and managing to blapper while at the same time sonic is great against single hard targets

well I don't feel like some of the ST holds of hold much value in this idea, though I know how important "active defense" can be in this situation, I just have a hard time figuring it in. Other than that go nuts

Sounds good with the holds, but I'm lost on the playstyle you're going for. You said you want as much AoE as possible. That gives me howl, shockwave, sirens song, and thunderstrike, and static discharge. Thunderclap for mitigation. But you also want to blap. It seems like you'll have a lot of AoE stuns and knockback (KB going against your blapper desires). I love the idea of doublestacking the stuns but the AoE knockback in thunderstrike and thunderclap defeats the purpose. I'm thinking maybe EM pulse. But really, there are a lot if ways for me to go. Should I go for damage, recharge, mitigation, or defense? In what order of priority. What attack chain would you like. What are your must have powers? I have an idea of how I'd play it, but you'll probably have a completely different idea theme wise. I picture going into a mob, em pulsing for an initial stun, thunderclap to double stack the stun, then powersink. You may be different. If you make a mids of the powers you want I can really run from there.

heres a build with elec app, hope its ok.

Take the Magic: The Gathering 'What Color Are You?' Quiz.

Here is my attempt. Focused on a bit of overall playability. You have a solid single target attack chain with: Shocking Grasp -- Shriek -- Charged Brawl -- Shriek -- Scream -- Shriek.

My main concern is endurance recovery. Luckily, you have two ways to fix that. Power Sink (it's on an 18 second recharge when hasten is up) and Ageless Destiny T4 (+Recovery). If you're willing to go with Ageless, I promise you'll never have endurance issues again and can help make hasten perma.

You are not softcapped in S/L defense, but you do sit at 36.8%, so 1 purple will take you over softcap with some buffer for ToHit debuffers (see what I did there?).

You have good S/L resistances (49.1%/46.6%) and you have Surge of Power to cap your S/L/E resistances if needed.

I slotted EM Pulse to be a useable power. It's a very long recharge, but when it's up, it's a great power for this build (30+ second stun without knockback, allowing for easy double stack of stuns with the Clap). It will disorient and drain endurance of everyone around you. Then you can double stack that stun with Lightning Clap (so all bosses will be walking dizzy for a bit). You can then use Power Sink (if you hit two enemies you're back to full blue bar). This will help fight off the 15 seconds of recovery loss caused by EMP.

For fun, I slotted Thunderstrike as a mini nova. The IO bonuses from Kinetic Crash are great (provides the toon with 3 mag KB protection), and it still enhances your damage. Since you're going for a theme toon, I liked the idea of using this and watching the enemies go flying. All in all, just have fun with it.

I wanted to give you shockwave to complete your massive cone attack options, but just couldn't justify it over something else.

Here's the build.

P.S. I know you said you want Electric Mastery, but you might like what Mu has to offer in terms of playability. It has an AoE damaging immobilization power that prevents knockback. This would help you in double stacking stuns with Lightning Clap and Thunder Strike as the enemies stay in your radius. Just a thought, but maybe you wanted the KB. Which is perfectly fine. The game should be fun, and concept characters do that the best IMO.
