Elec/Time build

Posted

I've never tried posting a build on the forums before, but I'm really enjoying my Elec/Time Controller (got her up to 43 now) and I'm hoping to maximize my effectiveness. I came up with this build on Mid's and would very much appreciate any feedback.

I chose Burnout because it has come in very handy on multiple occasions when I desperately needed certain powers up...kind of an "oh crap" power.

I chose Psi as my Epic because I absolutely can not STAND getting mezzed. I carry lots of break frees, but it doesn't lessen my frustration, as Elec/Time is so dependent on those toggles being up.

One more note, I plan on upgrading Posi's Blast to the Purple equivalent when I have the funds or the time to wait for the drops. I was basically going for Range defense and recharge with this build, the philosophy being that most anything that comes into melee range with this toon is done for anyway.

Overall it looks like a nice build with well-thought-out slotting. I just saw a couple of things that you may want to consider:

The Numina's proc in Conductive Aura. Yes, CA will be on most of the time . . . but not all of the time. There is no benefit to having the proc in CA and there would be no downside to moving that slot and proc to Health. Plus, if you don't have any endurance issues, you could replace the Miracle proc with a Numina's Heal for a big Regen bonus.

Have you actually tried World of Confusion? Pretty much everyone I know who has agrees that the power stinks. A few people like it as a mule for the purple confuse set . . . but you have that in Synaptic Overload. The one or two people who have actually said they like the power all agree that it really needs the Contagious Confusion proc . . . but you have that in Synaptic Overload. Also, have you checked to see if the power causes aggro or wakes sleepers? It causes minimal Psi damage, so it will wake up foes who are napping in Static Field -- which is not what you want. Overall, the radius is too small and the confuse pulse duration is too short to make the power anything more than a useless endurance drain. Instead, take Psi Blast and slot it with Thunderstrikes.


LOCAL MAN! The most famous hero of all. There are more newspaper stories about me than anyone else. "Local Man wins Medal of Honor." "Local Man opens Animal Shelter." "Local Man Charged with..." (Um, forget about that one.)

Awesome. Thank you for the feedback. I have not tried WoC. In theory, it sounded like it would mesh well with my other powers. I'll take a close look with that in mind. You're absolutely right about the Numina Proc. Thank you very much for your thoughts.

I will say that Malaise's Illusion gives me both a Recharge and Ranged defense bonus, which is why I selected it. I don't know...

Looking at the build, it is very good with the goals you had in mind (namely ranged defense and mez protection), however I feel you are sacrificing too much from other goals. Namely... you have no ST attack chain. I guess it depends on wether or not you ever solo or are just building for maximum team friendlyness, but I'd definitely consider going with Electric Fence slotted as an attack. If you swap World of confusion for it and slot it with Thunderstrike, you don't even lose the defense bonus.

You also skipped the AOE immoblize which, I feel, is a big mistake. If you plan on incarnating, and going with an interface that has a dot...your AOE immobilize will suddenly do OMGWTFBBQ levels of damage, to the point of wiggling down entire spawns' HP to nothing in seconds.

Speaking of incarnating, Clarion is a much better choice of mez protection imo - first of all, it is perma without needing to dedicate any slots to it, unlike indomitable will, and much higher mag protection. It also leaves you free to choose another epic pool.

I think 3 pure end mods in conductive aura is a bit overkill, I'd put the 3rd into Stamina. Hasten is also perma just with 2 recharge IOs, so you have another slot to spare.

Do you stay much at range that you need it capped? I find that 32% on ranged/meelee is enough, with Time's Juncture's providing the debuffs to put me at proper defense cap (or to cap with a small purple in emergencies). But then, I play my Elec/time as a scraptroller and charge into spawns.

Thank you for saying most of what I was thinking.

Here is a build I am planning on using to attempt AV soloing like I do on my Elec/Cold. I went primal mastery for power boosted farsight which allows me to have soft capped defense to ALL and not sacrificing damage. Of course you can retool it to work in chain fences/jolting chain for more AoE. I also plan on taking agility instead of spiritual for even more defense, end recovery and sapping power.

Here is a build I am planning on using to attempt AV soloing like I do on my Elec/Cold. I went primal mastery for power boosted farsight which allows me to have soft capped defense to ALL and not sacrificing damage. Of course you can retool it to work in chain fences/jolting chain for more AoE. I also plan on taking agility instead of spiritual for even more defense, end recovery and sapping power.
I've heard a few people being this up before. Doesn't power boost only have a fifteen second effect and a two or three minute cool down? If that is so you are going to spend a lot of time not capped...

Yes, Power Boost only lasts 15 seconds. The key is that anything you cast in that 15 seconds doubles *for the duration of that other power*. You would be correct about the lowering of the defense if we were talking about a Toggle power like Maneuvers. But since Farsight lasts 2 minutes (1.5 minutes? I forgot) on it's own, it "keeps" the Power Boost bonus for the entire time the power is on even though Power Boost itself expired long ago.

It's a magical thing, really.

Here's my current live build. I'm not super happy with Ice Mastery since I've never really had a need for Hibernate as an escape power - this is easily the safest toon I've ever played. I had Stone Mastery at one point with perma-Earth's Embrace (and perma-capped HP), I may go back to that or try out Mu Mastery to get another pet.

Anyways, I've never found a need to pursue the defense soft cap on this toon for a couple of reasons:

1) My defense numbers plus hitting mobs with -tohit means I rarely get hit anyways.
2) I can sleep a mob, then run in and drain their endurance in seconds. That means they don't use their hardest hitting attacks too often.

Nearly capping my own recharge with Ageless is nice, too.

Anyways, I've never found a need to pursue the defense soft cap on this toon for a couple of reasons:

1) My defense numbers plus hitting mobs with -tohit means I rarely get hit anyways.
2) I can sleep a mob, then run in and drain their endurance in seconds. That means they don't use their hardest hitting attacks too often.

Nearly capping my own recharge with Ageless is nice, too.
I have perma EE on my Elec/Cold and I really love the heal and +hp but I'm starting to find it lacking. I'm debating on just carrying extra greens and just go back to Mace Mastery for the extra -res and pet.

I agree that for normal play you don't need to go for soft cap but for higher diff, incarnate trials and big game hunting soft cap and higher makes your life easier. Heck my Fire/Fire/Ice dom went with zero defense and went muscular alpha and huge amounts of +rech to kill things before they can kill me.

The sleep and sap strategy is something I've loved to use since I made my first elec/ troller. Static Field and Conductive Aura will drain quickly and even faster with Chain Fences.

Yeah I have my eye on a couple of the villain patron pools for the reasons you've mentioned.

I typically have around 60% defense on my elec/time when running Incarnate trials from all the team buffs, but I might eventually try and tweak this build so that I have more than just smash/lethal sitting near the soft cap.

You would be correct about the lowering of the defense if we were talking about a Toggle power like Maneuvers. But since Farsight lasts 2 minutes (1.5 minutes? I forgot) on it's own, it "keeps" the Power Boost bonus for the entire time the power is on even though Power Boost itself expired long ago.

It's a magical thing, really.
So how does that interact with powers like Weave, Maneuvers, and Combat Jumping?

Those powers use short pulses, so the power boost effect only lasts for the duration of the boost -- 15 seconds.

Toggles like that have a short duration, and reapply themselves frequently. So when you use Power Boost, Weave will give you the higher defense every time it ticks/updates while PB is up, and when PB wears off, it'll update with the lower value again. So with toggles, PB only helps during its 15 second duration. Click powers like Farsight just check once when they're applied, though, they don't update, so you only need Power Boost when first activating the power.

Edit: Typed too slow

I guess it depends on wether or not you ever solo or are just building for maximum team friendlyness, but I'd definitely consider going with Electric Fence slotted as an attack. If you swap World of confusion for it and slot it with Thunderstrike, you don't even lose the defense bonus.

You also skipped the AOE immoblize which, I feel, is a big mistake. If you plan on incarnating, and going with an interface that has a dot...your AOE immobilize will suddenly do OMGWTFBBQ levels of damage, to the point of wiggling down entire spawns' HP to nothing in seconds.

Speaking of incarnating, Clarion is a much better choice of mez protection imo - first of all, it is perma without needing to dedicate any slots to it, unlike indomitable will, and much higher mag protection. It also leaves you free to choose another epic pool.

I think 3 pure end mods in conductive aura is a bit overkill, I'd put the 3rd into Stamina. Hasten is also perma just with 2 recharge IOs, so you have another slot to spare.

Do you stay much at range that you need it capped? I find that 32% on ranged/meelee is enough, with Time's Juncture's providing the debuffs to put me at proper defense cap (or to cap with a small purple in emergencies). But then, I play my Elec/time as a scraptroller and charge into spawns.
Thank you for this. There's a lot of really great ideas in here that didn't occur to me. I didn't realize Clarion gives you perma mez protection. If that's the case, I'll definitely want to go that route and probably switch epics. I also wasn't taking into consideration the damage potential of the AoE Immobilize. I never selected it because I didn't feel it meshed well with the AoE Sleep. I actually do a lot of soloing, which is frustratingly slow right now, of course. I'm hoping Psionic Tornado will speed that up once I hit 48 and can slot it.

Thank you to everyone for your comments. A lot to consider.
