Well, I'm no expert with /Elec but I do know /WP. To start off, it'll be cheaper to cap s/l defense on /WP. However, one of the main downsides to /WP after it's IOed is that you don't have anything (aside from Strength of Will) to hit when things go pear shaped (which won't happen all that often). If you're being sapped you don't have an endurance boost power and if you're low on health you have no heal. Soft-capping e/n defense (which can be costly), and with incarnate powers (like Rebirth Radial Epiphany), you can overcome most situations but with /WP's poor DDR you will occasionally run into cascading defense failure. Fortunately, I can tell you that even though defense failure is a possibility, my StJ/WP brute with a t4 Rebirth has been able to regen through every tough spot so far. And if you're really in trouble, well, that's what inspirations are for ^.~
Hey all, I've been away from the game for a month dealing with the final weeks of school among other things. Now that I'm back I want to try to finish leveling one of my two brutes, a lvl 28 Stj/Elec and a lvl 39 Stj/Will. I am very familiar with /Elec, having 2 other level 50 brutes with that set ao I know all about it but I was curious to how willpower compared to it in the endgame. I have searched the pages but cant seem to really find anything that clearly states the advantages and disadvantages of each, so I was hoping someone could help me out. I will probably only finish lvling one and I don't care if I level another /elec as long as I get a lot of playing time out of him at lvl 50. I'll also probably IO out which ever one I level and I dont exactly have a surplus of inf stashed away anywhere so thats a factor as well. Anyone have any suggestions?
