Elec/EA feedback


Kazz

 

Posted

So I have an Elec/EA scrapper that's insanely fun so far (and much better than his /SR original form) and I wanted to get a little feedback on my planned build. I'd rather not take hasten if that's at all possible, and I am utterly clueless as to the incarnate stuff (aside from Ion judgement). Any thoughts or comments? Even a "you suck, do it this way!" would make me less clueless.

I think I've landed on Agility for him, for the recharge (better attacks and lower downtime on Energize), the End Mod (better sapping with his electric attacks and more oomph for Energy Drain) and the Defense (even easier softcapping, delicious).

For Interface I was going to go with... damn, I can't remember the name now, the Radial version of the one that has a chance for End Drain , with an energy DoT. Again, for theme and because I think it sounds more fun than reactive.

Any thoughts on the build and what Destiny would be best? I'm so clueless when it comes to those...

Looks nice to me. And Agility is a good choice, especially for incarnate stuff.

1) I'd pick Hasten mostly because of Energize than any other power. L.Rod benefits a lot too, but 34 secs is a good recharge time for LR, and you'll have more with the +rech from Entropic.

2) Swap the heal/end with a heal from the DW set in Energize.

3) For more global rech, you can put 5 oblits + a Kinetic crash rech/end in Lighting Rod.

4) Are you sure you need Air Sup? You have Havok Punch, JL, TS, CI and Mu Bolts already. Looks like too many attacks that can be used as ST to me. My ELM Stalker is good enough with Charged Brawl (I like it better than Havok), Jacobs, Chain Induction and T-Strike even before IOs.

5) For even more global recharge, you can slot Ball Lightning with 5 posis + 1 rech IO - it'll recharge only 1.1 second more than your current setup but all the other powers will benefit.

I have thought about it, but.. ugh, I cannot STAND the glow on Hasten unless the rest of the character has orange-scheme powers and the like. I'd rather have a 14 second downtime on Energize. Plus, with saturated Entropic Aura it's reduced to 9 seconds, and the FF proc in Thunderstrike should shorten that every so often.

I actually hadn't thought about that. Good idea!

Normally I stay the hell away from Oblits because of the end cost, but for a very long-recharging attack like LR I may consider it. It hadn't ocurred to me.

Well, I have heard (and felt) that Elec Melee can really be painful in the ST department to counterbalance it's awesome AoE. When I get my free respec for unlocking Mu powers, I may give it a go just with Havok, losing both Air Sup and CB.

I did think about that, but last time I looked at Posi's the price made me cringe. All the LotGs in the build are already going to set me back a pretty penny (a very large, very expensive penny). I'll have to think about it.

Thanks!

The Posis aren't that expensive (you can bid for lower on the recipes and wait some since they usually have a lot of supply), Oblits are way more. If you play the toon a lot you can run the SSAs to get expensive recipes. The ones that really make me cry with the prices are Kin Combats. The Erad quad is more expensive than any Posis iirc.

I understand your position on Hasten... I don't like it on my Db/Elec scrapper and my Stone/Elec brute, especially the DB one since the wields two thin blades and the glowing hands look ugly. Hell I think I dislike the effect on almost all my toons, I was glad I managed to skip it on my energy/ice blaster (she has a good attack chain on SOs and sh'es an all 'pink' theme toon, so Hasten would look horrible - well thinking about it, Hasten always looked horrible on my IO'ed Dark/Dark scrapper, had her before power customization and all the dark powers with the glow... eesh).

I actually have three full sets of Kinetic Combats lined up, funnily enough. I've gotten very lucky on my ticket rolls this past week.

I already have the Erad quad from A-merits (as well as two LotG uniques) so that shouldn't be too excruciating. I am definitely staying the hell away from Oblits though.

I know, right? I'm having a hard enough time reconciling the Mu powers being red while all his other powers are blue.

Oh well, Ball Lightning makes me giggle so it'll be worth it.
