I skipped Chain Induction too. I can't tell you wether this is a good idea or not since I never tried it to begin with. |

BrandX, I can just about guarantee I can't do that, sorry. Dropping one of the first two is a bit too unconventional an idea for my simple little mind to be comfortable with.
Figure the powers I see as potentially on the chopping block are Jake, Chain, or Thunder Strike.
Thanks,

I had a great time playing with you!
I wouldn't skip Chain Induction or Thunderstrike.

Well, Havok Punch is the worst DPA attack, and in i22, Assassin Strike can be used as a regular attack.|

Jacob's Ladder also has better DPA than Havok Punch.
Electric Melee's best DPS chain (untill i22 and Assassin Strike can be used as a regular attack for lots and lots of damage) is Charged Brawl - Jacob's Ladder - Charged Brawl - Chain Induction.
One of Electric Melee's other draws is all that AOE.
Jacob's Ladder, Chain Induction, Thunder Strike and Lightning Rod! Can't give those up! those are the AOE attacks!

BrandX said all that needs to be said. I skipped Havoc Punch and don't miss it at all.
It's one of the few sets I'd recommend taking the shorter-recharge power of the first two tiers (Energy Melee is another with Energy Punch over Barrage), and for the same reason: the faster one is a better attack chain filler in every imaginable way.

Yes, but I tend to skip weapon sets as a matter of course due to aesthetics (I don't like how it changes the animations for running/jumping/etc) so I would've had to actually check something before posting. I knew off the top of my head that Energy Punch was better than Barrage. |

I guess I'll go back and edit the other post to say "another" instead of "the other". >.>

Dont skip Chain Induction!
Some changes were made, so if the main target dies in the first hit, the chain will jump for at least 2 more mobs.
Awesome!
I hate Thunderstrike animation with passion but it hits so hard I cant skip it.
Skipped Havoc on both my Elec/Ea and Elec/Regen and never missed it.
I always skip one of the two initial attacks on scraps and stalkers.
