What to match with /EA?

Over the past month I’ve been building a few (too many) alts. I want to keep the /Energy Armor, but I have a KM/EA, FM/EA and a brute who is SS/EA. This is not the full list of the alts I’ve created, just that I want to keep the /EA concept. I mostly solo and would like something for “all content”. I don't want a weapon on this toon, I already have a couple and I'm looking for a energy power kind of toon.

Help me pick!!!

I’m thinking of staying with FM/EA. I’ve turned the fire into a plasma energy theme. However, I guess the problem is I don’t know what KM/EA is like at level 50. It’s a nice set, but I just have too many alts.

Advice?

Give Street Justice/EA a try. I've got a ~15 alt that does pretty well with that combo.




@Amarlex in game, on the Virtue server.

oh, I forgot... I have a level 18 or so StJ/EA too. It's a nice combo, but I'm looking for something with a bit more AoE.

Go Titan/EA and never look back.

So much win; so much AoE.

Whirling Smash == Footstomp for scrappers. Seriously. Cannot go wrong with this combo.

Early levels are little slow as /EA has some of the most expensive toggles in a non-damage aura defense set, so before you get Energize and Energy Drain you'll be chugging blues.

Once you hit 35 though it's just rediculous fun.

I haven't played many levels of it, but I'm really enjoying WM/EA. ELM/EA is also pretty fun. I'd recommend either if you're looking for a bit more AoE.

Kinetic Melee/Energy Aura

You're golden.


It's the end. But the moment has been prepared for ...

I have a Claws/EA Brute that uses the Vanguard claws set.

Thanks folks, I think I'm going to continue with my KM/EA toon for a bit. I will always wonder about KM until I get him higher level.

I have a claws/Inv, SS/inv, WM/SD, Kat/WP and DM/WP which is why I'm not picking those primary powers. That being said, DM/EA does sound like a special combo.

again, thanks!

Please do some research before you post something like this. All the EA toggle are .26 end per second which is an average end cost for a defensive toggle and shared with like 15 other toggles among all the other armor sets.


Level 50s: to many to remember at this point

I will admit to poor wording, but please look up the very long Dark Armor discussion that occured recently which detailed the numbers pretty much as I described. Once you start to factor in the number of toggles in use, /EA is rather expensive before it gets Energize and Drain.

Dark and Shield are .21 - Elec, Fire, and EA are .26, and get endurance mitigation tools. SR is .26 and doesn't get them.

Also please check the definition of "some."

Then there are the non-toggle-intensive sets, further pushing the cost of EA towards the higher end. Again speaking strictly before end mitigation tools are available. Like I said, after 35, the problem is non existant. It takes Tough, Weave, Manuvers, Assault, and Tactics for me to start feeling like I am burning too much blue.

I will grant that /EA lacks the toggles which are the most end intensive: dmg auras, CoF, and so on.
