Ooh thats strange, the build I made in mids yesterday doesn't show a taunt component, but when I create a new toon it does show! I haven't updated mids so that is confusing!
2.3 seconds unenhancable is sadly a bit weak, but probably enough to keep me playing the set (And better than WP), and I am really enjoying playing DB again (I forgot how fun it was!).

I made my first /EA scrapper yesterday with the Staff primary. Happy to see all these positive reviews of the set. I am at 29 now so will stick with it to 50.

I think the brute version might serve you better. You can play with your recharge numbers with a staff/ea like no other melee combo and get some really high recharge out of it. Would make it possible to play with things like Overlord and get you to the HP cap, if only for 180 seconds out of 200.

Thanks in advance. |

On a build that has 217.5% global recharge, plus Agility and 3 +5 IO's in Overload I can only get it down to 224s.|

Still that isn't to bad (Though it is a pretty extreme recharge build with only 104s recharge on Hasten - the double stacking will probably drop Overload's recharge to less than 220s), and Ageless can cover any crashes (Or blue + Energy Drain) if you care to use it. Personally I hate crashes because toggles dropping means death.
Edit: A better strategy would be Barrier when you see the icon flicker, then blue + Energy Drain to cover the crash, and it is now looking tempting! Though you would still have 16 seconds downtime to retoggle every time it crashed. It would definitely let you increase your difficulty significantly, not that you can go over +1 once you have the level shifts so it is probably overkill once you get a good enough build to actually keep Overload on so often.

I've also got a TW/EA brute that can chew through end like nobody's buisness, even with 2 end redux in each aoe attack and at least one in the ST's. Energy Drain is a godsend. Plus, with it's fairly quick base recharge (1 min) it's not hard to get it down to ~30 seconds or less, so it can pretty much be there when you need it. The +def it gives you now is just icing on the cake.
I've never really been big on defensive sets, and tended to lean heavily on resistance, but EA is doing a pretty good job of converting me. So much so i've rolled up a Staff/SR scrapper...and i haven't made an SR toon since shortly after i started playing this game some 6 years ago.
StJ can be heavy on the blue too if you use the aoe finishers a lot (that little orange ring is SUCH a temptation). And many of the other attacks recharge fairly quick. Not as quickly as say, claws, but quickly enough to keep up an almost endless barrage. Coupled with toggle heavy sets...yeah...you WILL burn out PDQ unless you slot for end redux...at least till you get energy drain. Or you roll up a staff/EA toon and lean heavily on form of the soul. Yeah...it's that good.

Scrapper EA does have a taunt aura in Entropic Aura. And personally, I haven't had any problems with it and Energy Cloak.
