with a resist set you want to build for defense...period. Get to at least 32.5% S/L 40% if you can and 45% if at all possible. If you can make E/N close to 45% while you do it even better...
You won't be able to positionally softcap ELA, but that would be ideal if you could.

Survivable in what sense?
Against regular content, my DM/Elec sailed through most of it with few problems which weren't self-inflicted (like trying to gather up three groups to fight all at once). Heck, it felt like I was cheating a lot of the time.

Call me crazy...but my idea of an average survivability toon runs +4/x8 without chewing up tons of pez. Soloing AVs is not out of the realm of possibility nor are pylon runs or incarnate trials without a single death. Perhaps not everyone thinks this way...but if I am soloing and I can't pull 3 groups and it be nearly routine...I feel the build/set is somehow deficient.

As goes the three group bit, the problem wasn't with being unable to handle them, it was in the gathering. I spent too much time trying to get one group of range happy opponents to follow me to the next group before realizing they weren't following and thinking to use line of sight to get them to gather up and not enough time noticing my health was going down from the ranged attacks. As I noted, the problem was self-inflicted--failure to notice health, not three groups being a problem. Elsewhere on the map I quite happily had three group's worth of guys on me.

I would say that superior performance would be running +4/x8 with out pez against any mob...except perhaps an occasional blue as I can understand endurance is not always something you have a ton of with every set...especially with 3 mobs gathered.

Hi, been working on some new toons and now it's time for this. I've spent hours on mids trying to come up with a build that's survivable. But so far nothing. My question is. Should I IO for defense or go with pure resistance and how survivable are elec armor brutes
