Here's my build for the same powersets. I'm gonna rely on spamming Energize and will not be taking power sink. If at any point I find the build to have some kind of End Problem, I can just switch from Form of the Body to Form of the Soul and get more end-discount and a regen/recov buff, problem solved. I'm planning on Form of the Body and Resilient Core Paragon for maximum resists across the board in Elec Armor.

How to suck at CoX
Literally the Best Build Ever: Years in the Making
This looks good. Thank you for posting. I didnt occur to me to get the invis pool.
Couple of questions..
Does it pay to invest in health regen for resist sets?
When you place the luck of the gambler IOs, do you need to use those powers to gain the recharge?
If you divide an IO set across a couple of powers, do you still get the benefit of the set?
@Haiku
I did some major tweaking.....PVE softcapped S/L/M defense without Guarded Spin. With Guarded Spin, you are softcapped to Lethal and almost Melee for iTrial content. Very good +Recharge and END recovery as well. Might want to double check my Rule of Five observance...but I think I kept within the limits. I did make use of one purple and its a costly one (the Glad Armor +3 DEF). You can live without it if you wish and still stay softcapped to S/L for PVE purposes (and almost for Melee also). Just spam your Guarded Spin.
Having leveled a TW/Elec Brute into iTrial content, I think you are better off with high DEF even at the expense of lower resists. Attacks you don't absorb (even at reduced costs) are better than those you do. That's why I'm not that fond of the two builds posted above mine. The defense is lacking and, more importantly to me, strengthening your shields isn't happening until late game. This would make leveling very difficult, even "spamming Energize." While a great idea, anything you are spamming that isn't killing the bad guys is less efficient. This is rule number one from the Farmers Bible to Fire Broots and a lesson I've learned well. Energize is great...but if you are gonna spam, spam an attack.

What the above makes up for in great defense, it lacks in Knockback Protection. Knockback is seldom life-threatening, but it does annoy the crap out of me in those times when I find myself playing Tank for the team or, more commonly when trying to hold an AV's aggro. So if you are willing to lose a little defense (still softcapped to PVE for S/L, and at 43% for Melee) you can try this slightly modified build instead. It may be overkill on KB protection for most PVE content but in the iTrials I found myself getting knocked back more than was acceptable. | Copy & Paste this data into Mids' Hero Designer to view the build | |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |MxDz;1582;722;1444;HEX;| |78DA65944953135110C7DF64264242582210206C2101C14006A2DE2D11B014A2512| |C0F6EA95478242943263519ABE4E857F0C24965753BF851DC15BF817A70B9A3C6CE| |EB3F26554955F2EBE9E9EE7FBF9ECE24EECDF95E9EBB7F5A682D670BE97239356BD| |F75A4F7AACCE48A56C1CAAE0BFA742C3BE9D5D5D07C416642B3B665394DE40CAAC8| |544216A43455406A219FCD39F96276806FCDC955592C4BB39AE7D8F94CEA8CBD66D| |9FEF3C59CB465D1310F0D6FD2B20AE67249CA9556651ED6F1A9AB25992ED145FBE1| |C58AB4CBB97CA96FBE94CF98F3456967D7538974D991F63A77DF4BDD99F47D3522F| |0A9E8624F17226E08EF2EB377070C0AC59D6A98A6620D3144C6B8218C30F3C83038| |C20CF610070DF19AEA6BC8D136B99E6B0BDC661ADD9A621C3A7B049D73741D3ACDA| |8DF8CFA5EE8EE52949B63DDEE0397CAEFF80DFE611EFD0B56985D8275DF526F4D9C| |5B7942BF1E687AA0198066109A3168BEA1BC169E99BB059A3E68FAA0D906CD36688| |6A019A1B568E55CD1DACFBEA774D5CEDAA2FD04FB3E91861F1AFE873C978147CCA1| |C7E026B8C50C6D33C3A4D1C9F5B4CE49E482CF08DDD0EA8EB14FA3F81EEC404F921| |036C4F1CBE0157099B94F7DF5A1AF3E9C3D84B34770F608CE3A8AB38F62163AE9F4| |63C6FD987114338E62B651CCDAA0D8419C61B08BF723863DF94C3D0CA387E1EB42C| |58FDC006F82B79891DBCCD114F379F5189C6B84935C6FFC12980017B18F17992F28| |7A4C2D7E451F5BE3B31CBB03E6C11C33407D4F60BE13E8F723F53B89F94E226FAA0| |0226F0A75FD946FE2DC26CE3D8D3A1E5A8819D49ED9E0F801A3EEFF8B67378D6737| |8D6717C7B38BD662AB2B5FA12A0D9E7883E76483E7548367A1E6A92C35DC4D1A786| |D9047531E4F87A8EE888AFFEEFDFF6F17BABAFBB3E6D1F40BBC0F5DD778063F1AA2| |7FD53C2E1D53093C60C642BCE15F02B5FEBED6D9DFEAEC77D5B701ECF775F6873AF| |B80E2E3B0F73BC9C6DB63A3CEFE0715D809E9| |-------------------------------------------------------------------|
As a bonus, I added in a Kismet for a nice To-Hit bonus, and two procs to Guarded Spin (Smash and Lethal chances). Nice to have considering how often you'll be using this power.

At 32 I still feel really squishy, but I am hoping come 50+ I can improve my survivability.
Any guidance with ELA especially is greatly appreciated.
I am not listing any purples as I am primarily concerned with a solid foundation first, then over time I will work on the purple sets and incarnates.
Thank you for taking time to look over my build.
