Electric armor vs WP

Electric armor compared to WP tank.

Out the box the WP had the upper hand. It has a max HP buff that comes in handy and in early levels the secondary WP version of stamina becomes available meaning that end is non-issue by level 12. The Electric armor comes out the box with good energy resistance and solid resistance to smash and lethal. In early level, and even in later levels it dont have as much hp and end can be an issue until power sink becomes available at about level 26, a bit after SOs become available. Although in early levels, the electric armor is no slouch since many enemies hero side do lot of energy and or toxic damage. The WP have very little resistance to energy but the hp and regen makes up for it especially later levels.
Mid levels (15-25), electic armor starts closing the gap a bit once SOs cant be slotted making most power sets not seem like a endurance drain. Of course, learning the hard way at first, it's best to not run the damage aura of electric armor too much before power sink, and it's not that useful much prior to that anyways unless it's coupled with electic melee to help with the endurance drain. Lightning field does a little damage and does a little end draining but wont completely drain the end of the mobs anytime soon and by the time it manage to make a dent, the mob is dead anyways. But by this tie electric armor do have a fairly quick recharging heal that helps. I remember the days prior to this and this power helped the set alot. By these levels the electric armor is resistant to most damage and end draining effects but these levels are a little void of enemies that drain end anyways as this comes into play in the later level. The WP by this time has the aura of increasing the regeneration rate, which is very helpful and helps it to survive just about anything here. It is also a taunt aura ( smaller, and can be weaker than other taunt type auras) but who needs taunt aura when I'm solo? lol. It's for the regen for the win here. After level 26, the electric armor's end problems is solved so now it can attack and attack with worry about endurance. When it gets low, pop power sink, and keep going until it recharges again. Another good thing about power sink is that this does effectively drain the endurance of the mob. Not even the mob can attack with no endurance in their bar. WP gets resurgance at 26, a power that I took once, never used and respec out of. It didnt help me much. But this did leave spot open to take another power in it's place and in the place of heightened senses. Usually the WP had tough slotted and used before the electric armor got a chance to use it depending on the secodnary, the electric armor might get it about the same time due to skippage of power choices and or when it's a level where no new power that is needed opens, such as taunt. Who needs taunt when I'm solo. lol. Level 32 the tier 9 power opens. "Gremlin mode" as I call it on the electric armor, called power surge and the strength of will on the WP. The WP gets to skip this power the electric armor usually end up with the power surge power for kicks even though there are very few times when this power is needed and mostly for the special effects. But I did have to mind that crash and watch the icon.
By level 50 they are both about equally strong and equally can take damage from about anything out there that can or rather try to dish it out, whether it's dark powered mobs (CoT and the vampires of the Council), Smash/Lethal (Freaks, and just about anything), Psi (carnies, never shy away from carnie mish wit heither of them) Energy (freaks, crey, incarnate mobs), fire (CoT, Elite Paragon Protectors(crey)), cold (Arcanius, crey, some CoT) it dont matter who (everyone else), they can and have took it and survived no problem. But the WP dont have a built in heal nor is resistance to end drain (sappers) but most of them can be done easy with even with no toggles and popping a quick blue while reclicking the toggles for more threatening mobs of malta. The electric armor just laughs at them before smashing their faces in. There is no glaring downside to either one and both are just as good without having to worry about facign a particular type of mob like on the Invul when it's (oh crap here we go, map full of carnies and bunch of Master Illusionists.).
This is all with only SOs. With IOs, the WP can reach over 3000 hp very cheaply and easily without spending billions. The Electric armor can also gain a good bit of hp with IOs that make it even tougher for mobs to take it down and recharge can help on the electric armor for making the Energize power come up even faster, faster than it it needed as electric armor also comes with Quick reflexes which helps recharge. On the WP the musc. alpha is usually chosen. The electric armor gets either the same or the rechage increase alpha, for more attacking fun and end draining.
In all it's an overall tie but they do it in diffrent ways. Electric armor is resistance and end drain with a heal while the WP get good HP, regeneration of said hp, and resistance and neither one needs a single IO to be good and if IOs is chosen they dont need a billion or two to be even more powerful. This is not the set to naturally get the debt badges as I have to basically have to kill myself to get debt.

You might consider separating your paragraphs a bit better. My eyes sorta crossed at this as it looks like a wall of text...

FYI, there were also a few typos you may wish to fix. I'm horrible at spelling myself, so I always end up catching mine after I've posted... sigh.

Fine. Have fun.

you too.

i like reading of the to your expencies wit armors of power of will and electormns moving about, i reall enjoy electo arm myselfs and are happy orz that you do oso. i tink electonic dance armo will be beastmoly if i can sav enuff monies to purchase the enhancements that arent normal but like you kil moblies and they drop recips and you get slavage and can put them together with a hammer. i do wish ithad blacksmith sound while u make it though like in wow, wow is da bomb dis game way not wow, i am sad orz. anywy my plan is for having edm armor with caped not hard missy skill of 45 percent ftw. enermize was def a huge help, dubstep armo before the change was slackin. only time i have problemos are aganst toxic wich is pretty rare, aside from spiders mobs. and if i see them the tier 9 sees me thru. kina wish graphs was diff tho, i dont like looking like a few standy things of light. don have much sperenz with WP ever1 says is good but i like not having to worry about how many mobs ar around for survivables. come to conemplates, prolly why i never got invulnimators very high neither. most of my dislikes come from more of i cant kill things very fast or do other fun stuff fast either but thats cuz i have a shield icon not any failing of housemusic armor. i find use sink offenzivles is helpful drains a big chunk then light field keeps em drained sometime i use energize just for the end discount

Lol. You are a trip.

I am assuming the gist of your experience is that they are balanced well against each other when using SO's. Looks like the devs nailed it.

Since you mostly solo, may I ask what difficulty you are running at?

Can someone summarize what he wrote? The wall scares me too much to read it.

I'm interested in knowing the answer to Electric Armor vs WP, though.

Electric Armor doesn't like the taste of Devouring Earth. True story.
