| Help with Electric Melee/Electric Armor Brute |
|

|
Hi. Been lurking in the shadows reading guides and laughing at people's jokes for a while, but've only just bothered to register an account. Anyways. I'm looking for help building an Elec/Elec Brute. Currently, he's at level 11. The Build for him I had envisioned is this:
1 Havoc Punch
1 Charged Armor - 2 dmg, 2 acc, 1 end
2 Jacobs Ladder - 2 dmg, 2 acc, 1 end
4 Conductive Field - 1 res, 1 end
6 Build Up - 1 recharge
8 Thunder Strike - 2 dmg, 2 acc, 1 end
10 Swift - 1 run speed
11 *Current level*
12 Combat Jumping - 1 jump
14 Super Jump - 2 jump
16 Health - 2 health
18 Grounded - 1 res
20 Stamina - 2 end mod
22 Chain Induction - 2 dmg, 2 acc, 1 end
24 Lightning Reflexes - 1 run
26 Static Shield - 1 res, 1 end
28 Taunt - 1 range
30 Conserve Power - 1 recharge
32 Lightning Rod - 2 dmg, 2 acc, 1 end
35 Power Sink - 1 end modification, 1 recharge
38 Power Surge - 2 res, 1 end
40 Aid Other - 1 heal
41 Mu Lightning - 2 dmg, 2 acc, 1 range
44 Ball Lightning - 2 dmg, 2 acc, 1 end
47 Summon Striker - 1 recharge
49 Aid Self - 2 heal
I'd seen some similar builds elsewhere, but wanted to see how mine compared. It's PvE based, as only time I expect to do in PvP is running Shiva Strike and Warburg launch. Anyways, any help would be greatly appreciated. My Reduce Endurance Cost slotting (end) might be a bit excessive, so i might replace them with no slot or recharge. any and all help is appreciated. Thanks. :)

First off, there is no power choice at lvl 40, so you have to take that into account on your build. Secondly, I'd definitely try to get Aid Self in somewhere in the 20s or 30s, just because you'll need it most then. Perhaps put Conserve Power off, as Power Sink will help ya out a bit when ya need it to. Also, you could put off taunt, and that would help ya get Aid Self in sooner.

Okay, thanks. Taking WP's advice with Aid Self into consideration, I think I'd revise it as such:
Powers
1 Havoc Punch
1 Charged Armor - 2 dmg, 2 acc, 1 end
2 Jacobs Ladder - 2 dmg, 2 acc, 1 end
4 Conductive Field - 1 res, 1 end
6 Build Up - 1 recharge
8 Thunder Strike - 2 dmg, 2 acc, 1 end
10 Swift - 1 run speed
11 *Current level*
12 Combat Jumping - 1 jump
14 Super Jump - 2 jump
16 Health - 2 health
18 Grounded - 1 res
20 Stamina - 2 end mod
22 Chain Induction - 2 dmg, 2 acc, 1 end
24 Static Shield - 1 res, 1 end
26 Aid Other - 1 heal
28 Power Sink - 1 end modification, 1 rech
30 Aid Self - 2 heal
32 Lightning Rod - 2 dmg, 2 acc, 1 end
35 Taunt - 1 Range
38 Power Surge - 2 res, 1 end
41 Conserve Power - 1 recharge
44 Mu Lightning - 2 dmg, 2 acc, 1 range
47 Ball Lightning - 2 dmg, 2 acc, 1 end
49 Summon Striker - 1 recharge
Putting off getting Patron Pools, because from experience with other characters, it seems like they're mostly just a novelty (though not on Stalkers - Sniper attacks + Hide rules). And thanks for noting no level 40 Power, Warron. Not sure what I was thinking about.

I've a minor obsession with Stalkers. Maybe not minor.

Anytime. I'm here to help. And I like what you did with the build. Looks alot more solid now. And about patrons, the only Patron Powers I find even remotely worthwhile are the Mezzes (Immobs and Holds). Anything that can act as extra damage mitigation is a good thing.
W.P.

All right. My Hard-Drive's crashed, so I won't be able to play him for a while (posting from someone else's computer), but once I do, I'll be able to level up a bit and use this build. Thanks for the input, everyone :)

Went with Scirrocco as patron for obvious reasons. Got aid self pretty early, but wanted it earlier.
Made the attacks for damage and end mod, but with a few variations where i thought they would be appropiate.
Power sink is used alot. Would be good in a duel against another melee class, using it often along with your attacks would leave anyone drained :P.
And this is just what my build would be, some advice that could be considered for your use. Hope its up to par with the others
