Solo Electric Build Help

soulsurreal

I am trying to put together a survivable, solo electric build. This is what I have come up with so far, will be using in hybrid role. Not sure about ball lightning, just didn't know what to use for my last power, maybe another heal? Let me know what you think.

Looks pretty solid overall, given the parameters.

You'd prob be better off using Ionic Reverb here, instead of OD- though I'd prob go w/ a INT/Con/End setup using Preparation, Expertise, Enlightened, and Detect Vuln then (or take INT/Con/Rec or EGO/Con/Rec if sticking to OD).

I'd also get Merciless and Focused Strikes (for LArc) in Vind. Ya can take some points from Rush of Battle, and I tend to prefer the flat crit options (or Offensive Expertise if using 2 AOs) over Modified Gear.

thank you for your help, I adjusted accordingly based on your response. Here is how it looks now, my only question is if I should go with fire snake to get the elemental debuff vs using ball lightning to apply ions. Also, should I put points in locus or retribution/tenacious instead of fortified gear/find the mark?

Well, Locus won't be stacking when ur using LArc for ST dps, so I'd prob just stick w/ Fort Gear + FtM here. Locus is better if ur main attack is an AoE that you also use for ST dps (ex. Fire's Conflag w/ the UA debuff from Fireball, Force Cascade builds, HW builds not using Annihilate, etc).

Also, Electricity dmg is not classed as Elemental type (Fire/Cold/Toxic), but as Energy type (Sonic/Elec/Particle)- so Firesnake won't buff it and thus can be passed up here. You'll want to keep Ball of Lightning w/ Triplicity as ur main way of rolling Negative Ions.

got it, thanks greatly for your advice
