Requesting some help with a nerfed build

Hi,

I brought out one of my more fun support builds as it could heal and hold its own at the same time. It was built on a combination of AoRP/Electricity, and even an ice power for a Hold/Stun to proc Sentinel Mastery. But power progressions in the framework have required a full rework now. I was trying to keep her theme, but I am at a loss right now since splitting the frameworks won't allow picking the same powers. Looking at her powers, I'm not sure if some have actually changed, because I thought I had 2 Procs for Sentinel Mastery???

I would like her to stay in the Support role, but with the new power progressions, I am unable to see a way to stay with the Storm theme of Electric support that has at least a couple of Holds/Stuns to proc Sentinel Mastery heals. Are the Wind frameworks better than they used to be? Maybe Ice?

Here was her original Build from the Powerhouse...

    I think the build can be better now since the Elec revamp added stuff. A special adv on Elec Current cna give you an AoE stun now. Electrocute can also proc hold-related stuff (and put up Superconductor). Elec Siphon is a newer power that can be added to your healing repertoire.

    Here's an example of an Elec Support w/AoRP:

    Super Stats

    Level 1: The Hero (Str: 8, Dex: 8, Con: 8, Int: 8, Ego: 8, Pre: 8, Rec: 6, End: 6)
    Level 6: Shrug It Off (Con: 5, Pre: 5)
    Level 9: Boundless Reserves (Con: 5, End: 5)
    Level 12: Prodigy (Pre: 5, End: 5)
    Level 15: Quick Recovery (Con: 5, Rec: 5)
    Level 18: Lasting Impression (Pre: 5, Rec: 5)
    Level 21: Amazing Stamina (Rec: 5, End: 5)

    Powers
    Level 1: Electric Bolt
    Level 1: Electrical Current (Rank 2, Bad Wiring)
    Level 6: Ionic Reverberation
    Level 8: Aura of Radiant Protection (Rank 2, Rank 3)

    Level 14: Electrocute (Superconductor)
    Level 17: Conviction (Rank 2, Reverence)
    Level 20: Iniquity (Rank 2, Rank 3)
    Level 23: Thunderstrike (Ionic Compression, Recharge)
    Level 26: Electrical Siphon (Rank 2, Rank 3)
    Level 29: Electric Shield (Rank 2)
    Level 32: Lightning Arc (Rank 2, Rank 3)
    Level 35: Redemption (Salvation)
    Level 38: Thundering Return
    Adv. Points: 34/36

    Travel Powers
    Level 6:
    Level 35:

    Specializations
    Presence: Repurpose (3/3)
    Presence: Selfless Ally (2/2)
    Presence: Moment of Glory (3/3)
    Presence: Force of Will (2/2)
    Sentinel: Caregiver (3/3)
    Sentinel: Sentinel Aura (3/3)
    Sentinel: Moment of Need (2/3)
    Sentinel: Wither (2/2)
    Overseer: Administer (2/3)
    Overseer: Ruthless (2/2)
    Overseer: Impact (2/2)
    Overseer: Trapped (3/3)
    Overseer: Conservation (1/2)
    Mastery: Sentinel Mastery (1/1)

    Electrocute can hold and debuff. TStrike can proc a root (for Trapped) and a self-heal. Elec Current can be spammed if you want to proc stuns and/or AoE. Elec Siphon and Conviction can help heal allies around you, and Iniquity is your main tank and ally heal. I kept LArc in there in case you wanted a decent single-target attack when you don't need to heal or debuff. Gears mostly for Pres, w/ some Con and End/Rec.

    Very nice. Thank you. I was wondering about Hurricane as it was always good if you get mobbed, but I don't see a power I can afford to loose to take it. Think it will run Alerts fine without it?

    Hurricane is a nice pbAoE to grind easy mobs with, but it also leaves you more open to attacks in Alerts, and the repels/KD could be annoying to some teammates. You can do fine w/ any frontal cone power- esp it if has a stun.
