Electric FF Rebuild Advice

Hi,

This used to be one of my more powerful characters and one of the first I had in the game. There have been some framework changes and I wanted to know if there is something I'm missing to make her top notch again. She used to rely on Concentration, but there is a new form "Power Source". Is it better to take now on Electric based characters than Concentration? It used to have Conviction but I wanted to try Electrical Siphon as a team heal rather than just myself. I added Thundering Return which is new for the character and changed to Electric Sheath from Ego Surge. Are the Super Stats and Specs still good to take? Thanks

    It is probably just my inept play style, but I can't get used to the close in melee action. I have been trying it out during the High Noon event at the towers and I tried the rotation and I keep getting smoked quick like, even when blocking.

    How should I revamp the toon again for the more traditional ranged DPS style to make her a ranged damage powerhouse again?

    Thanks

    Here's a core for a ranged electric build. Remaining slots should include a block replacer (pretty much any) and an AoE (both gigabolt and lightning storm are viable), traditionally remaining slots would include things like active defenses and offenses and various utility powers. Play style is ball lightning, chain lightning until you have negative ions, then a rotation of ball lightning, two full maintains of lightning arc, and back to ball lightning. Gear mostly for End. Doesn't need Con because you get End*4 extra hit points.
