So Im trying to do a Range Tank build with Elec as its main focus, and mixed with another powerset, Im not sure what works well with Elec, Im not sure where to start.

Well, you could mix in some Wind powers, maybe, though pure Elec is good on its own. Here's one example build:

Specializations
Constitution: Unyielding (1/2)
Constitution: Fuel My Fire (3/3)
Constitution: Resilient (2/2)
Constitution: Adrenaline Rush (2/2)
Constitution: Armored (2/2)
Guardian: Fortified Gear (3/3)
Guardian: Ruthless (2/2)
Guardian: Find the Mark (3/3)
Guardian: The Best Defense (2/3)
Protector: Fortified Gear (3/3)
Protector: Beacon of Hope (1/3)
Protector: Unrelenting (1/2)
Protector: Bulwark (2/2)
Protector: Defensive Expertise (3/3)
Mastery: Constitution Mastery (1/1)

If you don't want to scatter KB trash w/ Hurricane, then you can always cancel its channel before it finishes. Hurricane doesn't have Challenge available, though Elec Siphon can be a nice heal and can apply Challenge around you instead. Regardless, Ball Lit is good to keep up for the extra dmg and debuff apply/refresh in the background. LArc is ofc the main single-target attack, and you can put up Superconductor w/ Chain Lit too (and refresh it w/ Ball Lit). Could also go for Protector Mastery here. Gears mostly for Con, w/ some End (for Power Source), and maybe some Rec (or Dex).
