Electric-Beastial Build

jaazaniah1

Just toying with this as a concept. Not any real synergy between the sets, so electricty is mainly to provide some utility and a bit of extra damage, while beastial is for main damage.

Eh, even if Elec may not have direct synergy w/ some other sets, Sparkstorm's toggle works pretty well w/ melee builds cause they want to be up-close anyways (also helps w/ Elec Siphon, since you have to be w/in range for its heal to proc). It is a nice way to match theme w/ function for any melee build that can rationalize having some Elec power (Storm Summoner w/ its pull-in adv can also be nice for melee, but just for AoE).

Anyways, that build can work, as long as energy is fine. You could switch to using Ionic Reverb, though, assuming you have good uptime on Sparkstorm's toggle and Ball Lit (and then you don't need to lean on powers or advs that Bleed as much).

Thanks Flow. Sparkstorm and Balls are go-tos for melee builds which want a little electricity. Wish there were a few other options, but such is life. I'm going to see which EU works best. Not like they have any notiacable visual effects to worry about. Also have to check to see what electricty auras I have about
