  For your support build, maybe Electrical Current (Bad Wiring) would be of use. Provides lots of stuns for Sentinel Mastery

  That's a great idea, I think I saw it suggested while searching the fourms, likely by you. I forgot to implement it, but that's definitely a good idea!

  I prob would use Ball Lit (w/ Trip adv) in these builds, since it'll be very nice when paired w/ Power Source, Elec Siphon, and/or Ionic Reverb. If keeping Storm Summoner, I'd prob get the Magnetic adv. I may also change the Tank build to using Con PSS (though End PSS has some merits), among a few other things. Here's an edit of the Tank build:
  
  Short Circuit v3 - Freeform (Tank)
  v3.44:36

  A hybrid-dps build is okay, if you don't mind the hit to base dps, but a ranged dps build could just use NW and not slot the Sneak-related powers (if it's not thematic). W/o those powers used, NW is just a passive dmg buff that you don't have to worry about. Anyways, you'd want a good single-target attack, which you don't really have in that build atm. I'm unsure if which set you want to use for it, but you'd prob want to build around either Incinerate or LArc, and maybe just use the other set for AoE or w/e.

  A support build would be a bit tricky, since you wouldn't really want to skip on things like reses or normal heals just to make Elec Siphon and Absorb Heat work. Here's a way to cram them into one healer build, though:
  
  (Unnamed Build) - Freeform (Support)
  v3.44:36
  
  Super Stats
  Level 6: Presence (Primary)
  Level 10: Endurance (Secondary)
  Level 15: Constitution (Secondary)
  
  Talents
  Level 1: The Witch (Con: 10, Int: 8, Pre: 10, Rec: 10)
  Level 6: Prodigy (Pre: 5, End: 5)
  Level 9: Amazing Stamina (Rec: 5, End: 5)
  Level 12: Lasting Impression (Pre: 5, Rec: 5)
  Level 15: Shrug It Off (Con: 5, Pre: 5)
  Level 18: Quick Recovery (Con: 5, Rec: 5)
  Level 21: Boundless Reserves (Con: 5, End: 5)
  
  Powers
  Level 1: Eldritch Bolts
  Level 1: Compassion
  Level 6: Aura of Primal Majesty (Rank 2, Rank 3)
  Level 8: Ionic Reverberation
  Level 11: Warmth (Rank 2, Rank 3)
  Level 14: Ball Lightning (Triplicity)
  Level 17: Electrical Siphon (Rank 2, Rank 3)
  Level 20: Will-o'-the-Wisp (Guide, Ghost Fire)
  Level 23: Absorb Heat (Rank 2, Rank 3)
  Level 26: Storm Summoner (Magnetic)
  Level 29: Lightning Arc (Rank 2, Rank 3)
  Level 32: Rise From the Ashes (Rank 2, Spreading Flames)
  Level 35: Electric Shield (Rank 2)
  Level 38: Fiery Embrace
  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 (3/3)
  Sentinel: Genesis (1/2)
  Sentry: Fortified Gear (2/3)
  Sentry: Precise (3/3)
  Sentry: Sentry Aura (3/3)
  Sentry: Fortify (2/2)
  Mastery: Presence Mastery (1/1)
  
  Warmth can be a normal ally/self heal (picked it just cause I figured it was thematic enough), to help supplement all the background and AoE heals you have going. Also has reses and setups for Elec Siphon and Absorb Heat available. Gears mostly for Pres, w/ some Con and End_Rec.

  Thanks, very helpful as always. I will go with the tank build after all. I will incorporate your suggestions and Jaaz's, skipping Thunderclap in favor of Electrical Current.
  
  As for the PSS, I liked the idea of END, since the energy on hit should not be needed and the heal on crit from CON specs should be trivialized by the Sentinel Mastery + the signature heals.
  
  The hero is still at lvl 20-something, but the revision should make him playable nonetheless.
  
  How do I share the image from Drive or Dropbox? I keep getting a broken link.... is it because it's a .png?

  Okay, well you may want to re-order the powers a bit if you're just at lvl 20 w/ it. Something like:
  Powers
  Level 1: Electric Bolt
  Level 1: Ionic Reverberation
  Level 6: Power Source
  Level 8: Storm Summoner (Rank 2, Magnetic, Challenge!)
  Level 11: Invulnerability (Rank 2, Rank 3)
  Level 14: Ball Lightning (Triplicity)
  Level 17: Electrical Siphon (Rank 2, Rank 3)
  Level 20: Lightning Arc (Rank 2, Rank 3, Challenge!)
  
  Should be fine by high/max lvl, either way.

  You should still be able to post png files. After you've uploaded the image somewhere online, copy the image's full web address/url, click the "Image" option in the edit text features above your post (where Bold, Italic, etc.. are), and paste the web address/url for the image in there (or paste the address directly into your post and put the [img][/img] tags around it).

  Yeah ty, I had to extract the real url, but all the times it was getting cropped in the img linker above, so I used the tags as you suggested.
