Build Review Electric DPS

Hello, been away a while. Came back and saw my endgame DPS has a couple of missing powers and free reset token available. I think all my roster has a free respec token. This is my attempt to rebuild her, what do you think?

Some questions, what are the go to AO and AD now that they share the same cooldown? I think some of my old toons still have ES with NM.

    AOs and ADs share cds w/ other AOs or ADs, but not with each other (so popping Resurgence won't mean that you can't use an AO, etc). AOs generally aren't that strong atm, though, so I wouldn't put getting one as a high priority (maybe you'd want a threat wipe or another CC instead, but it's up to you). Anyways, I would prob trade Rebirth for Thundering Return, to avoid the former's self-dmg. Otherwise, the build is mostly fine for a dps-oriented one.

    I see, thank you for the clarification and suggestion. That means it is redundant now to get two AOs or two ADs, but one of each is still fine. L&L is still ok then, others I'm thinking about are either Imbue or the one from ice set. I saw MD now needs to be ranked. What's a good threat wipe that doesn't need adv pts, if there are any? Ok, I'll get Thundering Return then.

    Most threat wipes work just fine at R1, though in Elec's case you'd prob want one w/ upto 100ft reach. There's a few powers that aren't innately threat wipes can become one w/ a special adv (ie. at least 2 adv points spent), but you don't necc need to get one of those. In Elec's case, there's already a 100ft threat wipe in the set, conveniently (Blinding Light).

    That's convenient. Thanks!
