    Instead of going Might, how about using the Power Armor's Laser Sword stuff and replace Stormbringer with Electric Form?

    I think the OP wants an electric brute/tank from CoH. They were apparently supposed to be fun to play.

    I had one of these before the Enraged nerf that worked pretty well, but since then, there are too few synergies between Might and Electricity to make it a very efficient hybrid. Might/Fire works better due to the considerable debuffs and subsequent DPS increase in Fire.

    I like what you're doing. Using Ionic Reverberation with Ball Lightning is a creative way to give Might a background energy battery.

    Gradii's suggestion of a REC superstat is a good one, to give Ionic Reverberation a larger return. While Electricity and Might don't have a huge number of synergies, a fun one is that the root from Ionic Compression provides a control status for Roomsweeper, turning its knockback into knockup.

    I think it would be worth putting more spec points toward severity-boosting specs, since you can get a respectable crit chance from gear (though this may soon change, depending on the PTS math tweaks). With the Brawler tree in the mix, I would take Setup so you can follow a Beatdown combo with a powerful Haymaker.

    Resurgence is a good heal, but I'd probably add Endorphin Rush and Conviction/BCR/Bionic Shielding to stay healthy during Resurgence's lengthy cooldown.

    Maybe something like this (ignore the power levels; it's a hack job of the build you linked).

    Are you planning to duel/PvP with this build? A few of your advantages suggest a PvP interest.
