I'm trying to come up with a concept build that is mainly electricity but fits in room for a rockets, grenades, miniguns - heavy artillery stuff. The concept is a toon wearing an overloaded set of armor equipped with a small arsenal of heavy weaponry that is constantly zapping targets (Electrocute, Ball Lightning) and then raining down steel on the disabled targets (Rocket, Minigun?) while being fairly mobile (Breakaway Shot).

A second question is: Does Electric Vengeance proc only while blocking, or is it like the Laser Knight w/ adv?

    That's a tough one, I'll see what I can do though.

    Level 6: Electric Shield (Rank 2, Rank 3)

    I left Both Travel Powers blank and 4 Advantage Points so you can upgrade them. Treat all builds as Experimental and be sure for get a feel for them in the Powerhouse before deciding that is exactly what you want. Some of the powers you wanted aren't available since I needed to fit in quite a lot, but this should do quite nicely. Have fun!

    You might have an easier time using Power Armor set. It has some conventional firepower (Mini Gun, Shoulder Launcher, Tactical Missiles) and some energy weapons (Chest Beam, Conccussor Beam). You can even use multiple weapons at the same time.

    I believe Electric Vengeance requires you to be actively blocking for the retaliation effect. It's been a very long time since I played with that. But you should take a look at Bionic Shielding and its Overloaded Circuits advantage.

    Hmmm... PA I think may be the way to go, now that I look at it. With munitions, the build never really synergizes to be anything greater than the sum of it's parts. PA gives me the option of some big spike damage to mix in with electric paralyzes. I still want my rocket launcher though...

    PA gets Shoulder Launcher. That's pretty close to Rocket...
