Similar to how the option was added to the ego blade powers, it would be cool to have the ability to dual wield the laser swords from the Power Armor set. Either as a 0 point advantage, similar to the Ego powers, or as new abilities if that isn't possible.

My super cool CC build and how to use it.

Yeah some things are broken... no I don't use/abuse them.. where would be the fun in that?
to an extent, yeah, however the high energy cost limits the move sets flexability, becasue if you don't run it with electric form as your passive you have to run MSA/int/rec frankenbuild to make it viable for any length of combat exceeding 0.3 seconds...or...ya know...have energy issues plauging the build to the point of uselessness.

Epic Stronghold
Block timing explained
i also dont even run electric form. my guess is you're one of those players who want to play this game WITHOUT using their EB as the game was meant to be played.
well with the way it currently is you get maybe 3-4 hits from the combo power off before you run outta energy, at which point eaither your target is dead or things are rather.....well, lets just say with the way energy sword is atm, you spend more time building energy than dealing damage, which could be migated to an extent if the plasma burn stacks didn't fall off faster than a unicycle on a pogostick, but in it's current state....you're lucky to maintain 1-2 stacks of plasma burn at a time, unless you have a uber optimised build for energy...at which point you can manage roughly 4 stacks at once.
in a nutshell, if the main point of a power is to deal damage or enable another power to deal high damage, and you spend more time preparing to use it than using it...something's kinda wrong with it.

Oh no, you might have to use MSA
oh no, you might have to use int or rec
oh no, frankenbuild
oh no you might have to let your energy builder be on for a second
oh no, mechanics
The cost is fine, that's how it's balanced. If they lower the cost, they'd have to lower the damage, and then no more energy sword damage bragging for you u3u

yeah...I wouldn't be complaining about it so much if the primary mechanic behind it [plasma burn] was actually....well, functional, in it's current state the energy sword powers apply one stack of plasma burn on every thrid swing, and atypically the power costs about 20 energy per swing, which measn it takes about 60 enerrgy to get one stack of plasma burn on the target...whihc isn't that bad consdering what plasma burn does...however the main issue here is that the stack burns out so quickly that you need to effectivally spam the power if you want any hope at having more than 2 stacks of it on the target at a time.....and consdering that plasma burn is made to be detonnated with the plasma cutter power [like bleed and rupture], that's...kinda a issue.
possible solutions [keyword possible, as in there are other options than these]
1: Make plasma burn last longer
2: reduce the energy cost of the moveset
3: make it so all stacks of plasma burn on the target are refreshed when a new stack is applied
4: reduce the max stack number to 3, but increase the damage rampup on plasmacutter detionation
5: Add a heafty chance to the intemderate hits to apply plasma burn [about 30-50%]
so...while those are the top five ways I can think of fixing the issue, i'm fairly certian that there's better ways out there...and before anybody points out that plasmabeam with the adv applies plasmaburn, it only applies it per one second, meaning it's slower than the sword method [just barely] and only just a little more energy efficent.

But, laser sword performs pretty well right now, and is use and loved. Many powers are in a much worse state. Like, chain lightning.. which doesn't work as intended on a full charge... and generally sucks in every tangible way.
Otherwise, seems fair and balanced.
Whoever you are, be that person one hundred percent. Don't compromise on your identity.
I'm ok with the Cost-Power, but the STACKING need to get Fixed!
Also bring back the Laser Sword Passive
