So I used to roll a SS/Shield Brute before live shut down and loved it--was a really nice farming toon. Decided to switch things up a bit and go Scrapper here for kill speed, plus Electric melee for the pizzaz of LR (I like the Teleport Powers now that I can bind on target location). So the goal is +4/8. I do 53's relatively simple with a VERY incomplete patchwork build right now while I'm saving money. Usually the sentiment with Elec/ is that you don't want to be in prolonged "straggler" combat; its a set with massive alpha strikes, a long animating short-range AOE (Thunderstrike) that you can supplement with Fireball (and I do). But its middling single-target damage, really, so getting bosses down with the two alphas, Fireball, and Thunderstrike is going to be key, and to do that, this baby needs heavy damage buffs.
So here's my first attempt at building a clean 50 build that takes advantage of higher recharge so I dont have to invest in +Recharge at the incarnate level, and also values damage, endurance, accuracy, and regen/HP buffs. The sacrifice is largely Resistance. I'm not really squishy fighting 53's right now non-shifted, and again the build is extremely patchwork, so thats encouraging. The plan is to go the 45% Musculature damage buff for the Alpha slot, and either double-hit or -HP, with maybe Barrier to eventually clean up the obvious damage resistance hole. Even though this is ONLY a farmer, I would like and value community feedback. If I could be doing something better than I'm not, the potential problems you see with the build, and what the suggestions might be for Incarnate paths to take advantage if there's better ways of doing things out there, lay it on me blunt-style. I'm a bit rusty in Mid's coming back from such a long hiatus.
Thanks everyone, and I look forward to your feedback! : )
