So this is a weird one. About a year ago I got this build to 50 and all decked out with sets and Incarnates. And it was fun to play! The basic idea is you spot some enemies, and roll up on them with Whirlwind going along with Lightning Field. Fold Space to try and bunch up as many targets as possible, then Power Sink -> Build Up -> Lightning Rod, then spam Havoc Punch ->Thunder Strike -> Chain Induction until Build up and Lightning Rod are back, and reapply Haste, Energize, and Power Sink as they return as well. Repeat until everything is dead. It works pretty well, and it's fun to watch groups of mobs struggle between having no end and falling on their butts. It's fairly survivable if you're street sweeping or doing +4/8 paper/radio missions.
However, there are some drawbacks. Things go south fast if too many enemies stay at range. Pulling more than one group of enemies is a gamble, and often ends poorly if Energize is on the long end of cool down or if you don't panic pop a inspiration in time. It doesn't have much in terms of agro control. Soloing is fine, but grouping it feels more like an off Tank than a main agro holder. For example, I wouldn't take this fellow into the MSR and try and drag Rikti into the bowl. Also, the blending time can take a while. I'd like more damage if I can also manage it with making it tougher.
I hope to remake this brute soon, and right now I'm willing to consider changing anything if it supports the 'draw targets in and blend helpless mobs' mechanic. I'd be willing to consider something other than Elec/Elec, different slotting and set bonuses, different Incarnate powers. I'm looking mainly for advice on how to make it more durable first, with agro control and higher damage being second in priority. Any and all advice is welcome.
