You'd be able to solo most of the game with this build.

There are a few elec/shield build threads on the first page that have several builds posted. ;D https://forums.homecomingservers.com/index.php/topic,3410.0.html https://forums.homecomingservers.com/index.php/topic,4690.0.html

I'm having kind of the opposite experience. I've managed to get full IO / superior AIO sets and the build is definitely solid. However, it feels clunky for me even with perma hasten and plenty Luck of the Gambler slotted. The AoE clear just doesn't really compare to what I was getting on a Spines/Fire brute with equivalent investment. The single target is decent, but for that I felt my Illu/Rad controller outperformed it. What kind of end-game content should I be looking to do solo that this build excels at? So far, it feels like a jack of all trades master of none kind of deal. Ill/Rad will absolutely outperform just about anything in terms of damage output. This is a ST killer with ok AoE and tons of survivability. The benefits it has over other combinations are soul drain and siphon life. SL adds a heal that no other primary has. End game content you can almost solo 90% of the game, almost any AV minus boosted LR and the Crimson Prototype.

I am attempting to solo the market crash TF and need some pointers for beating the Crimson Prototype. I am having a hard time beating it's -hp debuffs that seem to ignore positional defense. I've tried popping big purples and oranges but that doesn't seem to be enough. Any advice? I am trying this on a Dark/Shield Scrapper.

The best solution to this is, kill them before they hit you.

Part of the issue stems from not being able to get them from a merit vendor. Although looking at the set the only appealing thing is the 5% melee defense but that doesn't really open my build up all that much so right now at 25m I don't see the added benefit.

Should I just buy unslotters and the attuned enhancements then? Because cats are 4m INF right now...

Yeah I'd wait a solid year before attempting to piss off Boss. You're not at the soft cap yet so I don't think you can block their alpha.

Can I have your stuff? Just email it to @Murcielago please.

I post all of my insp/common recipes/enhancements on the market for 1 inf.

Another Sentinal

The only melee primary that I've ever tried that wasn't great was Ice Melee. Too low damage. War Mace was too endurance heavy but if you pair it with Energy it becomes very strong and pretty.

If your work allows outside thumb drives you can install Pine's on a thumbdrive ;D

I want to figure out a way to drop hasten, I find that it makes the build too "clicky" and interrupts my attack chain. Also buying the Scrapper AIO's was the easiest way for me to get them. I'm currently in the process of attuning all of my enhancements and holy cow enhancement catalysts are expensive.

I only run at +2x8. I've found that +4x8 has a huge diminishing return when solo'ing. My attack chain is Shadow Meld > Run in > Absorb Alpha > SD > MG > Smite on one boss > MG > SM on sec boss > SC > Judgement everything is mostly dead and finish off bosses or LTs. Then I'll do that again but instead of using Judgement I'll just DC. I've tried running +4x8 while solo'ing but it just takes too long.

Make sure you do this on a petless MM for extra uselessness.

E/E isn't popular because electric melee is pretty low damage outside of Lightning Rod and armor is pretty meh when it comes to mitigation. Electric/Shield has pretty righteous AoE and great survivability though.

I usually pop yellows and go nuts but usually most everything is dead before I have to worry about that.

Solid advice right here.

Feedback on using instant activation snipes. I run in > SD > SC > Judgement > DC > Snipe and pretty much everything is dead. This change is pretty BA. Snipe is doing close to 500 points of damage with max SD.

I have both and they're great, but I haven't gone as far to measure to rate of crit increases. All I know is things die quickly when the big red "CRITICAL STRIKE" pops up over their head.
