I know with Elec/Shield, scrapper is the best choice, because of the way psudo-pets work (Shield Charge / Lightning Rod). Not sure how it pans out with elec/elec. Would be interesting to run the numbers, but I bet it's pretty close for sustained DPS. Brute or Tank are gonna have more survivability, naturally, but massive offence is also = defense. :-)

Shield is soooooo easy to get to baseline defense numbers that make you feel downright untouchable. Well, unless you run into certain mobs. Cascading defense debuff is a real problem even at 50+. That said, by like 40 you're pretty much untouchable, with the right sets in Shield, which has mad def anyway, and your primary, which you'll have to plan out, but many mele sets have some +def and even mele sets have a long range and most likely a cone, so there are those sets too. 🙂 It's MAD fun. Have a typical Elec / Shield Scrapper that will just chew threw 90% of the game. And where it fails, (Cimerora, mostly) can still help mightily with those more -def resistant / resistance based teammates. Watch out for that one special enhancement that does Defense Resistance. It is a life saver and must have.
