Optimal attack chain for Electric Melee?

[ScarySai]

Working on an elec/shield build currently, but I'm having trouble working out the best chain for single targets.

 

Side question: When do you use thunder strike? Seems kinda 'meh' even on AoE.

Optimal chain is CI - CB - JL - AS

 

JL is the weak point, but you can place a lot of nice procs into it (including -res). HP deals its damage early in its animation but has a lot of trailing animation time which lowers its DPA below CB and JL. Attacks from pool powers like Moonbeam and Cross Punch don't generate Focus stacks from what I recall.

 

As for Thunder Strike, it's definitely meh but when your LR is recharging you might need that extra AoE. If you pick it up I recommend slotting a FF +Rech proc into it.
