Electric Armor/Fiery Melee -- Advice Requested

[Lexelot]

Hi all,

 

Put together a build -- It's significantly overcapped on S/L/F/C/E/Psi, but I can't seem to find a combination that doesn't deteriorate my defenses/recharge while shoring up Neg/Toxic enough.

Wondering if going Brute might be a better idea to gain some damage (lose some AOE potential) to offset the overages.

 

DDR hole outside of Ageless obviously, but with EA, I think that's expected and isn't really avoidable?

 

Any recommendations would be most welcome!

Edited July 1, 2020 by Lexelot
Had the wrong enhancement slotted and swapped out Tactics for Assault

[Meknomancer]

Had an elec/elec a while, made an elec/ice/ice recently then tried elec/fire. Elec/fire easily the worst so far. I run lightning clap on elec and ice patch and stacked holds with the ice and it makes a huge difference especailly solo DA arcs vs +4/8 talons of vengeance and BP. The fire has nothing but damage and accuracy frequently gets debuffed to 0. Ran the elec/fire thru miss lib and the lack of toxic def was painful at the tree. My current build, about to respec but like you i don't see a way to fix the problem:

[Sovera]

Did some small changes to slotting. Bit more recharge, changing things around to be available sooner if exemplaring down, etc. Things to consider though:

 

- Fire and Cold defense aren't terrible useful or important and you can save slots here and there to pick damage procs.

- Agility is not really terribly useful (IMO). As an Elec Armor you're swimming in endurance and shouldn't need the endurance boost, and the defense/recharge boost isn't adding much. I'm musculature all the way (though it's only a 15% damage if already at ED)

- In the same vein Ageless with recharge and endurance isn't adding much either. Barrier serves the same purpose and you can add 5% defense and resists permanently for content that matters.

- I did not want to mess with the slotting too much but remember you can account for 14% in resistances with two stacks of the ATO (Mids only shows 7%, so another 7% needs to be accounted for) which lets you mess with the slotting. Instead of 90% you can aim for 76%, for example. Or since Mids shows one stack, aiming for 83%. If you decide to change to Barrier you can add another 5%, so aiming for 78%.. Three stacks of the IO can be hit and miss, but two stacks is fine.

- Greater Fire Sword looks nice, but it's such a slow animation it's damage is actually meh once we account for 2.5 seconds of being rooted in place. You could grab the regular Fire Sword and make a shorter rotation that will still output more damage long term. Incinerate is your biggo damage skill and deserves the best slotting.

- Same as above Energy mastery does not add much to someone who swims in endurance like an Elec Armor. I didn't want to mess with your power picks though. In any case Focused Accuracy makes for a nice mule and can be turned on to face Arachnos and their blinds or Tsoo or whatever (I'd take FA at 35 though).

- Your accuracy is already enough to overcap hitting +3 enemies (with the sole exception of Lightning Field at 'only' 91%) so the Kismet was not useful. I replaced it for a LotG.
