Shield/Elec Tank?

[Alaristhedragon]

Has anyone got a build floating around out there? The ideal goal is keeping my friend alive while I introduce her to the game. Main want for the build is to try and work Spring Attack in as well.

I have one I can send via Mid's, but am at work currently.  Will send when I get home in a few hours.

Spring Attack is honestly pretty underwhelming. If you build enough recharge you can reliably cycle lightning rod and shield charge, and toss in a thunder strike in between.

 

It might be interesting to work in Foldspace, you can have Teleport Target for your friend, and Combat Teleport is actually pretty cool for moving around and building up tohit. It also seems fitting giving the powersets teleport based powers. Foldspace would tp a group to you to recharge your AAO.

 

That said you're best off using mids to make your own build as you can put in what you want and keep your own influence and resources in mind.

I don't want to put a dampener on things, but while Shield is pretty great Elec is the opposite of great. Very weak single target and the AoE isn't great either. As mentioned above Spring Attack is also.... mediocre.

 

Consider Radiation Melee or even Savage Melee if you're after AoEing and you can still keep Shield. Consider Fire/Claws for AoE carnage.

You arent entirely correct with the AOE analysis, sustained aoe you are, but if you think and operate an elec shield as a 20-30 second multiple mini nuke delivery - its very impressive.

 

Build up + Lightning Rod + Shield Charge + Thunderstrike + Chain Induction the just about any spawn ive been up against is not standing anymore. Its even better if you add assault radial and musculature to the mix.

 

Granted its not a dps monster, but when you are wiping spawns every 20-30 sec it doesn't really matter.

 

Its a burst AOE dmg monster thats very fun to go unhinged with.

Savage Melee

Here's a vote for Shield/SM! Super fun, and even more teleporty action than /Electric.

 

Ultimately, whatever best serves the theme of the powers you want to dish out.
