Elec/elec questions and scrapper vs brute

[Yaliw]

Tl:dr: Scrapper or Brute? That is the question.

 

Usually I'm pretty good about picking my archetypes but for some reason a little, voice in my head is telling me that I should have made my elec/elec scrapper into a brute instead. That sweet sweet 90% resistance to energy is calling me but I'm not interested in tanking with this character.

 

Also how does lightning rod work on brutes vs scrappers? It's a pseudo pet right? Can it crit? Does the brute's fury damage bonus pass on?

 

Is thunderstrike really that bad?

 

Thanks everyone!
