Elec/Dark questions

[Uun]

I've been leveling an Elec/Dark and enjoying it. Currently lvl 42. Here's the build as it currently stands with slots through about lvl 46. Curious how others slot Conductive Aura and Static Field and whether there's any reason to devote more slots to them. I will probably swap out the Malaise's Illusions in Synaptic Overload for Superior Will of the Controller when I hit 50.

 

I'm at a bit of a loss as to the last 3 power picks. I've got enough slots remaining to 6-slot one more power, but not two. Here's what I'm considering, but I'm open to other suggestions.

• Combat Jumping - slot w/ a LOTG and maybe a Kismet.
• Hasten - Primarily to get Fade and Soul Absorption perma (or close to it.)
• Enflame - Elec is lacking in damage and I figured I could put this on Fluffy or one of the Gremlins. I've seen mixed information as to whether procs work with this.
• Paralyzing Blast - I have mixed feelings about the AoE holds and often skip them on my controllers and dominators.

Power sink can be amusing in that combo but i slot the combo for quite a bit of end drain, usually at least 5 synapses in chain fences and conductive. I think conductive gets under rated, if you toss in some acc/end mods and some heal io's its surprising how much regen you can get from standing in a mob, although thats totally unnecessary with /dark secondary.

 

Recharge is everything, you want fade and soul absorb as close to perma as possible. Hasten, force feedbacks+rech in jolting and arcane bolt and just run the acc/dmg, dmg/end, acc/dmg,end from thunderstrikes if you don't wanna spend inf.

 

For more aoe damage, procs in howling twilight.

 

I also tend to skip the aoe holds on trollers and domis, the huge recharge does mean its good for procs though.

 

I started tossing the full AT set in static field, i use it so often, it tends to be my opener with Synaptic and i like the bonuses.

 

If you run enflame just toss it on a target, running it on pets makes the damage hit and miss depending on how/when/if they ever decide to melee.

 

If you want to see a great elec/dark build look up @Sir Myshkin proc monsters, pretty sure there's one in there somewhere. 

 

Have you considered the new dark mastery epic? Midnight Grasp with a Dark Blast filler can bump your single target damage a lot and opening up on mobs with Umbral slotted with a force feedback is a lot of fun.
