Elec/Shield Build Critique

[NumbSoLdi3r MJ7]

Hello good people,

 

Below is my old Elec/Shield brute build back from Live. I was a different person then, and things have changed in the game since. I know the powerset combination isn't the most ideal for a brute, nor is it the best thing in play at the moment.

This character remains one of my absolute favorite to play, so I'd like him to be at the top of his game. So I read up on the new stuff and look at other build out there. I redux-ed the build to include some of the things I've found. Chiefly, items to address the endurance drain and not six slotting Build Up. These changes resulted in a bit of a defense drop, though positional defenses remain above the softcap. 

 

Please take a look and let me know which build you think would succeed better, and what changes you might make.

This character remains one of my absolute favorite to play, so I'd like him to be at the top of his game. So I read up on the new stuff and look at other build out there. I redux-ed the build to include some of the things I've found. Chiefly, items to address the endurance drain and not six slotting Build Up. These changes resulted in a bit of a defense drop, though positional defenses remain above the softcap. 

 

Please take a look and let me know which build you think would succeed better, and what changes you might make.

Thanks for your time and consideration folks.

 

 

With some mobs getting makeovers you need to find a way to fit in some slow resistance on almost everything you play now, especially on melee's you'll want as close to 100% as you can get. I'm not a big fan of shield on any AT, i ran an elec/sd broot on live and made an elec/sd scrapper on HC but i didn't really enjoy them much. If your not set on it being a broot i'd recommend elec/sd stalker its simply superior to both. I took a stab at it but its a bit of a mess just to get slow resists in.
