Without changing any power picks you will not want to slot what you posted. Slotting 6 luck of the gamblers in protector bots was just the starting point but there's so much in there i didn't know what to say. So just shuffled your sets. You could consider mu mastery instead of elec (redside version of elec but better) and stack your thunderclap with thunderstrike and the protector bots seeker drones to max out stuns (i'd still take photon nade if this is what your after), pick up a resist toggle and a travel power. I'll toss something random in to look at.

 

When your making your builds in mids the best tip i can give is never ever ever 6 slot a power with the same set unless:

a) your chasing a specific bonus like ranged defense

b) your playing a tank

 

There are some sets like reactive or preventetive medicine where you want the full 6 slots for a recharge bonus in which case i'd refer you to point a. In 99% of the bonuses your slotting 6 pieces for something useless like psi/mez/toxic resistance and when you add them all up you have 12.5% extra resistance to those in total (i made up a random number here) that is useless and will benefit you in no way helpful. Either way when you total them up the effect is the same, you get hit by a toxic/psi/mez attack and it hurts just the same as if you hadn't slotted them (the difference is negligible) So look at the bonuses in the sets and specifically look at the 6th set bonus and ask yourself, is that bonus stacking with any other bonuses that will help me?

 

Slot for recharge. Slot for damage. Your an mm so damage bonuses are irrelevant too. In the case of the 2nd build you'd be knocking down the mobs with gale (without knocking them back) dropping freezing rains debuff, pin them in place with electrifying fences, stack the thunderclap+thunderstrike stuns and throw static discharge at them. 

 

You mentioned sapping them with static and ESD. Not happening, you'll drain a small portion or a large portion (50% with ESD) of their end but not enough to prevent attacks coming in. And you'd have to waste the power by slotting end mod sets in it, if you look at the bonuses they give you'll realise after 5 seconds of play your better off with damage sets.

 

You'll still be a themed bots/storm/elec type character, you may have a ton of fun with it too but i bet that fun is 90% related to the secondary of storm 9% the bots and 1% the elec powers. Its a great combo tons of fun and as long as your having fun thats all that matters. But when you really start enjoying it and get to higher levels you'll want some sort of aim in mind when building it in mids.

Thanks Meknomancer for the awesome info! I will spend some time and look over these builds. You're right, I was concerned about some of those mez protects that you only get at the end of a set. But, if you think it's better to not "min max" on power slotting so much, I'll bear that in mind. You make some  good points and I'm gonna consider all of them.

 

From what I am learning, for a sapper you need a Controller anyway. But stuns... hmmm. I suppose, yeah, if they are stunned, that's less attacking they can do, right?

 

And, yeah... the Storm part is pretty crazy. It's fun. And Tornado is just sick. I been running around all day today dropping it on Family, Council, Freakshows, Banished Pantheons etc. Just need to find a shade to color Snow Storm so it doesn't, y'know, fill up my screen so much with effects inside those tiny little cave missions fighting the Lost lol. There might be a No Effects setting in the tailor...

 

Anyways, thanks again!

 

EDIT: I like that BOTS STORM build. I tweaked it just a couple places... I switched the order of Hasten and Super Speed, and then SS was in the final spot. But then I switched that for Pulse Rifle Burst, so at least I would have that -Regen if I ever needed it, I mean, it's right there in one of those attacks. And the other thing is, I thought, why not go ahead and throw the Karma KB protect IO into Weave? So I put that in, then saved it as "Deimora 2" lol. It's that good of a build, man. That's an epic build you came up with. I think it would just wreck house.

Glad you liked it although it is pretty random, you will want to do a quick search through the mm forums and find better mini max slotting for higher level content.

 

If your looking for sapping an elec controller or domi with conductive aura is usually a good bet.

 

I like a kind of golden sandy colour for storm, fits the theme for mummies/egyptian/earth magic toons and its fairly easy on the eyes.
