Super Reflexes or Lightning Armor?

[Chalkarts]

I'm looking at both because of their increased speed powers.  Is Suoer Reflexes survivable?

[Mentalist]

Super reflexes is always very survivable because of the defense and defense debuff resistance.  I like damage auras on brute though so I would definitely go lightning armor.  
 

Lightning armor also easily gets 90% energy resistance which is good in many late game areas.

As much as I love Super Reflexes, I have to give the nod to Lightning Armor on this one.  This is my TW/ELE Brute that is Res capped to SLFCE and def softcapped to SL. Has 281 recharge, and really good defbuff resistance.

It has the best DDR numbers, so yeah. The only real bane for a SR build is +ToHit.

[WuTang]

I think another knock on SR is lack of a heal. If you go Dark Melee this is fixed, otherwise you'll have to add in some HP procs.

 

I like Electric Armor alot, my favorite after Rad Armor.

 

But SR is VERY survivable. Your resists scale up as your HP lowers, and it will lower.

Super Reflexes is eminently survivable, but generally speaking, Resistance-based armors and armors with Absorb shields tend to favor Brutes and Tanks while Defense-based armors favor Scrappers & Stalkers. Damage/Taunt auras are also very something that are often viewed as more essential for Brutes and Tankers.

 

HOWEVER, it does need to be pointed out, since it's +Rech (speed) that you're interested in, Resistance-based armors can be difficult to find room for LotG +Rech IO's while they're almost inherent for defense-based sets. That should also be considered.

The graphics.  I dislike the look of the Electricity powers.  

There are a couple things I don't like to play because they just look wrong to me.  Elec is sadly one of them.

Totally a me problem, just a preference.
