SS/Elec notes

[Thraxen]

Going for crazy high recharge to get the revamped Power Surge as up as often as possible.  Will likely take Ageless as well.  Any notes appreciated.  Married to combat jumping.  But aside from that nothing really.  Went ball lightning for another aoe and theme but could do anything.  Thought about experimentation for the injection that boosts recharge as well.

Well already switched some stuff.

You need to make sure to get your recharge debuff resist to 100%, otherwise that can significantly impact your recharge rates on a resist armor set that will take any and all debuffs, especially during rage crash. Here's a quick sample aiming for maximizing recharge. Without any procs turned on and minimum recharge value set for Ageless, it gets Power Surge down to 70 seconds. Will likely be a bit quiicker with FF +rech procs going off every now and then.

Now I'm kinda interested in trying this on a tank. I'm not sure on how accurate mid's is right now with the recharge values, I didn't manually double check but tried adding in Adrenal Booster and didn't see any changes in recharge (not to mention that toggling and detoggling Adrenal Booster would change recharge times to different values, so something is definitely off there). Still, electric armor has a surprisingly high amount of regen with Energize, Power Sink, and Power Surge running at the same time, will be even higher with tanker HP. I'll experiment more with this concept when I have more time.

 

Build below adds more global recharge and Adrenal Booster.

The not soft-capping SL defense is bugging me. Pretty sure I can solve that puzzle with time. Anyways, here is my quick take on this awesome combo:

This thing is so fast. Also, the Cim Day job gives another 15% recharge debuff resistance and 3% resistance to all damage types. Time Lord (Cim and Oro Day job Badge) gives another 10% recharge.

 

 

This is WITHOUT Power Surge active.

 

 

This is 187.5% recharge in game with Hasten active. When a FF proc activates it will go to 287.5 Add another 10 for the weakest part of Ageless and another 10 for TIme Lord....and lol.

Only DDR he will have is from ageless.  He is at 90% recharge debuff resist without ageless.  Well over 100 with ageless.  

 

He is only 40 in game at the moment.  Super clicky, of course.  Rage and Power Surge together look cool.  I changed the color a bit though.

[Thraxen]

Also, I like spiritual.  It buffs recharge and healing.

I definitely want to see this. Thought about making one of these on Brainstorm to see how it goes. Don't forget that a Recovery Serum is cheap as dirt and super effective. Combined with Energize...well you see where this is going.

End won't be an issue at all.  Power sink is up all the time.  Energize is nuts.  I took out the usual end procs that I by default put on toons.  He has them atm but not 50 and all that yet.

 

The EMP blast should to crazy damage since it only affects robots.  It is still a neat part of it.  I would have it affect everything or super affect robots.

Want to do the same. Going to try the tank first, based on values from mid's, it was showing about 200hp/sec regen while Power Surge was active, around 100hp/sec without Power Surge (does also assume saturated Power Sink with 10 foes).

Do you know if the regen from Power Sink stacks? With the high recharge you could easily have 2x stacks going, at times 3. 

 

Also, not sure if you considered it, but Force of Will would be an interesting concept to double down on the regen aspect of the build. Mid's is showing ~237hp/sec regen for a tank with Power Surge and Unleash Potential both up and 10 foe saturated Power Sink. If the regen from Power Sink stacks with itself, it could easily hit 267hp/sec at times, which while not permanent is still pretty crazy. Can use Weaken Resolve with just the base slot to put an achilles proc in, should have no issue hitting with double stacked rage and would provide a useful resist debuff for AV fights. Unleash Potential can also mule a LotG +rech as well. Gets to 133 second recharge on a 60 second duration with 325% haste in the build using minimal values on ageless. Realistically, it will end up being a bit faster after counting Time Lord recharge boost from day job and the FF+rech procs hitting during fights. 

[Thraxen]

Power sink is harder to cap than you would think.  Looks just stacks to 10 as far as I can tell.

Just tested it on beta server, multiple applications of Power Sink stack with themselves. At one point, my regen was capped at 2500% (regen monitoring value turned blue) which was giving me 272hp/sec, this was with 3 stacks of Power Sink, Energize, Power Surge, and Unleash Potential all active at the same time. One use of Power Sink (fully saturated) was giving me ~30hp/sec regen, with 3 stacks up (all fully saturated when surrounded on a fire farm map) it was giving 90hp/sec for brief moments just from spamming Power Sink (again, tested on tanker values). It was honestly very fun to use, love the concept and going to try building it on live when I get the time and influence to make it (kinda expensive build). Additionally, could also use Take Off from going Force of Will and Mighty Leap as an additional knockdown power for soft mitigation (doesn't hurt that it makes you jump really fast to for traveling purposes).

 

For reference, this is the build I used for the tank version on beta. Mostly transferable to a brute build with the exception of the ATO set pieces.

That's awesome then.

 

I'm probably gonna drop a melee attack and try and get ball lightning again.  

[Doniell]

This is great info. i have a SS/Elec brute at level 50, but i was looking for updated info.

[Warshades]

This image is triple stacked Power Sink, Power Surge, and Energize regen buffs active (very close to regen rate cap). Once again, apologies for posting tanker example in brute forum, but I really just wanted to see how far the hp/sec regen could potentially go and tanks do get higher base max HP values. 

 

This is same as above with addition of Unleash Power which temporarily caps regen rate while both Power Surge and Unleash Power are active. 

 

Looking over it, Unleash Power doesn't really add much that Elec Armor can't already achieve on it's own if Power Sink is continuously stacked and saturated. Could be worthwhile to have and cycle interchangeably with Power Surge as opposed to using both at the same time.

[Warshades]

Adding one additional image, this is with just triple stacked Power Sink and Energize regen buffs, no Power Surge or Unleash Potential. 189hp/sec is pretty impressive imo. Again though, this does depend on getting fully saturated Power Sink stacks which isn't practically achievable outside of farming and ideal circumstances. Power Sink regen scales evenly per enemy hit up to 10 enemies, so while it provides about 38% regen per hit (1140% regen with 3 stacks and 10 enemies hit per stack), it would provide barely anything against a single target like an AV/GM, only giving a max of ~114% with 1 target per hit.

[Thraxen]

Im still playing it. But so far it plays a whole lot like the ma/psi brute I just made. We’ll see how it goes I guess. One aoe that knocks up. Bunch of clicks to raise regen and/or have an absorb.
