Interesting. I figured with Short Circuit, Transference and Thunderous blast (now crashless) It'd be able to pull it off.

The issue is how consistent it is and how effective it is overall. A number of late game AVs will laugh at it. My main on live was Kin/elec and I feel like I could drain some back on live, but I also had Power Boost. My Elec/kin controller doesn't yet. I went for damage so far with Patron powers. Regular mobs, well yeah. Unless something specifically resist it(Sappers), they will have no end in short order. I currently find the controller version the best out of the box sapper for support types since Elec control gets a location targeted AoE sleep and controls to deal with needing to be in melee range. Damage is lower. I would rank the corr version next since corrs have better potential for damage and  I doubt the difference in sapping is that different. In short, it works, but end drain can be fairly useless for some end game content.

Mighty Matt: Rad/bio Brute. 7. Without Hesitation: Claws/sr Scrapper. 8. Within Reach: Axe/stone Brute. 9. Without Pause: Claws/wp Brute.  10. Chasing Fireworks: Fire/time Controller.

Thanks. I wasn't actually looking to drain AV's. Or even Elite bosses. I'm just thinking back to my days as a triple elec blaster. I could pretty much keep boss level mobs drained pretty reliably with power sink and short circuit.

SC + Transference will take care of a boss.
