Only question that comes up, Earth Flight? Activating Earth Flight in mid-air gives a Storm Cloud with lightning effects instead of a chunk of rock.

Just curious, but why not gigabolt?

Just curious, but why not gigabolt? Absolutely no need for it. Lightning Storm handles AOE damage better and Lightning Arc destroys single targets better. Gigabolt is good for burst damage but I don't use burst on this toon.

And you didn't mention any CTP farming. The toon's name and concept requires it though Starts petition: "Kenpo must farm blood knives"

Everything in this build is fairly replaceable TBH. The main things to keep are electric form, ionic reverb, lightning arc and ball lightning.

Hi,
First off, let me say thanks for your great builds. I'm in the process of upgrading to gold membership and I can't decide between this build and a fire build for my first freeform character. As my username says, I'm all about the damage (with enough survivability to dish it out).
Could you give me a quick breakdown on how an electricity build like this compares damage-wise to an equally optimized fire build?
Would be really great, thanks!

To Kenpo: If we consider a pvp/duel aspect, even more with your high ego spec, wouldn't killer instict be the better energy builder? Purely pvp pov dps Fire is an aoe powerhouse, but electric is still the boss killer you want for endgame

Could you give me a quick breakdown on how an electricity build like this compares damage-wise to an equally optimized fire build? Fire is easily comparable to electricity, especially a DEX based critical hit build using fire since fire has many debuffs. A standard fire build for damage is going to use Fire Form, Fireball w/ unstable accelerant (debuff), fire snake (debuff), flash fire, and conflagration. A strong fire build will use the above powers along with Super PRE and Thermal Reverberation. So DEX/PRE. To Kenpo: If we consider a pvp/duel aspect, even more with your high ego spec, wouldn't killer instict be the better energy builder? Purely pvp pov KI only works with munitions powers. Your best bet is either super END with ionic reverb or Super INT with MSA and a short cooldown move to keep it running.

I played around a bit with the electricity framework, and came to wonder why you didn't include Electrocute w/ Superconductor in this build. Wouldn't that raise Lightning Arcs damage considerably (with Never strikes twice on Lightning Arc)?
