i'm looking for most any ranged dps build that can compete with dmg while being able to shrug off many attacks. basically i don't want to fall over to a single force cascade in pvp and i still not be worthless in pve. i come up with something like this. Build by championBuilder 0.4.1Download this Build here.: Level 40 ChampionSuperstats:Level 6: Super EnduranceLevel 13: Super RecoveryPowers:Level 1: Electric BoltLevel 1: Lightning Arc -- Rank 2, Crippling ChallengeLevel 6: Ionic ReverberationLevel 6: FlightLevel 8: Electric Sheath -- Rank 2Level 11: Electric Form -- Rank 2, Rank 3Level 14: Electric ShieldLevel 17: Lightning Storm -- Rank 2, Rank 3Level 20: Gigabolt -- Rank 2, Rank 3Level 23: Ball Lightning -- Triplicity, Rank 2Level 26: Unbreakable -- Rank 2Level 29: Resurgence -- Rank 2Level 32: Inertial Dampening Field -- Rank 2, Rank 3Level 35: Immolation -- Rank 2Level 35: Teleport -- Rank 2Level 38: Bionic Shielding -- Rank 2Talents:Level 1: The InfernoLevel 6: Amazing StaminaLevel 9: Quick RecoveryLevel 12: Boundless ReservesLevel 15: EnduringLevel 18: EnergeticLevel 21: TirelessLightning arc with CS for pvp, but i did notice it does similar if not more dmg than lightning storm on single target and is highly spamable. Lightning storm for pve. but with the Knock adv might be even more useful in pvp. giga mostly for pvp charge strike. Ball lightning trip, not needed at all for energy gen but instant and adds some decent dps. in pvp gives people another target for a few. unbreakable, resurgence as oh &@(! buttons, IDF is self explanatory and bionic shielding to mitigate the incoming dmg. I was going to try the magisty/enrage build again in test but enrage is currently bugged there (can't get it with out grabbing might powers) thoughts or suggestion on a completely different build? (id perfer to stay energy projection or sorcery.

Get the matter-energy union adv on electric sheathe.
I'd ditch Electric Shield and Resurgence for Masterful Dodge and maybe Nanobot Swarm. In fights vs melee toons, Sparkstorm can be more valuable defensively than Resurgence. If you want a block enhancer, Force Shield+adv probably has the best synergy for you. Sonic Device is another nice power to look at, since I don;t see a stun in there.
sample attack sequence 1. Ball Lightning 2. Electric Sheathe 3. charged Gigabolt 4. Masterful Dodge 5. Lightning Arc
If the fight extends, use Nanobot Swarm to kick in Unbreakable and Immolation.
I'm personally not a big fan of the end/rec SS combo. With Lightning Form, I prefer END with DEX, CON, INT or PRE, depending on other powers.

I was thinking bout the matter energy fusion for the sheath but when you take say a 3k hit does it make that much difference? so you're out of energy and still take damage? kinda clueless other than what the tool tip says (assuming its right lol)
I think i got the block so i could get giga and lightning storm sooner and i don't like being with out one.. that extra % seems to help alot. the adv on force block is great but a little overboard for a end/rec SS in some quick tests. I also thought about parry because i don't think it would be expected. With the avenger stance change gaining energy while blocking i think would make it even more overboard?
I currently have sparkstorm and i was talking bad about it for quite some time BUT after playing with it more and more it also provides a nice dps boost if you are on top of your target and also handles adds well in pve. in pvp half the time i'm just mashing buttons hoping stuff dies before it gets to me so i have not played with it much there. how reliable is the KB on players?
I have masterful dodge on another toon, it works okay but i'm not overly high on it. It feels more preemptive than an Oh @#$& button. but i guess that isn't a bad idea either. I'm not familiar with nanobot swarm i'll check it.
is there a reason not to SS end/rec or just what you like? I thought about doing rec/int. keep fast regen and get lower CDs cheaper powers and better stealth sight for pvp. Is there a cap or soft on reducing CDs? would you still gear a good amount of end or rec?
I also thought about dex and also con. dex for the passive crit but eletric is more about sustained, in pve sustained is great in pvp sustained can work if you can keep yourself up long enough. with con i figure more HP and grabbing Imbue would make a charged GB deadly.

I use much of that same build in avenger mode but with Con superstatted instead of Rec. I tanked the first half of a megadestroid fight with it until someone finally took aggro away from me. The increased equilibrium from electric form is almost enough to make up for not having Rec SSd and I still can equip for Rec with my Primary Offense slot. Very good survivability and practically no loss of DPS, as those who I have gone on nemcons with can attest to.

I need to see if I ever got that respec on electrical toons that we were supposed to get and potentially make some adjustments to her.

I almost had to pull teeth to get mine. submit a ticket they give you a canned response with in a hour or two saying you didn't qualify. (assuming you did qualify) submit another ticket referencing the first asking what part of your build didn't qualify. they escalated my ticket and sent me my retcon.

Very good survivability and practically no loss of DPS, as those who I have gone on nemcons with can attest to. yeah i'm able to hold MegaD for a while as well on my current build using unbreakable and resurgance as active Ds and if no one pulls off... i jump can jump to wolf device or take a death to wipe my threat. If i would've known more about active d's and self heals at when i made the build i bet i could hold him most of the time. now that enrage is supposed to be really fixed i'm going to give a build similar to pulsewaves another try when RL gets out of my way. I'm just not too keen on keeping enrage stacks up.. i had to do something like that in other MMOs and it was a huge pain in the butt. maybe i can macro it some how... hmm....
