Elec Mastery

I'm all for this but I'd like to see Power Sink in there somewhere; perhaps something like this:

1. Shocking Bolt
2. Lightning Bolt
3. Power Sink
4. Ball Lightning
5. EM Pulse

Your joking right?

Electric Armor gets Power Sink/

Sorry, I meant Short Circuit. SC+PS=drained mobs=good for crowd control!

1. Shocking Bolt
2. Lightning Bolt
3. Short Circuit
4. Ball Lightning
5. EM Pulse

That would be badass...but I'm also thinking overpowered.

Not really, blasters use the combo now and back it up with superior damage. Now EM Pulse might be a bit overpowered since Power Surge comes with a built in EM Pulse. I'm just sayin'....

Yes, but the blaster does not have the same survivability in melee range that the tank does.

For a blaster...you run and jump into a group and try to incapacitate them with the risk of dying.

A tank can render a group harmless because the tank is able to stand in the middle of all the foes and use those powers over and over without much risk of dying.

I recently hit 50 on my E3 blaptroller and I can tell you that in most cases the risk of jumping into a group and incapacitating them with SC+PS is minimal at best right now for a properly built blaster.

At the level where SC would become available to tankers most battles are over too quickly for the recharge on PS and SC to make multiple applications viable. You also have to take into consideration that most tankers are already nigh unkillable by the 40s anyway so this doesn't really add all that much in the way of personal survivability but it may help save a teammate or two. Basically adding Short Circuit to an Electric Mastery set for tankers would just be another form of crowd control for regular mobs and might help drain the odd AV or GM.

I wouldn't mind SC either, but on a tank, it would be way overpowered.
