Interesting electrician build

[Bobdoyle]

I've been running this build for a few matches

Bracerx2
Steamboots (im not a enhanced fan)
Rush Bloodstone (Sacrificial Heart)
Behemoths Heart last

Its been working out great

any thoughts?

[masterofping]

so other than tanking, whats "interesting"

[Xanavi]

lol? wth is this?

[`Milky]

so other than tanking, whats "interesting"

The fact that he thinks it's interesting.

[Bobdoyle]

Tell me why you don't think its interesting then if you dont think its interesting at least specify whether you like it or not

[Leeyawn]

I think its very unorthodox for a tank IMO

[Pyrate]

not that unorthodox for electrician. Electrician is a Tank/Support, and a lot of his tankiness comes from Mana Shield. With the new Sac Stone he can get a lot of charges very quickly (my last game with electrician i finished on 3-3-18 and the team total for kills was 28). Each charge ups mana regen, the more mana he has the tankier he becomes (mana always runs out before HP does).

You still need good hp regen though, and some +% for mana to make use of those charges and the Heart is not worth it anymore on Electrician, best bet imo would be Barrier Idol, its a good support item and gives regen, and then a Sustainer.

So this build would look something like

Steamboots
Sac Stone
Barrier Idol (get shamans first)
Sustainer
Helm of Black Legion (break sustainer for the hp tube)

You are looking at an Electrician with 20+ Mana regen and 20+ HP regen, with 50% magic reduction and another 12.5% reduction from his shield (remembering that MS takes 50% of the damage and hits mana for 75% of that)

[[OH]wrench]

I don't really see why you would get a sac stone tbh. Electrician is the king of assist lane, and well... assists dont generate sac stone charges.

[sidsavierre]

im more interested in

enhanced marchers
barrier idol
helm of the black legion

in the process of making 2 of the last items you'll have great items too. feels like you dont need going back to base for healing up

[Prixm1]

x6 bracers and you win.

Don't forget the magic resistance you get from his shield

On a somewhat related note, how do those 250 gold shields work with Elect's manashield.

Barrier Idol/Frostfield Plate > Behemoths Heart on elec anyday.

[Bobdoyle]

Alright thx for the help heres anothwr question

At the beginning of the game Bracerx2 or a Vanguard (helm of the black)

and after Bloodstone i guess ill switch over to getting a Barrier

Cool story bro.

Agreed to Heart being a poor item now. Pipe ftw.

Interesting, I usually rush Kuldra for my tankiness and supportiness.
