most of the time there are no electronics around.. specially in defense and survivals where acoe actually matters. So you are left with 975 damage  - with 225 of it in a small area. For 100 energy.

Not that great anymore.

Power/eff shock build will get you spammable 5 target + 50% aoe around targets 400 damage skill (400 x 5 = 2000 + the small aoe-s). Assuming you use rank 5 blind rage (54/30), focus, storm helmet = 99% power at 30% cost increase. Add Fleetign expertise for +60% efficiency and streamline +30%, u get  12 energy cost.

Or no streamline and like 19 energy cost and use rest for flow/survival mods.

a reliable 2k+ electric damage with stun spam vs min 2k aoe at 50 energy, less stun, slower. For the same amount of energy, in same area shock does around 4x more damage +crowd control.
