Here is your skill spread:

Dark Echoes 1
Destruction 4
Salvation 1
Tenacity 4
Shock therapy 3
High voltage 1
Electrical storm 4
Wraith form 1
Charged blood 5
Terrify 1
Free will 4
Betrayal 1
Retrograde 1
Over drive 1
Epiphany 1
Psychopath form 1

I'm not going to get in to some big talk about strategy I'm just going to give you the basics but I assure you this is a build that will be tough to beat. The idea here is a simple one: hit HARD. You throw up free will turn one then you can take your time dropping Wraith form and Psycho form, yes you can do both at once and yes it in fact does pwn. Then you got 3 turns to hit with shock therapy for a guaranteed 8k+ every shot. If that's not enough to kill you opponent use free will to stall till you can get wraith form back up and swing three more times. Your ability wheel should look like this:

Shock therapy 3
Free will 2
Electrical storm 1
Wraith form 1
Psychopath form 1

If you need more fire power you can switch out a move for Destruction if you need more healing you can switch a move out for another Free will but I have yet to need either.

As for abilities, I got one word: Instincts. Nothing else matters. Strength is useless in this build, wraith form takes care of speed and free will protects your health so no need to buff it.

Here is your equipment list:

Helm Broken Promise
Armor Johnson's legacy
Gloves Council Gloves
Weapon Wrath of the council
Leggings Bite proof pants
Boots Council shoes

The Shock armor from act 2 is a good second place to this gear and will do you just fin till you get this stuff but believe me this stuff is better, 200 some odd points of instinct beats 60 points of lightening piercing any day. In any case, most of this stuff should be easy to come buy accept for the stuff with âcouncilâ in the name you may have to go in to the fight club several times to find the city council and get all the items in question. Till then you can subsist on the full set of mayor gear its not quite as good but is a more than acceptable substitute. If you have trouble finding the weapon you can go in to act 4 and fight in the training ground there till you find a Poseidon's Fury. Its definitely second place In the weapons list. Failing that you can just go to the Pwn Shop and buy that light saber looking weapon whos name eludes me at the moment. The Bite proof pants are the wild card most of this stuff comes from either the mayor or the city council, this is the only item that doesn't. It is important to note that these items where selected because they have the highest Instincts bonus at the cost of all else. Your other stats will suffer badly for the sake of your instincts although it will pay off giving you an instinct score close to 700.

Now I will be the first to admit there are builds that can make characters who hit for far more damage like a shatter hydro but that build lacks defense, and yes there are builds that can get huge hit points and are tough as nails to kill like a buffer bio, but they lack fire power. This build is a near perfect balance of power and defense. If used correctly it can crush anything even the two aforementioned builds. Never the less there are always critiques so if any one has any tips or suggestions I'm all ears.

Well, you realize that if you take this build, you won't complete it until level 20 or so, because of all the useless trash you have to put points in to get psychopath form.

and actually that build is not done till level 30.


Oh, ok.
So not exactly a full build.

you don't I had 3 extra point and put them there as a back up move, I explain in the guide that its there if you need more fire power but I personally have never needed it. if you want to put it in salvation or something else you could do that to, technically this build is done at level 27 but why do a partial build? I just decided to go for level 30 since thats the cap. yes that level 10 build is a partial but if you have that by level 10 it will carry you through he rest of the game on a cloud. by level 15 you should have free will maxed making the Baron a push over and as we all know if you can beat the Baron you can beat the game.

True.
But this build is for dealing damage.

That means you don't have much life.
But the free will covers for your life if you have enough instinct.
And wraith form covers the speed disadvantage...

In that case, you can put all stats into instinct.

and as proof I got the Baron's armor on Roald, in fact not only did I roll him I didn't even lose Roald or Verdux in the process we all survived with almost full health. This is a good build I'm telling you guys, psychological is the way to go.

Your equipment... You don't have to use that...

That is one option, but to make your crits huge (and common sense says duh you want that) you add points to charged blood. This means that ANY bonuses to lightning piercing you give get multiplied by 3 (technically 2x+1 but when x = 1, its 3...) This means that you can use the lightning set from zone 4. The lightning buffs are awesome and help to make your crits huge. While I don't agree with everything here that you said because personally, if you don't have more speed (which you won't, this isn't speed bio) and have low health, you can get KO'd on the first shot...

The other thing is, do you notice what lvl you have to be to do this?
For a fully developed tree, you need a very high level. I would say that someone starts off with one tree and branches into the other. It would be best if shadow=>electro than electro=>shadow because electro has no practical use of overdrive...

to voltCruelerz, I did max charged blood what are you talking about?
to Armorcage, it take like 2 hours to get to level 30 why not have a level 30 build and why not go for psycho path form? At level 23 when every thing else is done, there is nothing else left to buy that would make you stronger accept for psychopath form?

And one more question how is a level 30 build creepy? Why whould anyone waist there time building anything less than a level 30? I have never spent more than 8 minutes on a single level so why would I bother coming up with a level 10 strategy if I am only going to be level 10 for 5 minutes? Why would I bother coming up with a level 15 strategy if I am only going to be level 15 for 8 minutes? Level 20? 10 minutes. there is just no reason to building anything below a level 30 character, ever.
