I should qualify this by saying right off the bat that I am NOT a hardcore player. Just a regular player. It really depends on the kind of role you want to play. For example, I recently made a build that focuses entirely on skill power. In end-game activities, I've seen my Sticky Bomb hit for almost 1.5M damage, but the trade-off is that I have low gun DPS and really low health (basically your glass-cannon archetype). Others may disagree, but I would suggest not worrying too much about your build until you hit end-game. When I played through, I just experimented with different guns to see what I liked and payed almost no attention to my Firearms, Stamina and Electronics.

If you're more focused on gunplay and not so much on your skills, you don't need to invest much into Electronics.
