    Umm you mentioned 2 secondaries and one primary.

    I've enjoyed sonic/therm, fire/cold and fire/traps. Fire/therm would also be nice.

    Personal preference. The nice thing about thermal and pain is you have your aoe heal.

    Anything/dark or anything/traps would work solo as well.

    Good luck.

    I don't know, I took it. It allows me to softcap to all 3 positions with 1 bot bubble.

    It's not needed but it's nice to be able to take on most things the game can throw at you.

    Not true Candlestick unless it's a speed run of a TF or SF.

    - seeker drones
    - poison trap
    - black scorp's webnade
    - rain of fire
    - fireball

    And that's just for normal mobs.

    There's no setting up and pulling, it's all at full speed ahead.

    There are fast teams and very fast teams. I agree very fast teams are a bit tougher for a trapper but all you really have to do is recast FFG since it'll be the thing that won't keep up.

    I love my fire/traps. I also love peanutbutter.

    Oh I see Wassabi didn't have the shields clicked in his build so it is softcapped to s/l as well.

    Good job. I should stop drinking before looking at builds.

    Jack,

    Good luck. I don't think being softcapped to Energy is that important. s/l should be more than enough on a corr.
  8. FitzSimmons
    Wassabi, you made some good points but I actually like the direction Jack was heading better.

    Jack,

    With a few small changes you can slot FS better, save yourself some money on the Ragnaroks and still be softcapped to s/l/e.

    Also be careful with slotting the FF+RECH proc. It clicks the power and assumes it procs so your recharge numbers were off.

    Not only is lag worse on the ITF, it takes longer to load into some missions and this affects the whole team when it does happen.

    There seems to be a few gremlins running about.

    I used to just hit lag on the hill and on the rooftops at the very end of the ITF. Now I hit it on the hill, at the computer and on the rooftops and sometimes even at Rom.

    It'll work. Quick suggestion that'll get you another 7.5 to recharge. Add one slot to Supressive Fire, maybe take it from Siphon Power.

    I usually go hover/ranged for my kins and don't worry about softcapping to the typed damage but it's no better than what you put together.

    Nice job.

    Oh one more thing, in health you have 2 Miracles slotted. I don't know if you meant to slot a numi unique in there instead.
  12. FitzSimmons
    If you want bots but are open to another secondary any of the following works well:

    /traps
    /storm
    /ff
    /trick arrow
    /dark

    bots/ff is easy mode later on. You can just force bubble things, take aggro and the bots do the rest.

    Any of the other secondaries above are a bit more active. Each fun in their own right.

    So go with what you want, you can't go wrong.

    Thanks for the advice. Back to the drawing board... I'm thinking maybe Rad instead of En, but for this character I much prefer En's sharp graphics to Rad's vague fuzz of death.
    Why not energy/storm or energy/kin? Or does it have to be trick arrow?

    I have an energy/kin with repel and whirlwind and softcapped to ranged. His name? The Chaotic Kinetic.

    Lots of fun... for me!

    Right click on the icons and choose edit, then put in $$petsayall text you want them to say

    It won't change the default text but it'll add a second line.

    Let me describe what I'm really looking for:

    Corruptor:

    Primary: Dual Pistol

    Secondary: Traps, all the way to tripmines

    Pool Powers:

    superspeed, super jump, stealth, health, stamina, hasten, scorpion shield, web envelope, focused accuracy.


    Other than that, I just want one of the travel powers 'early' (like level 14), stamina at 20, the other travel power can go hang itself until level 49 if so desired.

    Reasoning behind this is: With superspeed AND superjump AND stealth, there is a snowballs chance in hades of this guy being tagged while moving. This allows him to go anywhere, at the drop of a hat, and put the smackdown on whoever gets in the way.
    Oh so I guess you're looking for a pvp build. I didn't ask but I didn't see so I assumed PVE.

    If it is for PVP then the bonusses you'll want are +HP and +recharge. My build was pve focused and all about +defense.

    I can come up with something but you may be better off asking in the PVP forums.

    Also mention the budget, obviously there's a lot you can do with the PVP IOs but they're not always in everyone's price range.

    One comment about DP, it's going to be relatively weak for PVP. IMO you're better off with fire or sonic.

    Good luck.

    In my thread titled caltrops or rain of fire, New Dawn made it better by adding in some extra recharge.

    Change the fire powers to DP powers and go from there.

    Oooooh! Blood mandate gives you 3.75 to AOE and Ranged! OOOOOH!!!

    I just solved all your problems buddy, I was expecting it to be more difficult.

    Now you can still lower that s/l and work up some other stuff like HP or recharge or slot some other powers up.

    But here are the changes I made:

    44.5% is the sfotcap so with AOE at 44.8 you're covered.

    I'd have to check the numbers on the thugs, I'm not sure how much of an impact dropping out the 2 defense IOs from call enforcers is and if the thugs were at softcap to begin with.

    Yep, you're right! I'm a schmuck.

    Unless you're running at +4x8 with bosses ranged plus s/l should be enough. Plus you get BG mode if you need it!

    1 positional and the main typed softcapped is better than one well above softcap and 2 close-ish positionals to softcap. And that one positional imo (even for a traps) should be ranged.
  21. FitzSimmons
    s/l is at 54% with ranged at 37%. I suggest dropping s/l closer to 45% and bring ranged up to 45. Anything else is butter.

    Drop one slot from health and move it over to triage beacon. 6 slot triage beacon with numis. That'll give you 3.75%.

    Change seeker drones to clouded senses. That'll swap out the AOE for ranged and give you another 3.75%. You'll typically face a lot more ranged than you will AOE.

    There's your 45% ranged right there.

    Unless I'm missing it, I don't see the steadfast protection 3%. Slot that sucker!

    After that you can probably drop down to a single slot in superspeed and move the 2 slots elsewhere. Maybe 3 slot stamina and hasten.

    Enjoy.

    It took me a very long time to embrace sonic. I love my sonic/therm. For /dark it was between fire and ice and I went ice.

    I still haven't fallen in love with rad blast.
  23. FitzSimmons
    The good thing about bots are the burn patches. It meshes well with glue arrow, EMP arrow and most importantly oil slick arrow.

    I giggle like an idiot every time I play my bots/ta.
  24. FitzSimmons
    1 bubble gives you 11% and the protector bots will only bubble you with one bubble. I'm not sure why they don't give you two.

    I appreciate all the sharing, feedback and the different looks. I'm just providing an alternative and some feedback. I never say it's my way or no way because I know there are things I'm going to miss and there's always going to be a new slant on a build that I'll find intriguing and I'll adopt it or parts of it.

    I've been a big fan of defense since I learned about softcaps a while ago. It allows you to do things in this game that weren't possible before without good inspiration use.

    However I'd never neuter a build to get softcaps I don't need. Like I mentioned in the other thread ranged is typically good enough. If I have to drop powers I'd like to have to get s/l and other defenses softcapped I probably won't do it.

    Regards,

    Nice! When I create builds I sometimes get lost in the primary focus and don't do so well at looking outside the box so I appreciate it.
