Protagonist_EU

Maybe making a new thread for Toxic Tarantula badge 2nd team?

Btw, its Protagonist. People just call me Prot for short.
My characters name that is.

Alright, on Prot.

I'm in.

That's great, take that Synapse, no-one likes you anyway Ha-Ha-Ha-HA!

Hell, I have it 6 slotted...
2 rech 3 defence and 1 damage resistance.

Yeah, it's great when youre certain you will get shafted, atleast it buys you some time so you don't have to hit the floor so soon and maybe even survive.

Mog is my one true friend.

He sure did.

I'm in on my lvl 50 scrapper, Protagonist.

Congrats.

Wow, the artistic style reminds me of some Cartoon Network series.
Very nice style I must say, nicely done.
Ergo.

All the time I've played CoV I've done about 4 corruptors, all with assault rifle primaries. It was the only primary that I found to my liking, no abnormal stuff shooting from your hands or anything, you just blow the enemy away with your gun.
My latest one is AR/kinetics corruptor that was fine for the early levels.

Now he is level 33 (so I've got full auto and it is somewhat slotted), but I keep having second thoughts for leveling him this high.
People convince me that the powerset is good for PVP, but [censored] for corruptor in PVE use. I constantly feel that other corruptors outdamage me (especially at mayhem missions when there's alot of armor suit enemies around ).

Is AR really that bad? Should I keep leveling him if I don't inted to do PVP that much?

Tis alright.

Yeah I took a large COV break from my main scrapper, then came back to scrappin' and it suddenlty felt so freshing. It felt good to run in among the first people and just hack things up with broadsword.

Hey hey hey! Congrats!

Yes we need a proper date, how about this weekend? Maybe fri or sat?

Bah, my dark scrapper or ice corruptor out-soloed my pre-stamina AR corruptor any day of the week, weekend and twice on sundays.

Not my huge corruptor, besides I've seen bigger guns.

And the endurance costs of m30 and few are high for early powers (as you can see on the 2nd post), the problem is mainly pre-stamina (and a little bit after it). The pre-stamina levels are horrid to level, especially when fighting Arachnos Mu or similiar.
I think it's a problem if you can't attack properly for the first twenty levels of your toon.

So when you plan to do respec and maybe you could put the names of the participants.

Mine is AR/Kin corruptor, Gaspard.

My corruptor could use a respec.

Shhhppatagan!

And congrats.

I think they should lower the end cost of powers, after all, how many gun toting people you see catching breath after few shots? AR needs some end cost reduction, badly.

Otherwise it's very nice powerset, nice AOE's, good lethal/fire attacks (the full auto rechargers pretty darn fast aswell) combined with fulcrum shift and later on Ghost Widows patron powers.

The powers really do use ALOT of endurance, even if you don't get m30.
I've been in a team with other corruptors AR and not, I've noticed how the end bar of AR corruptors goes down faster than other corruptors.
Also I rolled an ice/kin corruptor and lvled him to lvl 15 before my AR/kin and I hardly ever ran out of end in midle of fight.

The attacks of AR use alot of end, considering it is an assault rifle and has draw time.

I don't find AR bad, it has some good lethal attacks, 2 fire attacks, stun and full auto (combined with fulcrum shift and siphon speed) has pretty good recharge rate.
But the levels under 20 I always find pain to level due the end drain (atm every one of them has stamina).

Also it's pretty hard to use less attacks when I'm soloing, that is when I have problems (pre-stamina that is).

As for the build, every AR corruptor I've met have the exactly same problem, they run out of breath too easy.
My build isn't really that special, only end reduction enchantment I had was on grenade launcher since it's the attack that drains me most (mostly use burst, slug, sniper rifle and grenade only if it's worth it and not a suicide), mostly damage and accuracy.

Now when I got stamina 3 slotted It's alot easier to lvl, but the levels under 20 were pain, especially fighting Mu on those arachnos maps, I sometimes ended up face to face with a Mu and waited for end to recharge so I could do a lousy burst, then I got drained by their attacks again...

I rolled an AR/thermal corruptor long time ago when I first got Cov and I noticed how I always ran out of endurance when I pulled few attacks, so I was reduced to do just healing.
And few months after that I decided to try AR/traps corruptor, again I'd run out of breath all the time. I even teamed with a fire/thermal corruptor for test and he could keep attacking and healing us both without having any bigger end issues (we were both lvl 17 and according to him he only had one end reduction ench). Even when I didn't use any of my traps I ran out of end.
Now, few weeks ago I rolled third AR corruptor, kinetics this time, still can't keep attacking proplerly without stamina.

Is AR really suppose to be like this? I know it has modified accuracy, but is pulling a trigger really that tough?

By the way: My corruptors are lvl 18, 21 and 24

Congrats!

Happy birthday-ay!
