Comparing the two /Dark would be safer since it's all ranged but with Time it make things easier to get to softcap (Also the -ToHit helps as well) Also Time doesn't have serious end issues once you hit 38. Mending doesn't require a baddie or a hit check.

I think both combos are great...and it really depends on if you want to "melee blast" or just range blast. When it comes to utility, support and Team wipe recovery Dark cannot be matched.

@Sypher- I would go for Ageless as well so you can later on Nuke with no issues. I built my Ice/Dark a little different than yours but my toon was designed for League play. I took vengeance and I didn't worry about protecting Dark Servant since he recharges so fast and he can normally hold his own anyway.

No problem and I have to say right back at you: After reading your response and theme I understand, Darkest night is a great power and it does sound like your theme leans towards dark more than time. I would so go for Dark. Time is amazing as well but it doesn't have as many buff/debuff tools as Dark does.

I do enjoy Fire/Dark don't get me wrong but to me Fire/Time Plays very similar but just more "up close and personal/Melee" Range.

Fire/Dark- Superior -ToHit, patch can be stacked for -60% Res, Fearsome Scare is not only great for shutting down a mob it slows things down a bit keeping them in patch, Amazing Rez/Stun, A bit tough on end though, Stealth power I could go on and on but with Fire/Time you're almost looking dealing with the same Playstyle but just a different animal

Fire/Time- Good -ToHit, Slowed Response can stack for a small amount of time for up to -84% Res, Distortion Field is great for mitigation as well as stacking with Time's Juncture, One could build up a good defensive toon easily, Chrono Shift Keeps your blasts firing and helps with end issues...

To sum it up entirely I would recommend making a Fire/Dark and Fire/Time on beta and get them bumped to 50 to test them out...to be honest I challenge you to not fall in love with both toons/combinations.

This.

I remember seeing that thread/post. I agree I'm all for it as well.

Oh and let me tell you my Fire/Storm Controller...dude she is a FORCE to be reckoned with! I can Spam the immob have to LS out, throw out Bonfire, Have Hover, Mist and Hurricane running all at the Same time...Yeah, this is the way storm was supposed to be played!!!

Currently he has Scorpion Shield and he's 45% on defense...but I'm having second thoughts...I like the safety of Cold Mastery. With Hoarfrost and Hibernate I can keep myself alive when things get really crazy. Also Snow Storm and Frozen Armor are awesome...I think I'm going to go Cold.

Thanks Raj, I dabbled a bit with Blasters and Corrs but it was never anything serious...but once I found out about Ageless I started to dive head first into the "Nuke" world so this is a bit new to me. I think Ageless has breathed new life in many sets...for example /Sonic, Storm, Anything with a crashing Nuke, /Dark Armor...it has made the impossible, possible and it makes you think of your nukes as a high dmg attack instead of a "Use it only once per mission in a special situation, then run like hell until your end comes back" attack. Thanks for all the great advice.

No problem! I just keeping buying lucks until I can afford to IO him out heh.

Thanks, I knew it wasn't 45% I was just throwing it out there as an example because I was having difficulty even asking the question lol. You definitely helped me out right here...something that I didn't know/never looked into...

Interesting, *looks at mids* by joe you're right! My thanks go out to both of you!

Jeez, you could of warned me before you made me fall out of my chair from laughing so hard haha!

I understand where you're coming from...and I'm going to let you finish but...j/k lol. I think AR works better on a Corr and even then it only works with certain sets that can let you go crazy with the cones For example... Ar/Dark & Ar/Traps I think those two secondaries were MADE for AR. I agree I made an Ar/Kin and Ar blaster and I ended up deleting both but Ar/Traps and Ar/Dark is golden.

Edit: AR/Traps is just silly with the hold procs in Acid mortar and Poison Traps things stay put, and with The knockdown proc in caltrops things just tend to attempt to flee or flop around helplessly, this is great for AR b/c it gives you time to set up your cones of DOOM!
