Ok, it's taken a while but I'm finally edging towards 40 with my dark/dark corruptor and I've started to look at the patron pools. They all have something I like in them and I could do with benefiting from others experience here.
I'm counting all the pets as about the same, as long duration recharges mean I'm not expecting them to be around much. This is PvE, not into PvP yet, and teamed for 80% of the time.
I think I've ruled out Black Scorpion. The shield sounds nice combined with the -to hit of dark, but I don't want an aoe immob and I'd prefer my st hold with damage. I'm also not too keen on the mace.
Sirocco is so-so. Teamed, I don't burn through too much end, so power sink is less appealing. The armour would be great stacked with Shadowfall though.
Ghost Widow is interesting. I've always felt lacking in damage and with shadowfall and fearsome stare I'm happy to get into the middle of things. So Soul Drain is very tempting. The armour is less appealing, but the NE res would stack.
Mako. Now I'm really considering Mako. School of Sharks is very tempting, I normally open with Fearsome Stare, then TT and NF. To be able to add another cone to that really appeals. Looking at the stats, it sits between TT and NF as well, 30 degree arc, 50ft. Again the armour is less appealing, on par with Ghost Widow.
So I think I'm down to Ghost Widow or Mako. Both have an armour I'd only use for S/L, both have a ST hold with DoT, both have a pet that wouldn't see much play. Although the Mistress' psi damage is more appealing than the Corolax lethal. So I get to stack immobs with cone damage, or pbaoe +dam +acc.
I suppose the two questions I have that will help are
Has anyone taken Mako on a corruptor, and how does school of sharks compare to TT and NF?
Will Soul Drain mean I can actually nuke stuff with Blackstar?

Any feedback / options welcome.
