    Poison for Corrs

    POST-ACTION

    Think it will be a Son/Poison and a Fire/Time for me.

    Out of your 3 for min/maxing I'm going to have to say Fire. Then Psi then Dark.

    I can honestly say I don't think I've played my Energy Brute for more than an hour since this change was introduced. One of the worst changes I feel the devs ever made. Turning a 1 second animation attack to 2.67(!!) is just ridiculous.
  3. _Tux__EU
    Do you have some suggestions for how I could get more HP then? Only thing I could viably see would be some Apocs, and maybe a few more LotGs?

    Thanks for your feedback.
  4. _Tux__EU
    Hey guys..

    This looks like a definite improvement! Energy Aura has never had End troubles even when you exclude Conserve Power (IMO).

    Can someone link all this new information if that's alright?

    Cheers.

    Cool build Psyrene..
  6. _Tux__EU
    Hey guys... I forgot I had one of these at 50 and figured it might be okay in PvP?

    Here's a build I've made.. Please could you critique it.

    Any tactics/attack chain advice as well would be greatly appreciated..

    Thanks.

    Tux.

    EDIT: Is it 38 or 42 KB Prot I need(?).. If it's 42 I can just put a BotZ in SJ..

    Update went fine

    Cheers again guys.
  8. _Tux__EU
    Ah thanks guys... yeah I don't have the latest version. I'm usually a little reluctant since updating my mids usually stops it working for a while and I have to play around for a bit to fix it.

    Much obliged.
  9. _Tux__EU
    Tried to have a look at one of my old Dominator's builds so I can edit it for post-i19 (Historic I know) but I get "Unable to read beyond the end of the stream".

    Is there any way I can recover this build?

    Thanks.

    Sounds very nice!

    And yeah I have the Battle Orb on my Fire/Cold.. I team about 99% of the time and it's pretty useless tbh, I will eventually craft up to T4 Vic/ACU I think.
  11. _Tux__EU
    This is all great info, thanks guys!

    So you reckon IDF would be the best AoE?

    Looks like I'll have to try out the Cims too, they look fun.

    Seers still considered good buffers? Or are there a lot better options out there now?

    Thanks again!

    EDIT: Oh, and the Longbow Cataphract/Warden look like they could be a potent combo.. Does it vary on which type of warden you get?
  12. _Tux__EU
    Has testing like this been done with all the new Lore pets? From a pure damage perspective is there a clear winner? What's everyone's favourite new pet?

    There's so many to choose from now I have no idea what to pick. I'm not really a concept person generally so I'm open to all sorts of opinions/raw data etc!

    Thanks.

    Tux.

    I will try and pitch up with something... I'm afraid I can't guarantee anything though.

    Well if you are mainly a PvE toon and you team a lot and you tend to cast your shields.. then yes, it's a pretty terrible idea. (Sorry if that's blunt.) Slotting can give you ~10% more defence to every team member when you look at Cold shields for example, with as few as 2 slots.

That doesn't mean FF is a bad set and most people are happy to have one on the team, it just means that like any pure (defensive) buff set it's not going to be quite as good as a combination buff/debuff set unless you need maximum survivability. And since there are almost no places in this game where you do need maximum survivability...
    This.

    Sorry FF, I'm glad to hear it's improved slightly though.
  16. _Tux__EU
    You can't really go wrong with any of them!

    I would have made my Sonic/ a Defender but I went Fire Blast with my Corr. Enough said. If I was a Defender I'd go Sonic/Sonic or maybe Sonic/Dark for something a little more unique. Add in some -ToHit with all the res you've given out to your team.

    I've never had a serious Sonic/ Blaster but I agree with other people that /MM would probably be the best secondary, then maybe Fire or Energy. Boost Range + Sonic could be fun.

    I'm also contemplating a new Sonic/Dark or Sonic/Rad Corr..they just look mean.
  17. _Tux__EU
    Here's the build I use for my Rad/Kin. Only one set of KCs so not too bad. Relatively cheap build.. You could get it all for under a billion if you are patient.

    If you want less recharge and more Energy/Ranged defence you can swap the Decimation for Thunderstrike. I was also gonna proc out Neutrino Bolt to see if I like it. I did that in the alternate slotting (Shift+RightClick) if you're interested.

    I left 3 slots to play with too. I had them in Boxing with more KCs just for some SL def overkill. The toons survives well enough for me especially with Transfusion..pretty much my favuorite heal in the game.

    Okay, fair enough with the Hover thing.

    Personally, with almost every Corruptor I have I just go with Scorp Shield and softcap my Smashing/Lethal defence. Add in Energy defence it gives and the ranged def you've built for and you'll have a solid toon.

    Res is always nice though, I can show/make you a Son/Pain SL Cap build if you'd like to see an example.
  19. _Tux__EU
    Hey, I played around with your build a little.

    I took out the Stealth pool since assumed you were just using it for LotGs and I swapped in Leadership. I also put in CJ instead of Hover since I prefer SS+CJ for travel but you can always swap back round.

    I got you a little more ranged defence and I took the dark pool. It's worth noting that APP Soul Drain > Patron Soul Drain.

    Could you post a data chunk please?

    Is Dark out and out the best pairing? I went Thermal since I have 2 Dark 50s already.. Traps then maybe?
  23. _Tux__EU
    Ah I see thanks! So am I right in saying that in those branches, one of the two pets, (For example: The Seer Seeker is untargetable) but the Augur is, can still die? (Seers Radial Superior Ally)
  24. _Tux__EU
    Basically what my thread title says. I do a lot of speed TFs so when I'm running through a mission they either get killed and/OR when I get them out for big fights (AVs, Phalanx Control) they just die. Slightly sidetracking here, any of you speeders have a favourite Lore pet atm?

    It'd be nice to guarantee having something out for the full five minutes. Can anyone help me here?
  25. _Tux__EU
    Ah sorry I meant that aswell well when I said +Range. Good point though.. I guess SoC is perma so I don't really need it to last longer and Vines usually has everything held till it's dead. And you can spam ST holds etc..

    Would it give more +Heal on Spirit Tree out of interest? Thanks for your feedback by the way.
