Whist the damage from burst seems fairly low it is a staple attack of the AR. It is the lowest end and lowest recharge plus comes with a nice debuff.

M30 grenade is a high end attack with fairly low damage. Much more effective imo is buckshot, lower recharge and end but lower range.

Not sure about AR corruptors really. They just don't seem 'right'

I have tried a few brute types up to level 8. But gone for EM/EA

I have taken Barrage/Energy Punch as my attacks (L12 so far). An Fury just flies up. No big attack as yet, waiting for Total Focus at 18.

Bringing the subject back on topic rather than the ZOMG this AT will pwn posts...

My L46 regen scrapper got held by an orange carnie Dark Ring Mistress (on Heroic) with one application of a hold...

Wow that integration is sure a great power...they've lowered it's healing, reduced the effectiveness of enhancements in it and now nerfed the mez protection.

I had enough of getting held with my blaster....really, really annoyed at this change.

And Syn, not everyone is always in teams... This game is supposedly just as easy to play solo (see advertising from Cryptic) yet Cryptic are trying to force us into teams

Of course without knowing level/powers we don't know...

Could have Fiery Aura or Invincibility or other PBAoE effects going on....

I think best slotting would be TI/Unyielding 3 Dam Res/1 End Redx, Invinciblity 3 Def/2 To Hit Buff/1 End redx

With Resist Physical Damage your 2nd and 3rd slots would add 1% resistance per slot

With TI any slots after the 3rd would add 0.7% resistance

Optimum slotting for Dull Pain is 3 recharge/3 heals

i am sorry to say so openly but the Support should really look deeper in some accounts in there. During the whole night the same Monkey that screwed up one of previous raids came to just try screw this one as well. Well enough is enough with people like this that abuse the efforts of 100 people towards a common goal just because they got nothing better to do and is the only way to get some attention. Just wanted to let u know cause i know u ll read this although there is no KoS list in CoH/CoV yet i see u in any PvP zone u ll die loads.People like this should be banned permanently and i sent another petition with full chat logs explaining the reason you need perma banned and seriously if u dont get banned i am gonna make an issue out of this.

Please, get your facts straight.

I did not griefed or did anything wrong, please get your facts straight before even trying to point me as the person to blame. Is this one of those sad attempts to ban me? Possible.

If you are Spacemonkehh then you are a liar.

[/ QUOTE ]

I must be doing something wrong. I haven't taken Fire Breath yet and only took Enervating Field at L24 (but to be honest could live without it - the best form of damage reduction is lingering radiation)

Not sure about choking cloud either, will have to see where it will fit

Do you really need recharges in rain of fire? How often in a fight will it be useful? Probably only when tar patch is down.

Tar patch could use the extra slots to increase the slow effect.

Fearsome stare and Petrifying Gaze are very powerful when slotted with fear/hold enhancements

Base damage res from shadow fall probably makes those 3 slots a bit pointless

Plus very few villains have DOs never mind SOs....

I jad a regeb scrapper run away from my corruptor yesterday before he got owned....

So heroes don't have it all their own way

OK so my main alt is now L19. He is a fire/rad corruptor and I feel he is just starting to come into his own.

Just wondered how everyone else has balanced the attack/defense of their corruptors. I've only just taken my 3rd attack (as I seem to be constantly teaming with brutes so haven't needed uber damage)

Anyway he is becoming a nicely rounded character, and I can see a really solid team/soloer/pvper emerging from this AT.

How are other corruptors progressing? Any problems with particular power choices?

I've just created a Energy/Energy Brute seeing as how my EM tanker has been destroyed by ED....

Interesting set of powers in the secondary, though I've heard they are a bit squishy....oh well

DA/DM for the win!!!
Although I've got no end most of the time

Oh well SMASH!!!

[/ QUOTE ]

Very effective it is too...especially with a corruptor to buff/debuff and heal

You are far better off using a sub 35 to earn prestige and a 35+ to gain influence (to pay for the lower levels enhancements)

a sub 35 give up a pittance to earn the same amount of prestige that a 35+ is giving up thousands for

Though it disappears a few seconds after you activate it now. I liked the little thing too

too many travel powers IMO

Energy Punch AND Bone Smasher are both good, Bone Smasher is better though

Personally I would have hasten/super speed until my attacks were 6 slotted then respec into SJ/Acro and get rid of hasten SS You don't really need all of those travel powers

Lethal Weapon:
So why when I was chasing you yesterday did you not bring me out of the air? DM/Regen is still the best. Well scrapper anyway

[/ QUOTE ]

If I was using Lethal I don't have impale cos I'm a blaster

DM is pretty good in PVP (TOF = )

My DM/Inv will be a Pvp build methinks (spines don't seem to suit pvp except for a minor immob and a bit of slow) I did manage to sneakily take out TG though

Hehe....

Like my impales Area 51?....non flying squid for lunch

I use 3 to hit buffs at L45 and have no roblem with +4s/AVs/Giant Monsters.

The Base to hit buff has remained the same

It also provides resistance to to hit debuffs and +perception so is a top notch power in my books!

[ QUOTE ]
badger, i think im right in saying that you would be better with the second slot of flight in power boost, this affects hover speed in fights too.

i would put a heal SO in aid other, not interrupt, and i would put 3 heals and a recharge or 2 in aid self, i wouldnt personally even bother with 1 interrupt here, as an energy blaster, solo you should be able to put every mob in a spawn on their back at once, and the 0.7 interrupt of aid self or w/e it is is good enough in this situation, i would say put 1 or 2 in it tops as a blaster, but in my xp of it, you dont need any for it to save your bacon.

Plight

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't have hover.....Air superiority for its knockdown

Flight needs three slots to cap, i'd prefer that rather than messing with power boost

I intend to slot aid other with three interrupts too

3 interrupts is more than .7 (see below)

It really can be a bacon saver

Schedule C Enhancements (40%, 20%, 10%) are:

Interrupt

This bonus type starts to see reduction when the bonus is 80% or more, and a severe reduction at 120% bonus or greater. So your bonuses when slotting in multiples of the same Single-Origin Enhancement work out to:

1 SO: +40%
2 SO: +80%
3 SO: +112%
4 SO: +118%
5 SO: +124%
6 SO: +130%

Lethal Weapon L50 AR/EN/MUN on Defiant

Captain Heroic L27 EN/EN (blapper) on Defiant

This is my planned build to L30. i find soloing a doddle up to red minions...

I am a bit of a crazy loon blaster diving in and laying the smack downdesn't always run smoothly

L32 will be Nova
L38 will be Total Focus

No idea what i'll take at 35, Force Mastery will be epic pool

Is acrobatics from the Leaping pool worth getting, do you think?

[/ QUOTE ]

Only if you want Superleap as your travel power.

Having a L27 En/En Blaster at L27 (and played a */en to L50) I do have some thoughts....

Power Bolt/Blast are essential if you are going to be a 'normal' blaster

Power Burst..someone said damage sn't good...It is about 25% more than Power Blast (about double Power Bolt) but has minimal range. Great for blapping.

Energy Torrent....weak damage, decent KB...but can draw aggro in team play

Sniper Blast... Not as effective as it used to be (pre ED) but can be a good fight starter (though I personally don't have it- my fight starter is bonesmasher)

Aim....Essential

Power Push...Prbably better for PvP than PvE

Explosive Blast...Weak, draws aggro but looks nice

Power Thrust....Got to take it, but a waste slotting it

Energy Punch....Excellent damage but you have to be prepared to run in and hit em

Build Up....take it...NOW

Bone Smasher....Uber Damage and stun

Conserve Power...Has a fair amount of down time. I'd personaly say this is more useful in the later game (for those long extended fights)

Stun...Playing around with this. Long animation but good for pvp...worth considering

Power Boost...Nice power with a few uses

Boost Range...Never liked it, not as powerful as most L35 powers. Very dependet on how you are going to play your character as to whether you take it

Total Focus...OMG the bomb...take it slot it...the reason for being a blaster is clear when you see the damage

So basically it is down to the style you want to play. En/En can be versatile, decent range, ok AoE, Excellent close range, so choose style of play and build to that.

I've been playing arond on test with respecs and have gone:

No Hasten slot attacks with 1/2 recharges.
More attacks to make sure something is always available to throw at the bad guys
Far more Mez (taken munitions for that purpose)

My L50 certainly is a very different beast, sniping at high level was alrady tough due to resistances vs Lethal, so hit and run tactics with sleep grenade, freeze ray and beanbags will now be the order of the day

I'll be making a plant/plant dom and a fire/en dom....

Just for a bit of variety
