I've read up quite a bit on Fire/Dark Corruptors and I must say I really think yours is the best guide AG, also I rather enjoyed your input as well All Star. For whatever reason I've really had a fascination with the Fire/Dark Corruptor and using the information I learned here I came up with my own build and I was wondering if I could get some criticism/speculation on how this build would perform, I'm only at lvl 8 now and already I love the sheer AoE madness, though I do always feel somewhat lacking in the single target department, but that's to be expected, I suppose getting Blaze eventually will really help it. Also, being usually a blaster or tanker (CoH is all I used to play when I played a year ago and before) I've never delved into the Teleportation pool and I feel like I really want to try it with this my first CoV toon... with all that in mind... here's what I came up with:

I wanted hover just to be able to have that vertical mobility in and out of battle, plus I hear hover makes TP a lot safer.

I love your guide but for my own preference i wanted a fast flying build with a multipurpose use (blapping, aoe, trolling, etc) so here it is, tear it apart, tell me what i need/don't need, please i want to make mine a better build.

Wow, a lot of great advice, and pretty much exactly what i was looking for, the only thing I really have to go off of is my experience when I played back around I3/I4 and guides that I see out now, few to none seem to take into account I8.

As far as why I chose hover, it was mostly because I really like flying in the game, I know I know it's a noob thing as well as a slow travel power and could be replaced with something else to optimize, but, what can I say, i love it. Having said that, I also thought it might have a decent pve and pvp use as far as not having a vertical limit (like I do with SJ) and from what I've heard, it makes navigating certain higher level areas easier. But I also am able to compromise things like that out of a build and having all that in mind would hover still be worth it? or should I replace it with another pool power or possibly an attack (I never picked up zapp and I hear it's not too shabby of an attack). And is hover still at least bareable with only 3 flight speed SOs?

Also, I was wondering if CB or Zapp would work better as a single target ranged attack?

And last but not least, I was wondering if 6 slotting aim (3 RecRed/3 ToHit) is worth the slots? I was reading somewhere the frustration and difficulty people were having at higher lvls hitting +2 and +3 mobs or even lower because of the various def buffs/to hit debuffs they run into, so basically i'm asking if that would be overkill to slot aim like that?

here is my revised build, again i would love more criticism, the more - the better as i see it.

Hey, I've been toying around and trying to decide between an nrg nrg blaster, elec nrg blaster, and elec elec, I really liked your post even though it may have been created for I5, but for someone like me who knows nothing about blasters or electric blasters I'm convinced and going to start one.

here is my build, tear it apart, tell me what i need what i need to take out etc:
