Here we go! /Sonic is a real asset to villains, with the excellent clarity later in the set which is perfect for warburg. Also, with the self mez protection from sonic dispersion this a perfect character to take the leadership toggles. The primary has a couple of great attacks but it's certainly nothing special. Screech should be great for annoying squishies with it's stun. Shout is a nice fast animating attack with fast DoT, which means it gets a better chance for some scourge, and also benefits from it's own resistance debuff.
Take a look, pick it apart.

Wanna do Sirens Call. Pick stone melee, its by far the best.

I'd say there's not much difference between SS and Stone. Rage makes knockout blow into a real killer attack, but Stone have those 3 high damage single target attacks. It's a close run thing.

Hey!

So I'm slightly in need of infamy for my union villains. Anyone out there need some Influence on union or infamy on defiant? For infamy to infamy trade exchange rate will be 1 to 1. Influence to infamy 3 to 1. If you're interested send a global tell thing to @Irradaitor

Cheers

Stacked RI might not, but 8*AM buffed corruptors throwing AoE's will

[/ QUOTE ]

Been there done that. Toggle drops from from longbow will cause team wipes. Take a thermal, sonic or FF MM with you

If they're standing around in PvP zones like lemons then they deserve all they get!

You might want to find a thermal or sonic (or 2) or you'll end up with a serious headache when you meet longbow in the later levels. They will literally rain stun grenades down on you. If you think that stacked RI will save you from that, in practice it doesn't. Still, it's a very fun team to be in!

Ah ha! Villains need more buff types

For PvP you want some kind of unsupressed movement. Hurdle+combat jump is a great combo, it's fast and bouncy so you stay well away from melee types. Acrobatics is always good to take as well.

The whole of the thermal set is excellent. You could drop the rise of the pheonix, but a lot of people like to have it for PvE. From fire blast you're a bit limited. Fire Blast, Blaze and Fireball would all be good. Just don't get Flares (it's just bad!) or fire breath (roots you for too long).

As for other pool powers, grant invis is nice for everyone, especially stalkers. Tactics is yummy, or you could try the for the Invoke Panic from the presence pool, as only Dark armour/miasma users get protection from it.

It's an immobilise and lots of players have either Combat Jumping or mez protection from their powersets, or both which will provide protection from this. They'll still take the damage, regardless.

I have a dream...that one day we'll see little */Kin Corruptors and little */Sonic Corruptors holding hands with little */Thermal Corruptors...on one team, buffing each other and a balanced group of Villain ATs like crazy..running around an alternate future in Atlas Park, beating the [censored] out of the Heroes...I may not get there with you, but I have been to the mountaintop.

I'd say:
Radiant Aura: 1-3 Heal 0/1 EndRdx 0/1 RechRdx
RI: 3 ToHit 2/3 DefDebuff 0/1 EndRdx
EF: 2/3 EndRdx 0-2 RechRdx 0-2 Range
AM: 3 RechRdx 3 EndMod
Mutate: 1-3 RechRdx
LR: 3 RechRdx 1/2 Acc 0-3 Slow
CC: 2/3 EndRdx 0-3 Hold 0/1 RechRdx
Fallout: IF you take it... Possibly damage and recharge, no idea really
EMD: 3 hold 2/3 rech 0/1 ACC

[/ QUOTE ]

EF with range and recharge enhancers? Pretty wasteful. 2-3 endredux is all it needs (or ever wants) from you. Likewise with Mutate. One recharge is plenty. LR is good with 2acc 3recharge. Extra slows are not needed, it's a massive debuff as is. Personally I'd say Choking Cloud needs at least 2 hold durations in there to start being effective.

Firstly (and remember this!): Two accuracy in attacks. Say it with me now, "Two accuracy in attacks". The -def in RI won't help you enough to hit.
Secondly: For PvP some kind of fast, unsupressed movement is a great idea. Combat Jump + Hurdle, couple of slots in each is great. And don't ever stop leaping around like an idiot
Thirdly: Villains need buffers! If every corruptor took a buff if they have one available it would really help the PvP situation for us bad guys. A buffer on a team can make a huge difference, especially if said buff is speed boost. And stacked shields. Mmmmmmmmmm

Oh, and I'm not really convinced choaking cloud is any good for PvP. Mind you, I've never actually tried it in PvP either so I could be wrong. There is something about hearing all those bad guys gurgle in PvE that makes this power special

in PvP sonic is great for it's Sonic Cage, bubbles and Clarity. The self bubble is real handy too, especially if you get acrobatics and some kind of res shield for a patron power. You'll be a Brruptor!

Ah yes. I seem to be permanently thinking about PvP these days, and noone stays still long enough to keep in the larger bubble.

Ooooh, you hit the damage cap with defiance? Sweet!

Thermal has better res shields, but the mez protection should be really useful for PvP

Bizarro build there! No damage in attacks seems so very wrong! Can't deny that it works tho I've used similar macros when I had fly on my blapper (now more sensible travel powers) to switch between fly and hover.

Could you post your build? I've tried a few on a planner but I don't think I focus enough - there are too many nice looking toys in the secondary for me to make a nice streamlined build. Have you ignored the tp foe onto tripmines idea?

Your method is slightly flawed but your result is about right

Re kronos: I've got En primary and not enough slots to go around being only 32 so it's only worth using when I really need it.

Sinergy_X: Yeah, it should read "Boosts most non-damage effects"

ooh pretty! I love the stark contrast when just black and white are used in comics and the ones you've done like that are great!
I'm Transpose, by the way. Unfortunatly I've zoomed up in level at quite a rate (playing when I should have been working!) so I don't think we'll get much chance to team up again for a while

I agree there! Power boost is totally awesome but I only really bring it out on special occasions, eg getting a massive +accuracy to break through a PFF, or take down Paragon Protectors. Or if I want to send things flying a very long way when I go nova Conserve Power would be really useful to me since I can't fight for much longer than about 2 attack chains (with buffs) and I imagine many other single target blapper types have the same problem. Good thing that every last mother<bleep> in the room is dead by that point!
But please, if you ever have any intention to blap you must take energy punch - the energy punch, bonesmasher 1-2 combo delivers a huge amount of damage very quickly (due to very short animations). If you PvP that'll be a lot of toggles dropped and there's a damn good chance that your target will be stunned. Power Boost, Buildup and the 1-2 punch is very effective indeed.

Not seeing where TGs shots come from is a huge benefit for him - the target doesn't know where to run for one thing.

Also, just falling down for apparently no reason provokes a reaction of OMGWTFhappenedthere!!1!!

Been thinking about Jacobs Ladder. How useful is a sleep to a Brute?

Grounded is possibly a power that could be left out too.

I think the key to this one is the high damage it mentions. Also, I can imagine it looks real cool!
