CORRUPTOR GUIDES

This thread is for posting Guide or FAQ links for Corruptors. Please create your guides in the "Player Guides" forum (since posts in that section do not roll off) and link the thread here. Also, do not post your guide in this thread - only the link to your guide. For non-Corruptor guides, check the master list of all Guides in the Guide to Guides.

If you wish to submit a Corruptor guide to the list, please place the link in this thread. We cannot sift through the hundreds of individual threads to find a posting, so be sure to 1) place your guide in the "Player Guides" forum, nowhere else and 2) post a link to it in this "Corruptor Guides" thread!

There's a surprising lack of corruptor guides, relative to other classes. Why is that?

Here is a guide to the making the ultimate 3-6 man corruptor team, utilizing Radiation Emission as the secondary set for every player in the team:

Everyone's playing Masterminds or Thermal Corruptors, I'd wager.

And I find that sad. At this rate I'll probably have enough to write my own guide before an AR/Traps guide goes up. And seeing how I just rolled my first corruptor this morning...

I created a Build Guide for Energy/Dark Corrupters. Just wanted to let you all know it's up there and ready for your approval/disapproval.


The Ultimate Nuking & Support Corrupter: Energy/Dark

Use it in Good Health!

What about a Ice/Kin? No one use one or are they sorry?

Actually, I think that there aren't many corruptor guides because you can get most of the information you're looking for in defender or blaster guides. (Although I'd agree that a corruptor plays rather differently.)

Fire/Dark Corruptors: Do You Debuff?

Well, I am fairly new to the game (never played Heroes), and have played around with a about four or five villians. One of these is a Corrupter and I haven't seen anything on this particular build, so I may try and write my first guide and am taking notes on what I am finding. My Corrupter is a Dark Blaster/Dark Miasma. His origin comes from Magic. Some may call me an idiot, I don't know, but it is working out for me so far.

Major damage dealer and is able to keep himself healed through the fight. At under level 10, I can already take down two orange mobs and a possible one or even two yellows or whites thrown in for good measure.

To take on 2 orange and 2 yellow, I usually have to have some help from healing or endurance enhancements to get through though. Depends on whether my main opening attack hits or not. Working on putting the proper slots and buffs in my slots to be able to hit every time.

So, if all works out and no one else writes up a guide to the D/D Corrupter, then maybe I will give it a shot.

Happy hunting!

Well, I have a dark/dark corr that I have upto lvl 33 now. If you want to discuss anything for making your guide give me a shout.

Since no one else would do the work for me *pout* here's a Rad/Rad Guide. YMMV.
