Sonic/EM blaster probably. More damage than anything else in the game, by a very large margin.
Fire/SS tanks are pretty much 100% unkillable if played right. Of course they don't do quite as much damage as a blaster. They did in I13 lol.
And spines or elec stalkers. Unkillable and capable of good damage.
That's what comes to mind for me.
To give you an idea of a standard test team, it's 1 force field, 2 emps, 2 stalkers. Epic PvP, lol.

I have to disagree. Sonic/EM is definitely one of the top PvP blasters, no doubt there, but saying that it does more damage than anything else in the game by a very large margin is being oblivious. Fire can still put out as much (if not more) damage than Sonic, same with Psy. Sure, they don't have a hard hitting attack like Shout, but you have to take into consideration that in the time it takes for Shout to animate a Fire blaster can cycle Flares and Fire Blast (from 80 ft away even) which will do more damage than Shout, even after factoring in -res. Not to mention how dangerous it is to use an attack that takes nearly 3 seconds to animate on a blaster.
Personally I think stalkers are the top PvP AT. They are extremely hard to kill on the hands of a decent player and are very capable of getting kills both solo and in team. Blasters are up there too, but you will never achieve the safety level of a stalker.

i15 it will be, after the last 2 issues of extreme FOTMs come and go I'm certain every ridiculous combo of ATs will have its issue of Epicness, i13 was Defense sets, not sure about i14 cause I haven't played it (though I do know MA Farms! )
Give it time though, AR/Dark will be FOTM eventually - now whether anyone plays this game when that point hits is another topic all together

I agree with you. The "lol" was b/c I assumed he was making a funny coupled with the fact that I've only seen maybe 3 AR toons in PvP the last issue or so. But based on your post, I have seen a few toons that were considered lulz at 1 point, get buffs and turn out to be decent builds.

Dude it's not even close. I have the oldest fire/em blaster in this game...it's been my main since day 1. And it's a complete and utter joke now compared to sonic/em. Psy was comparable in I13, but not anymore. Sonic is by far the best.
It sounds like you're just biased, since you play a sonic/em, so I'm sure you'd like to think you doing well on it has to do with your skills, and not the fact that it's just the most FotM build in the game right now. A couple weeks ago you got all offended in RV when I said sonic/em is by far the easiest blaster to play. Well, it is. As much as I'd love fire to be comparable, it simply isn't.
whats the situation with -res, res, and all that right now?
also is corruptor -res still utter [censored] compared to defender?
Corrupter's outperform almost every defender counterpart. Defenders no longer get unresisted debuffs...that was the only thing that really made defenders better then corrupters. Corrupter's have more dmg (scourge)....and about the same strength debuffs.....defenders is about 10% stronger across the board last time i check. so as it stand's right now..
Corrupters > Defenders
BTW Supermax......fire is WAY better on corrupters then sonic. I can't speak for the blaster side though.
All debuffs became a lot stronger in I14, compared to I13, because of how DR values are calculated. Basically DR hits debuffs less than before, so they do MOAR.
That's probably part of the reason why sonic became the undisputed #1 set, whereas in I13 it was tied with psy for #1.

So, my old sonic/rad corruptor may not be an under-performer?
Last time i reactivated, had a huge itch for a sonic/cold.
Maybe that.
Yes, sonic/rad and sonic/cold is probably as good as it gets for corrs. In fact, that's what I'd suggest for people that want to play an offensive corr.
Fire has more dmg per second then sonic on corrupter...i have both a fire/rad and a sonic/rad. Slap a hold proc in flares and put the dmg procs in fire blast. And you will wreak havoc on whatever you are fighting. You also want to keep up with your target if you are rad....sonic has horrible root times...so there is a strong chance if you keep rooting your self with sonic they will get out of your range and drop toggles . With fire you don't have that problem. Personally i cant stand my sonic/rad compared to my fire/rad.
That hold proc is a pain in the [censored].

This. On top of hold & dmg procs...2-3 HOs to get better range for the win. My fire Blaster & fire Corr do well still...I had no idea they were utter jokes now.

That's true. Pretty funny how broken it is.
I vote radiation blast and fire blast as my two top corr picks.
Both are fun as [censored] animation time wise.
Sonic animations still suck a donkeys ding dong right?
Yea sonic animations are horrible. But i guess the dmg makes up for it, on blaster at least. Shout on blaster's averages about 500 dmg. But of course every stalker salivates when they see a blaster landing for the shout animation. AS FTW.
I have a sonic corr and do OK. The damage is there. Its nice to see a scourging Shout, but a scourging Scream seems much more dangerous.
