Looking to roll a Corrutor, help me decide

This is my first Corruptor, and I'm looking at something /Dark or /Kin. So what goes well with those two sets? I don't want to go with Fire Blast, as I just hit dinged 50 on a Fire Blaster. And I'm not too sure about Dark Blast (its look just doesn't appeal to me). Other than that, who has suggestions?

Dark/Kin gives you soft control on top of your debuffs.

You can up Dark's dmg output with the Kin secondary to help yourself out.


While with Dark Miasma, everyone will tell you do Fire/Dark cuz its uber. But I feel Ice/Darks are just as good, you lack 1 less AoE Power(Fireball), but you both still got the Tar Patch+Rain of (insert name)

I did watch someone play a Rad/Dark, they seemed to enjoy it greatly.

I own 3 Corrs

My top Fav is Darkmire(Dark/Dark Corr) Mostly cuz He can tank stuff & I love him since he was my first vill.

Though at very very close 2nd, if sentimental value was not there could be number 1, is my Sonic/Sonic Corrupter. I love that toon a ton, I highly suggest checking it out, it starts slow & feels sluggish, but will blossom into a monster


My 3rd was a Ice/Thermal, though it was built for pure support, My least fav, cuz Ive never been a fan of ice, thats just me. I didnt enjoy a pure support role(Double XP weekend thing we did). So I been pondering respecing it.

I'm not in the majority here, but you could reasonably match up elec/ to /dark & /kin

Elec/dark has a reasonable number of aoes, which matches well with the tar patch debuffs, and the control aspects of each will probably make ya reasonably soloable. Not to mention you will eventually get TWO pets (voltaic sentinel & dark servant) to do your ebil biddings.

Elec/kin is the corr I'm working on now with emphasis on sapping (not uber, but not shoddy either). Spamming the end drain powers, I can generally solo EBs. Elec still remains versatile, with a reasonable single target hold; kin brings in the -spd debuffs and -dmg/+dmg powers. Again, pretty soloable - but /kin always makes ya welcome on teams.

You can either stack drains with Elec/Kin or slows with Ice/Kin. A held target is also a nice siphon target and gives you a reliable location to heal off of.

Dark allows you to stand back from the mob. Ice Storm/Blizzard with Tar Patch is sexy. You can also stack elec hold with dark hold, Ice can stack holds within it's own primary set.

It all works. I'm a nutso for anything electric, but you'll find more "buff elec!" threads than Ice here.

Dark Miasma is more easy mode than Kin, but you'll find being a Kin gets you on more Brute led herding/ITF/etc. teams.

ANY vet team worth their salt will take a Dark Miasma toon.

Thank you, City of Heroes, for giving me a superhero social network combined with amazingly smooth game play. Petitions signed with realistic expectations.

Dark/Dark is good. Pretty safe in fact.

Sonic/Dark is great. As or even more uber then Fire/Dark.

For /Kin I suggest Electric. Sapper city.

Sonic/Kin is good if you solo much. You can sleep a whole spawn, except for any bosses. And /Kin buffing doesn't wake up slept enemies.

This is because they're awesome. I've been playing the game for 5 years, and I have only two characters at level 50: My Dark/Rad Defender and my Rad/Dark Corruptor.

I play a Rad/Dark Corrupter. He's only in his high teens, but I enjoy him.

Strong endorsement. Maybe I'll have to try one.

"Hi, my name is Ail. I make people sick."
A partial selection from my 50's on Freedom: Ail = Ice/Traps, Luck = Street Justice/Super Reflexes Stalker, Mist = Bane, Pixy = Trick Arrow/Archery, Pure = Gravity/Energy, Smoke = Fire/Fire Dominator

Fire/Dark is the bomb.

for the longest time i felt the same way, dark's look just didnt appeal to me. then i took the plunge and rolled a dark/dark corr. now at lvl 43 and I LOVE HIM ! the debuffs that dark grants are awesome, plus Dark Servant is a win. You will soon wonder why you ever hesitated based on looks.

Rad/Dark is a fantastic power house and it looks awesome!!!
Cosmic Burst is one of the best single attack powers ever.
Lotsa -DEF to make sure your heal hits.

Ice/Dark is great for locking stuff up.
3 HOLDS!!!!

Sonic/Dark is a -res machine and good at locking stuff.
Seriously, with the -res in tar pit and all your primaries.
Heres a list of the fun things that go.
2 Cone Damage Powers
1 Cone Fear
1 Ranged Hold
1 Ranged Stun
1 AOE sleep
1 AOE Slow + -res.
Banshee theme!!!

It's unorthadox It's unpopular but energy/thermal is so much fun for me. The attacks are good lots of AOE it can solo fine and is reasonably good on teams to boot!
