Well, EvilLudicrouse is level 18 now, dont think im doing too bad.
He is a Dark/Therm build.
I currently only have 4 primary attack powers and 3 secondary powers.
I have been known to out heal Therm builds who are 2 or 3 lvls above myself quite easily as i have optimised more for healing than raw damage, as i have the feeling id rather stay alive longer than have to wait for health recharge.
I think most ATs only start to flesh out in their twenties. Most of you teens (actually.. ALL of your teens, unless you get some powers early) are spent getting travel and fitness powers.
I'm enjoying my ice/cold a lot now at 18. I don't have any of the holds yet but I have 3 ice blasts, the rain and the breath and infrig/snow storm in the secondary. Luckily cold seems to be a late blooming set so I don't have to worry about a lot of the powers until 20+ anyway.
The damage isn't amazing but that's probably because I'm slotting accuracy all over the place at this level. I'm sure once I hit SO's and get 3 damage SO's in each damage power, it will start to ramp up a bit more. Then with freezing rain at 35, even more so.
It plays like an offender, which is nice.
I have to say i'm loving my rad/rad at the moment,
i've taken most of the primaries and less in the secondaries only rad infection, accelerated metabolism and the heal so far. However i've made sure i concentrate on slotting my secondaries first.
basically at the moment almost nothing can hit me, i get boosted end recovery and damage and if any hits do get through i can heal.
I'm up to 22 with Ateria, my Dark/Dark corruptor, and I'm loving it. I've taken 4 powers from each set (Dark Blast, Gloom, TT and Nightfal from primary, Twilight Grasp, Tar Pit, Darkest Night and Fearsome Stare from the secondary), plus the obligatory 2 travel and 3 fitness powers. I've got decent damage both on single target and AE - especially with Tar Pit, my healing is brilliant (197 points with 2 SOs atm - why the hell do people think thermal is the most "healer"-esque of corruptor powersets? They're doing about that with their single target heal and way way less with their AE) and the Acc debuff from DN and the three cones is wonderfull.
In fact, I like corrupting so much I've just started an AR/Traps alt
My Corrupter is lvl 19 now and has the Energy/Ice build.
I have to say its a mainly damage orientated build which also is a very good team combo but also able to solo quiet good.
I focused on attacks but also got decent secondary stuff like mass slowdown. The only thing that i have to mourn is that u cant cast the icearmours onto urself - just on ur allies.
But i really like this build as i dont see many with it. to be honest havent seen anyone with this build yet.
OK so my main alt is now L19. He is a fire/rad corruptor and I feel he is just starting to come into his own.
Just wondered how everyone else has balanced the attack/defense of their corruptors. I've only just taken my 3rd attack (as I seem to be constantly teaming with brutes so haven't needed uber damage)
Anyway he is becoming a nicely rounded character, and I can see a really solid team/soloer/pvper emerging from this AT.
How are other corruptors progressing? Any problems with particular power choices?
