Damage heavy Corrupter
Fire is good or so I've heard...
yes but i dont like the whole DoT bit. I fire or an attack to finish the thing off but it dies before it gets there of i wait for it to die only i doesn't and kills me instead.
I know i may seem fussy but i just want a charecter i can enjoy. Also the type ive tried i havent compleatly dismised i would just like to know if there is anything better.
So to clarify, can some one plz tell me the best power set for damage-not damage over time and not damage per second.
If you're teaming with an MM I'd go for Energy/Rad...
Energy does very good single target damage and has knockback to keep the bad guys away from yourself and the squishy MM.
The Rad secondary is great for boss killing as it debuff like crazy and makes even the hardest boss a deadman walking.
(But I am biased towards that combination )
While I know you say you don't like Ice, if you're just saying that because of the holds, I think you should look again. Ice is very nice single-target damage, and it fires off quickly. No DoT, just a chunk of damage. The downside is heavy endurance cost and slow-to-reload attacks. Coupled with Rad or Dark, you can up your damage with -resist powers (Enervating Field and Tar Patch, respectively), but both builds will most likely have endurance issues. I have an Ice/Dark, so it's certainly playable, but keep some CaBs around with either build, and make friends with some Kineticists (SB will also have the effect of speeding your attacks up very niely). If you really don't want to play anything that vaguely reminds you of a Dom, go for Rad over Dark, as Dark has more control options. Both are great fun and very useful, anyway.
Ice/Kin could work too, but you risk being a buff-bot for a good while. However, once you get Transference, you'll sort out any endurance problems Ice is causing you, most likely. Also, Fulcrum Shift is an excellent power to help you deal more damage, once you get there. Late-blooming in some ways, but a lot of fun anyway, and probably with less endurance problems since it lacks the toggles of Rad and Dark.
And despite what you said about the holds, they're perfect for stacking on a boss, which fits in very nicely with your idea of neutralising the bosses and lts while your teammates take out the minions. If you really don't want them, though, it's perfectly possible to ignore them outright, and just take the three single-target attacks, Aim, the cone if you like cones (it's quite nice, especially with a -res power down), and then if you like them, the two rain powers of Ice Storm and Blizzard. Blizzard is ridiculously good fun and very powerful. If you go for Ice/Kin, after I7 hits, you'll be able to use Fulcrum Shift and then drop Blizzard, and it will be buffed by Fulcrum Shift.
If you just don't like Ice altogether then ignore this, but I just wanted to make sure you knew it had benefits other than a couple of holds.
As ive said earlier ive got a energy corruptor and alough the knock back is usefull most of the time it can get anoying, foes go out of range, pulling is all but impossible. I love sniper atacks, but the energy one has to much knock back, i try to pull the closest minion-he gets knocked back through the entier mob which all comes after me. result more debt. Ive been enjoying rad/rad it seems fairly good loads of AoE and very quick recharge times though the defense debuff doesn't seem to do much and dark/dark seems ok but it leans a bit towards the buff & hold/slow heavy side, but not too much. Any advice on which would be best would be helpful.
So you don't want Fire, Ice or Energy?
Go Rad so. Dark is probably the least damaging (although not widely resisted) but most controlly Blast power.
For Damaging seconderies Kinetics is the obvious winner once you get to 38 thanks to Fulc Shift. Rad secondarys debuffs make things safer though.
Pulling with energy.. pffft n00b :P
Stick a ranged enhancement in Radiation Infection and you've got an accuracy and defense debuffing pull that you can easily survive (especially if you can also stealth)
Used this all technique against relentless mobs all the way through my 30s.
thanks for the advice ive decided to go rad/rad.
That's an excellent tactic, one I've been using for ages. You don't need range enhancers in there tho.

CRUELY TAKEN FROM THIS WORLD WHILE SO YOUNG
i had a low lvl fire/thermal corr ok so fair enough it wasn't for my play style but while questing with a same lvl ice corr i found my self getting heavily out dmg'd by the ice/ice and was more than a little suprised.
Since then i made a dark/rad corr which i like, not the greatest dmg in the world but mass survivability lvl . Also that ice/ice corrupter made another corr energy/kenetics and he says it's awsome.
so far u have tried primary's rad, fire, ice, dark and en.... hmm is that all of them O_o. secondary's i have tried are thermal, ice and rad amd i really like rad i think purley for the fact of being able to move while healing, though my highest lvl corr is only 12
the rad/rad is working well, lvl 5 so far, i would contine with my energy if some one could give me some advice on using the siper blast i would be very happy.
Rad/Rad is very soloable ... if you are looking for damage output, could I suggest Sonic as a primary? A HUGE amount of fun ... the whale song might drive you mad though...

you into the world
oh yeah forgot about my sonic rad corr lol i made a topic about him, i didn't like it too many short range attacks but it does do a fudge load of dmg
