Corruptor, how is this archtype?
-What do you think of the corruptor in pvp and pve?
PVE Great support character but can also lay down massive damage. Can solo quite well but works best as a team characters (primary healers in CoV)
-What kind of builds are mostly used?
Many and varied primary is blaster like and pretty much up to personal preference
-Is this archtype similar to some archtype of the hero side? if yes which?
Blaster primary with defender secondaries
-What is the primary role of the Corruptor in battle?
Support but my Energy Rad is a great boss killer
-And what dose Issue 7/the future bring for the corruptor?
Patron powers give corrupters armour and pets
Thanks, like the sound of the dark/dark combination, can anyone say something about that?
And again feel free to answere the questions which i posted in the first post even if someone else have answered them, its always nice with more opinions =)
My Ice/Cold although only 10 (i think ahead) is to reduce incoming damage though slow efects, debuff defence and resistance so they fall faster to, while doing some nice damage, especialy with scourges. Quite an offensive support toon.
I7 if those AV changes go through corrupter debuffs will be invaluable especialy -regen ones. Plus we can buff powers like ice storm and sleet. which will be jolly nice
p.s i dont pvp often but if you build specificly for it or some pve build you can do very nicely

Excellent choice
The dark primary is on the low end of corr primarys when it come to damage, but it's still perfectly decent, plus you get a nice acc debuff from the attacks (particularly useful with your two cones), while the dark secondary is just plain awesome. In terms of pure damage mitigation, it's as good as you can get, though again, the offensive side isn't spectacular (Tar Patch is very good, but it can't compare to , say, a /Rads def and res debuffs, or a /kins damage and rech buffs). A big plus for me is that there's lots of different types of powers - you're not stuck doing just one thing - you can debuff, buff, heal, control, blast (both single target and AE), *and* you've got a pet . Soloing is a little slow - though safe - but teams will love you (even the RUH34L3R? lot can complain too much, as you have an awsome heal)
Okay cool, have you had any experince with the dark/dark corruptor in pvp? if yes, how is it?
And the pet you were talking about, is it to any use for us?

Not done a lot of PvP, but from my experience it's rather so-so. You lack massive burst damage, which limits your killing ability. Still, I wasn't useless, especially on large team battles. If you're after a PvP monster though, look elsewhere (I've heard very good things about Ice/Cold, though as I said, my experience is limited)
As to Fluffy - as the pet is known - he's pretty good. Has Twilight Grasp (PBAE heal), Darkest Night (Acc/damage debuff), Petrifying Gaze (hold) Tenebrous Tentacles (cone Immob.) and Chill of the Night (PBAE Acc debuff - ever stood next to a CoT demon lord?). So, pretty much a mini version of you. Really needs to get into melee though - both to get CotN working, and so he takes damage, as he won't heal unless he's hurt. Oh, and contrary to what some people say, he can be kept out permanently (provided you remember to recast him )

[/ QUOTE ]There are no real 'healers' in CoV, if you ARE playing a corruptor as a healer, you're ignoring 7 or 8 (depending on set) of your secondary powers, which means that you are, frankly, gimped

Dark miasma may be good, but trust me mate, don't go for dark blast, it is far too weak. That's why I deleted my lvl 37 dark/dark corruptor.
I just started a fire/dark corruptor (level 14 atm) and really like the combination of AoE attacks and damage mitigation (Tar Patch + Rain of Fire ftw!!!111!!!). At the same time, I'm also testing an ice/cold which does great single target damage and has nice synergies between the sets with the massive slows.
CoX 50s: <ill/rad> <ice/ice> <fire/kin> <grav/sonic> <ice/storm> <earth/kin> <kin/elec> <cold/psy> <thugs/dark> <fire/dark> <dark/elec> <night widow> <EM/ninj> <mind/icy>
A friend of mine is currently playing a Rad/Kin and it seems like a very good mix, both pools compliment each other nicely.
Thanks all, but can anyone post their opinion on the cons and pros with being an corruptor?

I actually can't say I noticed any cons myself with playing a Corruptor, bar the obvious that your not a tank too. I find them very well rounded. Decent damage, decent debuffs or buffs, interesting powersets. Only thing that I actually find a con when looking at Corruptors is that their Energy Blast primary is not red

My kineticist is my funnest toon bar my Regen back in the day with 6 slotted damage and toggled instant healing.
Theres such a wide scope you can be what you want them to be.
Want to be a troller? Ice/Dark
Want to be the healer? */Thermal
Want to be a blaster? */Traps
Want to debuff? */Dark */Rad
Want to buff and generally pwn all? */Kin
I love corruptors and are my prefered AT in CoV by a long way.
Also you have the chance to completely change yourself during a respec in a similiar way to khelds. You could level yourself up as a 'blaster' and respec into a more support orientated role or visa versa.

Dark blast is grand but the last few powers are sorta rubbish. Torrent and Life Drain certainly are. So theres a bit of a lull in the 20s in its development. The damage isn't too bad with a nice early snipe and you've got the lovely Tentacles & Night Fall combo. I went with Kinetics as a secondary. Siphon Speed gives you great manuvering abilities for laying down the cones, you tend to "joust" the mobs a lots, running in to Tentacle, back for Nightfall and then in close again to slap a heal off. Lots of fun.
A dark / kin corrupter is a support char but Siphon Power & Snipe with scourge does lovely damage.
I played my dark/dark to 40 and really enjoyed it, although mainly for the dark miasma side as dark blast can be seen to be a bit weak...
...although it does give rise to the rather nice tarpit/tentacles/nightfall combination which is great for trashing large groups of closely packed mobs
