Corruptors and Nukes - do you take them?

Hi y'all

Just a quick question, more out of curiosity than anything else - do you guys take your nukes?
I ask because I'm looking at both my rad/rad (currently at 22) and my fire/dark that I have planned for when my raging altitis takes hold again.
My rad/rad will probably be taking the nuke, but the more I look at the build for the fire/dark, the more I'm thinking that Inferno just isn't necessary, and might actually be counter-productive to use (all those toggles dropping... )

So, what about you guys/girls?

My Ice/Dark has hers, and makes regular use of it. Rather tasty over Tar Patch.

Now I don't have FS yet but Transference alone makes Inferno so good that I'd be crazy to skip it.

My Fire/Kin has not only taken Inferno, but also has Fulcrum Shift and Soul Drain (Soul Mastery) pencilled in for extreme overkill. I expect stacks of debt, but never mind.

Conversely, my Sonic/Cold won't be taking his nuke until 49, as I have him built now.

I have fulcrum shift + transference, it would be rude not to.

Fulcrum shift and Blizzard not bad either - and it makes good use of scourge

I have Atomic Blast on my rad/rad corruptor, and I'm respeccing it out at the first opportunity - the enemies have to be standing right next to you to get hit, and it does next to no damage. Waste of a power slot, if you ask me.

I'm keeping EM Pulse, mind.

MY fire/thermal has it and wouldn't leave home without it before I7. Since then, I've had to drop 'aim' to put in TP thanks to the Super Speed hell of Grandville and can't beleive how badly it's affected it.

Before, it would wipe a group of even con's no problem. Now, it leaves them all with a tiny sliver of health and me with shedloads of aggo

best nuke has to be blizzard for corrupters, the scrouge DoT at the end of it is just nuts. Especially how its buffable in issue seven.

Yeah, it's fantastic. It's works well with the self-buffs, and Tar Patch. Duoing my Ice/Dark with a Robots/Dark usually means two Tar Patches, an AoE immob (from the MM's patron pool) if the mobs are likely to run out of it, Aim, and then Blizzard. Sometimes with a red insp or two if we're fighting high levels or just want to see how silly it can get.

I think the best thing I've seen yet was when four or five ambushes of Freakshow ended up stuck in one area as a big group. We ran down a hallway into them, dropped all of that, and I killed almost all of them in one go - a few were just outside of the Blizzard, but the robots finished them off.

I took Blackstar. Is it great? Nope. Is it fun? Oh hell yeah

Well, my sonic/kin teams a lot with a fire/kin. Both have transference, hasten, syphon speed, speed boost, syphon power, aim/amplify, fulcrum shift and their nuke...
I think it might be little bit unfair to mindlessly fulcrum shift nuke almost every single group of half-decent size, but we are villains, so what?




If it has
eyes, you can blind it, if it has blood, you can make it bleed, if it has a mouth, you can make it scream.

Good god i forgot corruptors can get massive buffs and a nuke! * runs off to make a corruptor!*

Well Rad/rad here so Rad infection, enervating field and Atomic blast = big old Kaboom add soul drain in to that and your laughing

I have a rad/rad corruptor.
I took the nuke once and respecced it away quite fast.

Yes...it does very good damage when slotted and such...but as I am a supporter in teams the endurance bit is never worth it.
I took EMP instead...slotted it with 3 hold duration....magnifique.

It drains about 1/8 of your end and you gets -recovery for about 5-8 seconds while even lvl minions at least, are stunned for about 15 seconds (around 25 with 3 hold duration SO's)....much better than a big BOOM and no endurance for the team's only AoE healer

Plus that the other side effects of the EMP is devastating for the enemies.

LR and EMP.....screws up about everything.

....for the enemy that is.

Jeg lytter til havet, og ser tiden som var.
Jeg snakker med fjell, og tiden st�r stille.
Jeg snakker med meg selv, og tiden g�r.
Jeg lukker et �ye, og ser halvt.
Jeg lukker begge, og ser alt.

La meg ligge...
La meg ligge...
La meg ligge...igjen.

Man I love my nuke and can make such a difference. I use it to take out most of a large mob or as a panic button (everyone dying and you cant do anything).

Still find Nova very useful and love beefing it up to create SUPER NOVA'S!!! Having another person with a nuke and destroying everything is a site to behold.
