Help me choose a villain !


Cynic

So, after spending a fair bit of time heroing, I've decided to take the plunge and make a villain . My dilemma tho is what to make, most of my heroes are trollers or defenders ,and i like the support role within a team , so i'll be looking to make a corruptor or dominator but there my knowledge ends !

I'm looking more for something that can buff the team or debuff the nasties, as i won't be soloing it much , tho the ability to be annoying to heroes in the pvp zones would be a plus

I realise it's there's probably many types that would do the job ,but any suggestions are very welcome .

Ice- Very High single target damage, two holds (one sucky one: Bitter Freese Ray)

Radiation- A heal (does NOT make you a healer), amazing debuffs, a v good buff, and a PBAoE toggle hold.

If you want to be buffer/debuffer the corruptor is the way to go. There are two primaries I would consider viable choices in your situation: ice/ for -slow and -recharge (and really good single target damage) and sonic/ for -res (stackable and combined with /kinetics a nightmare for opponents with high res). Rad/ and dark/ debuff too, but I think they are not that good overall although rad/ has some nice synergy with /kinetics.
As a secondary I also have two suggestions, although it is really down to what you want for concept and/or playstyle: /kinetic for superior buffing/debuffing of speed and damage (with the disadvantage of being forced to play like a lunatic) and /rad for the ability to debuff anything to nothingness (but the need to explain anchors to team members). Again, there are other sets for buffing/debuffing, but I do not think they are on par with the above-mentioned two.
My favourite corruptors are an ice/rad and a sonic/kin. Both can, if played well, easily turn the tide of a difficult AV battle to the teamĀ“s favour.




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.

If no one else will mention /cold I will. Its without a doubt my favourite corruptor to team with, I have no idea what it's like to play but it makes me feel super powered having one on the team. The debuffs are nice, the buffs are handy and Heat Loss is the best end recovery I've ever been on the end of.

They're now putting it all together.

with one leg missing
Eight legs, one body, silk,
spider, brilliant!"
