You are very AoE heavy - Fireball, Rain, Fire Breath, which is great for teams, but not so hot for soloing (especially as all of those are pretty endurance heavy)
Cycling Fireblast and Blaze should be ok to see you through at a reasonable rate, but you might want to consider taking Blazing Bolt as a swap for one of your AoEs (personally I never got on with fire breath, but YMMV).
Failing that, switch the recharge in Fireball for an end red, and use your slots at 39 to put end reds in your AoEs.
You're right, this is a great combo, but it really shines in a large team with large spawns. As Cap says, I would simply adjust slotting a bit to get some EndRdx in your AoEs (don't know if it's even worth respeccing though, since your power choices are fine). You can probably take some slots from:
- Rad Infection: 3 TH_Debuf 1 DefDeBuf and 1 EndRdx
- Lingering Rad: 1 Slow is enough since it only affects movement (not recharge) speed
- Enervating Field: can probably get away with 2 EndRdx unless it's a very long fight
- Acro: maybe 1 EndRdx for now and add a 2nd later?
Hope some of this helps!

I have thought long and hard about this and I have decided to keep my precious respec until lvl 42 and respec then.
1. To get shiney new lvl 45 SO's for near cost price (SG Mode)
2. This will give me time to test my corrupter on the test server with the respec.
I will just team at the moment and if a team is hard to find I will go onto test from time to time.

One of the things I will test. Capt. I had the same problem with Fire breath to start off with as the power is situational and not worth the end drain to use when solo but its AOE damage (on teams) is too much to drop it just for solo play.

These are things I am currently thinking about for my respec although I think I am going to be forced to take Mu Mastery for the PPP to get power sink after I take my shield.
Lots to test.
Thanks for advise folks, but it looks like im just gonna have to get used to the fact I will not be able to run solo on relentless EVER, unlike my mastermind. I do however think I can improve my solo play on vicious.
One question: Why do you think you're supposed to solo on relentless?

Where did I say I thought I was supposed to.
I did state twice that I could solo on relentless with my MM and was probably spoilt with that.
When you where playing your necro/dark MM solo, what setting did you have it on MAX.
You need to have it on Relentless to make it fun, and thats a fact because anything below relentless is no challenge at all to a necro/dark MM. Apart from AV mishions.
I was asking originally could I improve my corrupter to do paper mishions
[ QUOTE ]
Maybe this build of a corrupter is just suited to teaming in general and could never be improved/played solo to the extent where you can solo papers on relentless. I never ever really soloed so my experiences are coming from trying papers solo last night. I exited the game feeling rather weak.
I must stress I am maybe spoilt in the fact that my MM could solo anything apart from AV's with realative easy on relentless. I also made this alt specifically for teams/SG, although thought that at lvl 38 things would get a bit easyier for the times I am forced to solo.

I play mine on 1st-3rd setting, and find it fun. I know I could play on relentless, but I do not want to, like I don't with any other character either, even though lots of them could do it.
Why don't you MaX?
1) I don't like outlevelling content
2) I like only having to slot one ACC SO, so I can use 2 non-dam/acc slots in my attacks, making them more efficient.
3) I don't see a point in facing things one level higher, if there's something that's going to be challenging it'll usually be challenging at a lower level as well.
4) I don't want to change my rep every time I get an AV mish
I personally didn't find anything challenging about playing a necro/dark MM solo on lvl 3 from the moment I got my first set of SO's. Even on lvl 5 the times I died where minimal and where mostly due to inherent pet problems.
I guess I just like to play as close to the edge as is possible, and thats the way I like to play with all my alts. I find thats the way my friends and SG mates like to play also which does suit me.
Please dont think I am having a go at you MAX our playstyle obviously differs and thats fine.
I have heard teams asking people to up the rep more than I have heard them ask to lower it. Which makes me believe the vast majority of people like to play as close to the edge as possible.

Being in a team is not an issue with this corrupter but solo is proving to be a bit of a nightmare. Soloing I am finding it difficult to complete a paper mish without a full tray of insp's and uing demonic accolade on the vicious setting.
I can complete it going very slowly with the Rad infection pull behind line of sight method, this has been the case from day one but now with me being lvl 38 I thought it would be much easier to complete paper mishions on the highest difficulty NOT A CHANCE.
I team as much as I can but there is not always teams available at my lvl, so to fill in the gap I would like to do papers as the bigger story arcs are a pain to solo and I wait for a team to complete them.
Maybe this build of a corrupter is just suited to teaming in general and could never be improved/played solo to the extent where you can solo papers on relentless. I never ever really soloed so my experiences are coming from trying papers solo last night. I exited the game feeling rather weak.
I must stress I am maybe spoilt in the fact that my MM could solo anything apart from AV's with realative easy on relentless. I also made this alt specifically for teams/SG, although thought that at lvl 38 things would get a bit easyier for the times I am forced to solo.
Don't know uf anyone can help here but if you can any suggestions they would be appreciated.
Endurance is a killer.
