get the T1 and T2 blasts, the 40ft blast means you have to close distance with your target, not really something you want to do.
I think power push fully slotted for kb knocks down all squishies except those who spend gagillions on -kb IOs. That aside, nrg damage is meh.
Personally i would take something like this (Below). Switched out soulstorm for Enforced morale because soulstorm is quite long animation + leave the mezzing up to your team. Also because some people won't have perception so enforced morale is nice for that and if you arena it helps alot to stack enforced morale on your team if you happen to be fighting any doms. I re-arranged the powers in the order i would take them (not that it matters if you're pvping at 50).
I dropped powerbolt cause the damage is crap and picked up power burst. Although it's close range its going to be the most dmg you can put out and you generally dont want to be attacking unless your teams target is low anyway.
Lastly, i picked up powerboost. This is a great power to use in situations when heal decay is starting to kick in.

Hmmm, I can definitly see taking out Power bolt because the damage is low, I really do think I need power burst to pump out decent damage, after pvp'ing with and without it in SC it seems to make a big difference. Also, I am taking soul storm because it does knockdown to melee's, its pretty much the reason I went soul.
Is enforce moral necesary? I know its useful, but is it more useful than my 2nd single target heal or world of pain?

Dom powerpush can get up to 51 mag, but sadly corr can only get to 41.3. ANd if course I need to have some acc in there so it ends up being short of what most people build for, but its definitly useful in SC and for people who didn't build KB protection.

Give the person the benefit of your experience with the pros and cons so they can add to what little of a community there is left.
Basically this applies to forums too:

I was just thinking I needed more parents. You showed up just in time.
Just so we are clear and sarcarsm doesn't always translate into text, this was indeed sarcasm.
If your idea of being helpful is trying to police people to make the pvp community better you are in for a long rough ride. gl hf
Edit: while I am here. If you are going to do mostly zones don't underestimate power push. Far fewer people have the kb protection you would think. In fact on freedom in rv I have had days where I spent hours knocking people around with just spirit sharh on my stalker. Seeing the damage on power push is meh I would probably do 4 kin crashes( all the kb pieces) and 1 acc io or two depending on how your slotting is going. As a pain dom I wouldn't worry a whole lot about damage tbh. Make sure to get enforced morale if you are teaming it makes stuns hurt alot less on a squishy. Never ever skip wop. I know the kbing melee toons sounds awesome and all but really there is better power investment on a pain dom. The reason you do soul is for pbed heals to help with heal decay in zones and to help deal with spikes in arena. I have a nrg pd but he is not pvp speced and on a dead server. If i was to tranfer him or recreate him I would probably go blast burst and push for attacks and add aim from the primary. Everything but the rez from the secondary and skip ac if you need another power pick to fit in phase. Just my two cents though.
Duel me.
I will work on my sig pic more when I have time.

I think I saw your Corr in SC this weekend if it has a similiar name as your forum avatar (good times). Definitely need to work something into the build that ups your damage output b/c I felt like I could focus on someone else in your team and then come back to you even though you were attacking as well. Take a look at WoP...for 90 seconds you get a 16% dmg buff along with decent + resistance and + to hit depending on how you slot. Not sure how much the DR hit counts for...but with some recharge, you can get it from 240 secs down to like 70 secs.

Also I am pretty sure the reason someone said "lol energy" is because the OP said "don't say lol energy."

Yeah, but you have to admit that if you do a search on the pros...more times then not there is a lot of critical input going on when someone is simply looking for helpful advice.

Here's my attempt at trying to be helpful by fast forwarding the convo...this is usually the point in these discussions where a lot of you call the offensive person a lamo, baddo, retardo and accuse them of having downs syndrome and using the internet connection at White Castle to play. Fulfill your forums PvP destiny.

I get what you are trying to do. I told you it wouldn't go well. Also this statement here, highly ironic.

Alright so i made an energy/pain corruptor for zones and arena and seeing how the only corr i've played is a dark/cold (MUCH different than a pain), im not really sure what powers to pick.
The must have powers are Nullify Pain, soothe, soothing aura, share pain, Aim, Power push, hurdle/health/stam, hasten/ss, CJ/SJ/acro, and stealth/invis/phase, dark embrace and soul storm.
I also dont know what blasts to get. Can I get along with Power Blast/Power Burst or Power Bolt/Power burst? are they necesary?
Do I need power boost for powerboosted soul storm, or powerboosted heals/painbringer?
On my sample build I took all 3 blasts but did not have room for soul storm, wondering if I should drop a blast, drop world of pain, pain bringer, or just go without power boost.
Heres the build with the powers i took that I think i need, but need to know if i should include soul storm and what to take out.
