probably the same reason defenders don't have fire as a secondary. They haven't got to it yet would be my guess.
Because it's to sexy for us.
Real answer is because they haven't gotten to it yet.

Would we want it really? I mean, I think it got nerfed fairly hard when it got ported to Blasters. I wouldn't care to play it on a corruptor personally.

1. Haven't got around to it yet, and there's no real thematic pairing for it (though that didn't stop some previous proliferation).
2. They probably can't decide whether to give Corruptors the Defender version, the Blaster version, or something in between.

I don't want it >.<
If we got the defender version I'd probably make one, wouldn't bother if we got the blaster version.

I subsribe to its all the above. I have been wanting the Defender Psi set corruptor side since launch. Imagine my joy trying to make my Psi villain and going my only choice is a Mind/Psi Dominator in the prelaunch weekend. Granted we did finally get some real Psi with Fortunata. That and Dominator Psi just got some much needed attention.
Villain side had a very low Psi potential with only Dominators having access to it. Not sure what the reasoning was back then I thought people said it was for PVP reasons. But I doubt that was the offical reason. Much like the nashing of teeth about Blasters getting Psi.
The Blaster Psi rework dropped the extra AOE, the Immoble to and to add AIM and better fit the blaster power sets mold.
At least they sped up the Psi power set activation times. For my money the Defender set is more fun than the blaster set.
Maybe going Rouge will put a little color on the cheeks of corruptors this way.

Most likely, Corruptors didn't get Psy "in the beginning" because the Devs considered it the thematic pair to Empathy, which was deemed too heroic for Villains. I suppose they could have gotten it with Pain Domination, but that probably would have made people demand proliferation for all the ATs. Currently, as others have said, they probably don't have it because the devs haven't gotten around to proliferating it yet.
And when Corruptors do get it, I'm sure they'll get the Defender version. The Blaster version dropped an attack because Blasters can make it up with the attacks in their secondaries. Since Corruptors can't do that, I'm sure they'll get the version with Psionic Tornado.

I agree! I hope for both here, but since we're promoting psy right now, let me give my thoughts about redside psy blast. I, like the majority assumingly, would prefer defender psy over blaster psy. Though, I imagine that when time will come, the everchanging psy blast will get one another version change, into what I hope will be a combo of blaster and defender types.

HelinCarnate:OMG it is so terrible. I have the option to take 3 more powers but no additional slots. Boo F'ing hoo.
I love Psi anything and enjoy playing a Corr more than a Defender or Blaster, so I'm hoping that we get Psi blast soon.

edit: I'd also like Poison for Corrs. I think it'd need some tweaking but the debuffs are damn nice. I am also ashamed to admit if corrs got FF (even though I've already got a cold and cold spanks ff) I'd make a fire/ff corr. I already made up a rough build for one in Mids just to mess around with.

also, remember how underwhelming psi blast is in PVE when it comes to blasters. it does not even begin to compare to fire (for aoe) or ice (for single target dps).
i think we don't have psi because during proliferation rounds, psi blast would have required them to rework the blast set in the way they did it for blasters and since there's a lot less players red-side, it did not seem like a worthwhile pay off if they could just do it first for blaster, data-mine and figure stuff out. then giving corrs TA without archery would have made a lot of RP-ers e-angry so they didn't give it to us back then.
...anyways.
psi blast on corrs would mean i'd need to make a 4th cold corr... which is not as thrilling as it sounds.
I demand for Corrupters(

Psi Primary(Defenders version)
FF Secondary
Poison Secondary(They can make Tier 9, toggle on players)

I always thought this was odd myself, considering how villains get way more Psi damage thrown at them than heroes do on average. If they're going to keep most of the Psi damage to themselves then we should have be able to keep most of the secondaries with Psi resistance to ourselves as well. Otherwise share the damn blast sets already!
Psi is definitely a thematic choice to go with Pain Dom as well. It should have been proliferated then.

But as others have mentioned when we do get Psi blast it will probably be the dorked up Blaster version.
I would certainly play Psi/Sonic, Psi/FF (if we got FF as well) and Pis/Kin.
I might even tap Psi/Cold to focus on adding to the secondary.
This of course means I would need to purchase more slots.

If I want to make a Psi toon I feel like I have several options, including a VEAT, so it doesn't pinch me too badly that there's no Psi for Corrs. If we can get it, fine, but I don't really feel too constrained.
However, I really would like to see Poison get proliferated. The idea that all that work went into making a secondary for a single AT seems like a huge waste.
Poison could be proliferated to Corrs, Defs, and Trollers with very little effort, it seems to me.
Does any one know why there is no psy primary for corrs?
