Rad/Pain, advice and suggestions please.

Hey guys, was recently looking through my builds and really have nothing I would consider worth investing for a pvp toon. So after looking through the options I decided that I liked how Rad/Pain looked on paper and though I would ask for some advice and post my build to see what you all think.

First off this would be a bit of a hybrid build. Not fully optimized for pvp I figured to IO this out and then start working on a full blown pvp toon. I know Im rather green when it comes to serious pvp, especially as a corruptor so any advice is welcome. You dont need to feel the need to be nice if its a terrible build

My first thoughts are to drop weave for Focused Accuracy, mostly as a perception buff though I dont think the to hit and accuracy woudl hurt either. I think the build can handle the extra endurance. Especially if I only toggle it on when It is nessesary.

With this build the defense just isnt there. I built more for regen and hp.

Drop fighting for concealment. You will need phase for team PvP, and the fighting pool really doesn't help you at all. You should probably switch to the Ghost Widow epic, for the better res shield, and potentially power boost.

Slot your heals with at least one Range IO.

Make sure your travels are slotted well so you can get to people quickly in team matches to heal them.

I'm sure someone has a build that they can throw you for some more specific slotting/power choice advice.

Big things I can see is first.... not enough KB protection, shoot for 41 at least.

No escape power (Phase/Hiber) Most support spec Corrs will run Phase/Soul mastery for power boosted heals.

As far as set bonuses go beyond not enough KB, shoot for 1500 - 1600 HP if possible and a good 40-50% global recharge. I think you went for too much Regen and your attacks are no where near proc'ed enough. Each attack can easily take the lady grey and shield breaker procs, if you can afford them the apoc and gladiators Jav procs are nice too. I'd go for at least 2 procs per attack. NB you could go for three. (Ideally Apoc/Jav/Lady Grey)

Also, two things if you are going for support role, first two target heals could use one to two ranges in them. Second, need to actually put some travel speed into your travel powers if you ever hope to catch up to anyone to heal them. And finally skip the Rez/Boxing/Tough/Weave, get Acro and an escape power (phase/Hiber)

*edit* Dang Dr. F beat me to it. :P

Thanks people, going for 41 KB seems like alot of sacrafices to other stuff but I will look into it. Im guessing gladiator sets would be needed for that. Those are a long way off from what I heard of the prices, i havent looked yet not sure I want to. I had thought of pushing the defenses high enough but again too many sacrafices (I think like I said new to this). I had considered procing out the attacks better as well but wanted to see what others thought first.

The resist toggle is a bit of a waste with how often world of pain comes up. Tough was just to cap the resists while WoP was up and extra resist during the down time if any is minimal.

However your thinking of me as a buff bot and there fore probally only popping WoP when I have teammates to buff. I gave up a long time ago on being the damage dealers buff bot. Most of the time you never get any credit. At the end of the match everyone oohs and aws at the kill count and no one mentions the emp or kin who worked his butt off to allow that player to get the kills. The buffs are primarly there for PvE till I optimize the build though I to keep most of them if not all. Its nice to be able to do those support functions when needed but I dont want to be just that.

Also and I know Im a bit new to this stuff, actually technically its more that its been a very long time for me. I used to do some arena stuff with some people who did test though I never had the urge to do test pvp and none of them still play. I have always played, in pvp and pve that if you need a heal you should be heading toward your healer not away. Range and speed slotting are good if you can spare it, and I can with that build I have a few small regen bonus slottings that can go elsewhere but a buffer should not have to chase someone to heal him. Chasing people for buffs, well im 50/50 on that one but my experiance was arena and that did not often come up or you buffed when you crossed paths. Zones I can see it being an issue.

The KB protection isnt so bad, just gets expensive. No Glad pieces needed.

Karma in Stealth/Invis/CJ
Steadfast in WoP/DE
Zephyr (Where it gets expensive) in CJ/SJ/SS

Here's a quick example I threw together over lunch.

Thanks Ill take a look at that when I can, on the mac side of my cpu right now. Have to reboot into windows look at mids but I prefer playing on the mac OS and I have to go right now or I would do it.

I also refined my build. I did drop the fighting pool and pick up the concelament pool. Also switched to a build that used some procs and damage IO's.

Going to look up this build soon as I get a chance. I would love to see where the crazy KB protection is coming from if not gladiators.

Oh also how important is that. I know there are a few powers like Force bolt and bah cant rember the other names that get that high but really how often is that used. Also there is supression on that last I remberd but I do recall a bug or something where you could be dribbled if that is not fixed yet then I understand the need for the KB protection.

Ah ok I understand now. I was under the mistaken impression that the defense and resistance KB protections would not stack. Well I thought they would up until 5 of the same bonus.

Thanks all for the advice, now I have my new project to level up while I work on my SS SR. At least to give me something to attempt to pvp with.
