Power House Duo

Looking to get some feed back on possible Duo AT and Powersets. A friend of mine and I are going to create a 2 person team and cant really decide on power sets that would pair together. Our only stipulations are:

1. Must be redside.
2. Must have the same AT and Power Sets; (ie: we are both NRG/NRG Corruptors.)
3. Or the powers must overlap (ie one is Elec/DA brute and the other is Elec/DM Corrptor) same powers sets just different ATs.
4. Damage Heavy
5. No MMs, Widows or crabs

fire/pain corrs

Two Bots/Storm MM's would be unstoppable. Hell, one is unstoppable.

thugs or bots/pain or dark MMs

fire/fire dom fire/fire brute

Unfortunately MM are the only AT that would be 'out'
Things we have been looking at:

• 2 mind/elec Doms
• 2 grav/Nrg doms
• 2 Nrg/Dev Corr
• Elec/DA brute and DM/Elec Cor
• Elec/DA Brute and Elec/DA Stalker
• 2 A/TA Corr
• 2 SS/Fire Brutes

Two Whatever/Traps Corruptors. High Defense and mez protection through double FFGs. Acid Mortars for extra damage. The opportunity to lure enemies into large minefields (Corruptor Trip Mine does Blaster level damage). Seeker Drones to take the Alpha and (effectively) add to your defense. What more could you want?

Unfortunatly unlike Dual Traps Defenders you can't softcap yourselves as easily but it should still be a decent combo.

i was thinking could try

• elec/sr brute and elec/cold dom corr

• fire/sr brute and fire/cold corr

• dark/sr brute and dark/cold corr

I think the Brute/Corruptor combo would be excellent for the damage output you're looking for. A Fire/Dark Corruptor and a DM/Fire Brute would be an interesting pairing.

How experienced are both of you? Are you more interested in long-term or starting off strong?

Long-term, experienced players: I'd go with Fire/Sonic Corruptors or really X/Sonic Corruptors. 2x Dispersion Bubble, put the Hula-Hoop of Doom on each other, stand near each other, get into melee, and start chucking fireballs. Sonic will keep you alive. You get massive resists and mez protection. Fire does a lot of AoE damage and Rain of Fire and Fireball both work from "melee range". Cones aren't as effective point blank.

If you are looking for pure damage output and carnage redside I would suggest dual fire/rad or fire/dark corruptors. My brother and I played a pair of fire/rad corruptors way back when and they tend to steamroll over everything. With the new difficulty settings it would be even easier - turn off bosses, crank up the number of players to 3 or 4 once you get a decent amount of AE damage and go to town.

The key here is to pick up rain of fire and either fireball or firebreath (or both) as early as possible. Then with rad get RI, EF and AM so you stack buffs/debuffs. With dark you can stack fearsome stares, darkest night and alternate tar patch. Rad will be safer early on as stacked RI's will pretty much floor to hit but dark will be better at holding things in the rain as tar patch is pretty awesome.

I'd avoid the Dark Armor brute. It just seems like a bad idea for furycrafting.

Fire/Rad corrs would be good. The Fire/Sonic duo sounds interesting as well. I don't know if capped-at-75% resist is enough to keep you alive, but it'd be fun finding out.

Fire/Rad Corr x2 or Fire/Dark Corr and a DM/Fire Brute.

I would really suggest Dual Corruptors, because they multiply each others force, where any other combo just adds on each other.

i think i'm going to talk my GF into the fire/fire dom fire/fire brute combo.

two fire/dark corrs is too easy why not go one fire/dark and one fire/kin :P two FSed RoF on tar patch is gotta be worth something and transference will keep the ball rolling......perhaps its a little over kill

my mistake :S

Seconding the Fire/Dark Corrs here. Those are crazy powerful... you could also do Sonic/Dark but you'd lose out on the AoE damage output a bit.

I'd also go for the Dark/Fire Brute and Fire/Dark Corruptor combo. Dark Melee is single target DPS king while Firey Ranged thingy (whatever its actual name is) brings loads of AoE to the table. Also both are hella fun.

I pesonally would avoid dual Brutes. Racing for Fury is a pain.
