Corruptor Secondary (Kin Vs Rad)

Hello everyone,

First i would like to take a moment to thank you for reading this, and an even greater thank you if you post helpful responses. My question is this: I really would like a Corruptor

Dual Pistol Corrupt to be exact, i like the damage and i like the feel of it.
My question is, for pvp which would be better Kinetics or Radiation?

was reading on Radiation and it looks beneficial for many reasons, however kinetics have quite a bit of benefits itself, i leveled a DP/Kin to 16 and i must say i really enjoy it. It fits my roleplay pretty well. I am very inexperienced with ranged types and the only question i have for a DP/Kin build is how am i supposed to protect myself from effect changers, such as stuns/holds, my buffs are for friendlies, but how would i go about protecting myself? i love Fulcrum shift+Siphon power for a heavy dose of dps and transference seems to help with endurance, it sounds like a very solid set, only thing i don't know is how to avoid being locked down by Mez effects and such

Neither one is that great anymore, but I guess I'd go with rad. Kin is just useless in almost all situations now. At least rad can add some good -res in a team setting.

/Kin is quite fun in PvE. But in PvP, it doesnt meet expectations. Kins powers are primarily meant to help the team.

/Rad can be quite good. If slotted correctly, you can beat one of the best tanks. But since most of them are toggles, they can be knocked off (depending on the opponent). I would actually go with /Thermal if I were you. To me it's the best corr secondary. A long with /Dark

I like the idea of Thermal, but it has no real way to slow down an opponent, i have been away for quite sometime so my memories are of Trollers/Dominators/Corruptors being able to lock you down. And blasters being able to frost you to death. If i could get a better understanding or possibly a bit of a broader aspect it would be greatly appreciated.

Thermal and Pain Domination seem to give out quite a bit of fun to it.
Pain domination's Share pain+ Pain Bringer look like a very impressive combination

but again i could be very wrong, reason for my questions

If you must choose between those 2, go with Rad. Currently it has the only power ingame that does any kind of significant -max run spd with Lingering Radiation and with Mace Mastery you can slow someone to a crawl solo. Great for zone gang bangs.

But thats about it.

Therm and Pain are the best. Cold is pretty good too.

IMO Therm, Pain Dom, Cold, Dark, and TA are all better then Rad and Kin atm, probably in that order too with Therm and Pain Dom sort of tied. Really more of a play style preference of if you wanna be able to do more debuffing or more buffing.

Elec/Kins are retardedly good.
You're all wrong.

Have an off topic question, how were mez effects nerfed in pvp? i would like to get suppressive fire from dual pistols (KB/Hold) but if it has no real benefit in pvp then i wont but i would like to know how mez such as stunned and holds got nerfed. Would also like to know why - end, - speed, - damage, -regen is not worth getting in pvp now

lolz dull pistols

What do you guys think about DP+trick arrow, no heals, but the animations flow very well together. Any idea if trick arrow works well for pvp?

Alrighty, i really like the synergy between Pistols and TA animations, they almost feed off each other. My curiosity is this, is TA a "Im gonna annoy you, but not kill you" tool, or is it "Im going to annoy you while i kill you" tool

dp is bad.
if there is any synergy between it and any secondary, it consists of it being so bad that you only use your secondary.
grav/ta's, elec/ta's, sonic/ta's, and ill/ta's are all better.

also, running a TA corr without aim in the primary is just dumb. there are two reasons for running a TA corr instead of a TA troller; secondary effects in the primary which aid in disruption and spirit shark jaws. if you're gonna shrak, you want aim to boost up the damage and secure a hit.

There really is no easy way to say how ****** DP is for PvP... its like AR... if you wanna play it... who cares, play it.

I was curious actually if Chem Ammo's -Damage debuffs might synergize with other -Damage debuffs from a secondary to make some noticable impact on Aim/BU and other high powered attack chains. I'm not really sure of the numbers though.

No, I don't see DP as a viable awesome set. It's just that so far, this is the only primary set I can think of capable of debuffing damage with most attacks. (with Chem ammo slected) For a /TA, who's primary purpose may not be to get kills but disrupt, this specialty could in fact stack with something like Posion Gas Arrow to turn someone's 10 secs of spike damage into poo.

Just asking really. Leave the hate at home guys.
