What's YOUR favorite Archer?

Well, let me explain my background a bit. When I tried TA/Archery on my Defender, I gave up at SO levels as he could not drop foes very fast, nor was I all that impressed with his debuffs at that point. I knew that the TA part of things would get better, but not the damage.

Hence my wondering about the setup for a Corrupter. I really would like an Archery/TA character, but Defenders just don't mesh with me well (I like Tanks, so I don't have to do uber damage... but I do want to do a decent amount of damage to solo with if needed). But perhaps Scourge does not make that much of a difference?

I could maybe try an Archery/Traps Corrupter (I have an Arch/Devices Blaster that I find fun), but I dunno. Yeah, I could try rolling both, but I like to avoid re-rolling if I can avoid it. I also have limited slot spaces on the servers I like to play on.

I made it to SO levels with him and gave up. So low 20s. I knew things would get better with oil slick and all that, but the low damage of Defenders just drives me nuts. I do have a Sonic/Sonic Defender at level 44, so I know the "damage woes" don't really go away for me. I like the Sonic character well enough, but his low damage does tend to frustrate me when I play him- I don't even bother soloing with him (and I like to be able to team and solo with all of my characters).

I'm probably going to give up on Controllers and stick with Dominators after GR, too. I like my Earth/Storm Controller, but having to team from 1-32 on my Controllers just annoys me (slowly getting a Grav/Kin to that level). So that's why I'm wondering if Corruptors will be a solution for my Defender problem. Heh.

Hmmmm, thought this was the perfect thread to ask about Corrupters and Archery/TA. Oh well. I'll probably give it at try (though I hope GR gives us more slots... I'm out of them on Victory, my home server), as my biggest problem with the set on Defenders was its lack of damage. I'm hoping that Scourge will make that feel less painful.

I want to like buff/debuff toons, it's just difficult with how some of them are set up, though.
