Greetings,

I've been starting up a DP/Traps corr, which I consider quite nice! The build is kinda tight, which is the reason to my asking, but first, take a look at my ideal build:

Now, my thought is lvl 16. There, as you can see, I have chosen FFG, as I thought it was a very important power to have early on, but I have begun to doubt whether I'll want FFG or TB, as healing is an important ability as well as defense, indeed for a corruptor. I'm currently at lvl 15, which can speak to some of the choices I've made later in the build. But my question: What should I take at lvl 16? FFG or TB?

Thanks in advance!

FFG will do a lot more for you than TB. On top of defense (which, by itself, is enough to be better than TB in my opinion), it's also status protection. I think you should pick it first.

FFG, without question

If you've got defense covering you you don't need that much Regeneration. Especially on a Corruptor, where Regen isn't that useful really.

Triage is slow to recharge and static. It's useful for big battle, but FFG is perma and useful everywhere.

I see, thanks Btw, since I've got your attention, what ya think of the rest of the build? I wanted the most of both sets, as I didn't plan on any patrons, since I'm gonna go rogue and is unaware of what will happen with those power pools.

FFG no ifs ands or buts.

TB is a decent power because it layers mitigation, but the mitigation that FFG provides is much more significant.

TB is very noticeable once your defense is approaching soft cap. It lets you tackle situations that are clearly more challenging than just the defense alone would allow. Prior to that though I never took much notice of it tbh. ymmv.
