Hey, this is my first attempt to build a Corr. I went for defense and damage mostly. I'd like to be able to do SF's and a little pvp, but not much pvp cause I suck like a Hoover vacuum at it. Any help would be appreciated. BTW, I know i didn't take the team shields, nothing against them, just had other stuff I wanted.

Haven't looked at the build, but I think you should mix and match in Life drain to get high damage, heal, and enough acc to hit things. end and rech to taste. If you can afford a full set of numi's in it you can probably afford HO's in it.

I think you should dual build it.

Lol the build as posted has 3 acc/dam HOs and 3 end red/heal HOs. I know you said you didnt look...just thought i'd tell ya.

Was going off the post that followed the build post that said.

"and 6 slotted Numinas in Life Drain." It sounded like an amendment to the posted build and one you believed to be an improvment, hence the update.

If that isn't part of your build then I'm lost as to why you posted it. If you previously had HO's in the power and took it upon yourself to switch it to numi's you should reverse that decision.

Ok, looked at the linked build. It is fine for pve I guess. It won't get you very far in pvp though with that spec.

As suggested you'll pretty much need to dual build this toon to be effective in both environments.

Some things regarding the current build for pve:
Looks like the build is being pulled in a lot of different directions

I'd do something more like this myself if you are going for all round performance/protection, but ymmv.

As for a pvp build you are going to want in excess of 40pts of kb protection and some for of perception+phase (ie phase+focus acc or tactics+hibernate)

Hey Cardosi...I was wondering why you chose Dark/Cold? Is this your first Corr?


 

Posted

no, I have a 50 fire/kin. I just wanted something different. I also started a fire/dark....just for kicks

The fire/dark was so much fun to level that I made an ice/dark. I have a dark/cold that is level 47. It's taken me a long time to get her there because I don't like her that much. That's why I was wondering why you picked that combo...thought you knew something I didn't know.

Dark/Cold is a combo I've often thought about making myself, because /Cold is fantastic but lacking a self-heal and -tohit goes great with +defense. Dark Blast being very DoT-y works well with Scourge.

What's kept me personally from going through with it is that Dark Blasts damage is piss-poor. Like, seriously awful. Life Drain getting the Siphon Life treatment would go very far, imo.

Having 2 cones seems great except Nightfall and TT have significantly different ranges and widths, so last time I played a Dark Blast character I felt I was constantly hopping back and forth and expending a lot of effort to leverage what was, at best, very mediocre AoE damage.

It's still a good combo, I could just never get into it, especially given I've already got a /Cold Corr.

I agree with everything you said about Dark/Cold. Dark Blast does not have enough damage for my taste but I took it because I felt I needed a self-heal since, as you said, /Cold does not have one. I used two slots in TT to bring the range a little closer to Nightfall. Although this is the least favorite of my corrs, it is fun to play when paired with a Brute.

Which primary is on your /Cold Corr?
