How viable would a sonic/storm corr be?
Quote:
There's no incredible synergy to speak of, but it would be a solid character. Sonic being fairly end-efficient helps a lot with Storm being fairly end-heavy.
I was thinking that the combination of debuffs would be pretty awesome, with PvE and maybe slight PVP in mind. It should be pretty good for combat I think.
Anyone have any suggestions? |
Suggestions: For survivability, build for softcapped (45%) smashing/lethal defense. With Scorpion Shield, a Steadfast +3% def, Weave and Steamy Mist you need very little in the way of bonuses to get you there. It'll greatly increase your survivability, which helps a lot with the aggro you can draw with /Storm.
After that, build for recharge and recovery. Get lots of end rdx in your storm powers, the Sonic blasts will generally be fine on endurance with whatever they get from a set.
I've got a guide for Storm in my sig if you want to take a look. I personally went with Ice Blast, but you may still find it useful for general Storm stuff.
For PvP...eh, I wouldn't get your hopes up. I know Stormies were pretty good disruption in Arena way back, I dunno about now. Workable, I guess? Not very good though.
I'm far from knowledgeable about PvP but I see the same suggestions for almost all PvP builds. Build for as much +hp as you can (ideally capped or close to), 41+ points of KB prot, proc out your attacks, get Phase/Hibernate, get SS and SJ.
The problem is, unless you dual-build you're either going to have a crap build in PvP or PvE, because aside from the +hp most of the stuff you really need in PvP is largely a waste in PvE and vice versa.
Hope that helps

Alright, thanks. I'll definitely look for a softcapped build.
And I think that there is definitely some synergy at least--mainly the concept of oh hey, everything is dead.
Here's a question then, should I stick with the thugs/storm MM I have at this point? Or what would be a really fun powerset to mess around with on a storm corr?
