No need to post in both sections. I will have to get my TA/DP Massachussetts upto the same mission as my DP/TA China to see how both do but have a feeling that the one who does the mission first will have the greater disadvantage.
They have the same powers pretty much and similar slotting. I have a feeling that the net result will be the same. The defender should be better in a team environment I think, vigilance might make up for their naturally low DPE and when solo defenders do more damage now. The Corrupter should at times be able to skip an otherwise needed debuff at times, they don't have vigilance but have scourge that increases their dpe so the net effect is that they may be very similar.
Edit: Another thing is that whichever one I play second will be the one with more drink in me skewering the results some.
He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.
I played both tonight. Similar results. Toss a coin or look at whether or not you want to be slightly more defensive or slightly more offensive. As its DP I thought the corrupter felt better.

I have a level 27 TA/DP defender right now, and I'm debating whether to reroll him as a DP/TA Corruptor (and make him a Hero once GR hits). Never having played redside seriously, I can't evaluate for myself whether it's worth it to switch ATs for the damage boost.
Will I notice a decrease in my debuff effectiveness?
Will I notice a marked increase in damage?
Is there ANY difference in survivability?
Will I acquire endurance problems suddenly which, as a defender, I can kinda ignore?
Thanks for any help and advice you guys can give me.
