You can definitely make it work. If you love the toon, stick with it.
Personally, that's not a combo that I would ever use as the KBs would drive me crazy. I can't see you "knocking enemies into the debuffs", but I sure can see you knocking them out of the debuffs.
In the end, play it if you love it. Just know that your combo is not a FotM, nor is it OP'd. It's certainly not the best combo, and you'll never be tearing through mobs like a Fire/Dark. If you're OK with that, then by all means keep going.

Alpha pretty much hit it on the head. TA has several patch based debuffs and unless you have a convenient wall you are risking knocking enemies out of them with the kb. In the case of glue arrow this doesn't really matter since the debuff lingers after leaving the patch but for oil slick and disruption arrows it does make them less effective.
One solution is to take hover and fly above so that you deal knockdown instead of knockback.
Yeah, that's pretty much what I figured. I *want* this to work, but I tend to lose interest in Corrs as it is, and levelling up to 35 only to find OSA's got negative synergy with my entire primary would aggravate me greatly.
Thanks for the advice. Back to the drawing board... I'm thinking maybe Rad instead of En, but for this character I much prefer En's sharp graphics to Rad's vague fuzz of death.

I have an energy/kin with repel and whirlwind and softcapped to ranged. His name? The Chaotic Kinetic.
Lots of fun... for me!

It's mostly a thematic thing. He's a guy who's more-or-less managed to become his favorite RPG/MMO character, a level 90 Arcanist/Bowman/Bard (his name: Multiclass), and while the 'classes' he's got are malleable, I've just yet to find a combination that would fit the theme as well. I could possibly go Arch/something or En/Traps, but they just don't feel quite right. Plus I really like TA.

I assume they will recognize futile just as accurately.

I've never tried it but it seems that Sonic/TA would be a decent combo. You could Sleep the group, set up your Poison and Glue, then open safely with Oil Slick. I should say I'm not a huge fan of TA as a whole though (Traps is IMO a much better set).

Actually, that would work pretty good. Half of Sonic's damage is energy damage, so it would light your oil slick as well.

Id say it has alot of promise, however its going to take alot of practice on your half to make it work every single time.
Your in for alot of visual thinking with this build.However Energy Blasts is a great tool for higher survivability when I use it on my En/MM Blaster.2 AoE KBs allow me to slap a mob backwards and hit them with AoEs before they get up, and slap them back again to do it again and kill them.
Lets not forget Drain Psyche is easier to use when the mobs on its butt.
It would be a little bit more difficult to accomplish this on a Corruptor due to the lack of AoE damage.Debuffs are 1 thing, but killing the mob is another.
Id honestly recomend going with a diffrent Energy Blasts Corruptor.
One build comes to mind that would work well with it is Pain Domination.
Use a Energy Torrent to throw the mob back, then run in and nail them with your Scream dropping there resistance to damage and hit them with Energy Exsplosion.Heal when needed, was, rinse, repeat.
There more combonations im sure, but thats just one off the top of my head.
