Making a rad/dark corruptor.


DreadShinobi

 

Posted

Hey, starting a new character today and I would like some levelling up advice, I have no experience with either rad/ or /dark so I would like some pointers on which powers are "must-have" at a lower level, or anything that will make my experience as smooth as possible.
This will not be running an i19 build, so fitness will have to be fit in before 20.
Thank you in advance.

EDIT: Will mostly be a soloing character

For Dark, you want Twilight Grasp (no choice, but you want this slotted), Tar Patch, Darkest Night and Fearsome State (so good you may put off getting stam for it if you think you can manage without it).

Max out TP's recharge and DN and FS's -tohit. DN does take a while to cast, so you may find yourself resorting to only using FS as your main damage mitigation, especially on fast moving teams. Howling Twilight is not only a rez, but an auto-hit debuff and mez, so it's something to consider picking up even if you almost exclusively solo.

Nothing much to say about Rad Blast: if you have played a blasting set before then there should be no surprises here. Once you are swimming in slots you can trick out your blasts with lots of procs however.

Which is better x-ray beam or Neutrino Bolt?

neutrino bolt, though low on dmg, has a super fast recharge. I would take it over xray beam. Beam does more dmg but has slower recharge. Not sure about the dps comparison. Howling Twilight is an absolute must on a dark miasma toon. It is an aoe stun power with the added ability to rez nearby dead teammates. take it as a stun and use it as a stun. decent recharge. dark miasma is a great soft control set. Fear, hold, stun, a debuffing/healing pet. can't go wrong.

The magic behind Neutrino Bolt is its ability to be procced out. Apoc proc, Lady Gray Proc, and Shield Breaker Proc, and possibly a Glad Jav proc, along with 2 acc/dmg hamis and you're looking at 75 damage per second easily. That's about 2.5x more dps compared to what an unprocced X-ray beam eyes can put out when maxed for damage and recharge.

Howling Twilight is also a strong regen debuff.
