On a corruptor, I'd go with the same plan - except I'd probably use a temp jetpack to fly slightly over their head (the controller can AoE immobilize stuff forcing them to be at range, I assume more mobs would get to melee and be a threat on a corruptor). Another option would be to go Leviathan for the AoE immobilize, I suppose - it animates slowly, but the lion's share of the damage is done by the reactive procs from your rains and you're bound to have downtime with the only two fast recharging AoEs you have being fire ball and fire breath. The corruptor only gets to about 50% S/L res, so it might be needed to either use both green and orange insps, or get the Rebirth +regen destiny and some orange insps.

The above paragraph being, of course, complete theorycraft. I don't have a fire/cold corruptor.

... Yet.
Wow that's interesting....Anyone have a video of something like this in action? I'm trying to imagine that reactive fire proc in multiple rain powers, and it seems like it would be amazing.

Well, I like where your head's at, Nihilii!

Probably won't undergo that drastic a respec, but may play around on +0/x8 S/L ambush farms to see how they go, or possibly a Battle Maiden farm or somesuch.

I posted some numbers in "very best farmer" as it's the officially unofficial on again off again farming stats thread, at least myself and a few others would like it to be. Similar to pylon thread in scrappers.

It might as well (aka should) be; we should also get one of those "The Build Thread" threads going, but that's another story altogether.
