Fire/Dark what set bonuses should I aim for?

I just rolled up my first corruptor, who ended up being a fire/dark so far it has been extremely badass I must say. But my question is which sets should you aim for on a fire/dark?

Is it worth it to try soft capping s/l or ranged or better to just go full out recharge/recov/max HP?


EDIT: As an added note are most procs worth slotting in RoF?

Either one is a pretty solid choice. You can also get a moderate amount of s/l or ranged defense (32%) and go with Dark Mastery to still get all the tricks in there. A small purple or most of your tohit debuffs will effectively softcap you.

Definitely get decent recharge and recovery though.

I'd likely take something like this Dark Miasma/Sonic Blast and modify it for Fire Blast/Dark Miasma. Solid Defenses across the board, with Good S/L/E Resistance, and Endurance Managment Powers. Cardiac might make endurance management more of a moot point, at which point you could go for SLE capped defense via Scorpion Shield instead of resistance. I prefer the more balanced approach, letting the Dark Powers enhance defense and resist via -tohit and -damage. Fully debuffed targets would be facing the equivalent of 90 defense and Max SLE resist with moderate other resists.

Here's a real quick build I rolled up for her (Also my first corr build since like ever!), I set it for the spiritual alpha slot for now, more heal and recharge seems like a good idea. If endurance consumption is too high though I'll switch into cardiac.

This is just with S/L soft capped, also I only have a moderate amount of inf flying around so I can't afford most of the higher end purples.

EDIT: Thanks for the help guys it is very appreciated , I think I'll try out a more balanced build next. Mainly due to some of the more delicious powers other masteries hold like the dark mastery self rez/soul drain.

This is what I run currently. Lots of expensive toys but none are required to get the build working. The 2 Siphon Insight sets and the Steadfast Protection +3 def IO are all that you need to get to the S/L softcap (Assuming well slotted defense powers). End is only a problem if you spam your attack chain. Throwing in some debuffs is usually enough to keep the end bar up. The power order is a bit off though, Hasten and Super Speed should be taken at 6 and 14.

For your Alpha I would really suggest Musculature Radial Paragon. It covers more of what a Fire/Dark does all the time.

Also watch the set bonuses. You have 9 +9% accuracy IO bonuses. Only 5 of them are actually doing anything for you.
