Poison for Corrs


JayboH

 

Posted

So we are FINALLY getting the poison secondary and with this new addition, the power has been reworked to have some AoE/Splashback feature.

The only questions is...what will I roll first:

--Dark Blast/Poison
--Fire Blast/Poison
--Psychic Blast/Poison

Any projected suggestions?

I think I might do a sonic/poison to go after hard targets.

It depends...If the set is changed in the way I think it will be...it will come out being VERY versatile. Since NG er should I say VG is a PBaoe I personally would like something up close and well...personal, so maybe Rad/Poison, Dp/Poison and Elec/Posion.

Sadly I never Took Poison Trap so I know little about it. I do remember hearing that it didn't set off as easy as the /Traps version so I don't know if it's going to be dependable. I think the best mitigation in this set is NB. I grew to love that power and thanks to that power alone one could even make cone/long range toons. The brief hold at the beginning is awesome and the -recharge/-slow makes it a must have. The cone would make a Dark/, Sonic/ and AR work.

Archery, Ice and fire would be weird due to the play style of the sets but it's doable. I would set up a poison trap around the corner and then aggro the mob from around the corner with RoA, RoF or Ice Storm. Once they hit the trap I would hit them with Neurotoxic Breath for good measure (throw in the pace proc), then hit them with evenom and weaken because I'm paranoid and I want to "-res" the group with the "splash" debuff...after all that Go to town!

I think with the new changes it will play like a hybrid TA/Traps/Rad. This toon will be one of my mains and I love this set even more than I love Cold. As you guys can tell I can't flippin' wait!

Also Dark Mastery and Soul Mastery will be PERFECT for this set.

Think it will be a Son/Poison and a Fire/Time for me.

Out of your 3 for min/maxing I'm going to have to say Fire. Then Psi then Dark.

Great choices! I'm not a huge fan of Dark Blast BUT I do remember making a Dark/Rad and I thought to myself...*it's missing something* I think Poison would be a good replacement. I'm weird about Psi...My blaster was a Psi/NRG and he would get owned HARD when he would encounter Psi resistant baddies.

I still don't know what to pair up with Time though...I'll wait until they release info on the set.

Thanks Negate!

I've always felt Dark was missing something (PvE-Wise) and it's probably just because it has low damage and I'm not a huge fan of TT. Much like you I am waiting to see how Time is gonna shape up, but for now you can't really go wrong with Fire and I like the assonance.

Oh and for a Psi Blast.. I can see myself making another Cold... Or maybe TA for something totally different!

Rad isn't a bad choice as everything in Poison has a to hit check, but I just wish Corruptor rad was as awesome as the Blaster version.

Fire sounds good though.

I agree with you about rad for blasters. I have a Rad/Fire Blaster and he's always killing things with his "just plain ol' silly" amount of AOE and Pbaoe (5 to be exact...not counting hot feet, burn and Blazing Aura).

That sounds delicious, provided one can survive. I have one but he's in the 30s I think.

Hang in there...lveling up is a bit painful since you can't handle to much at a time. If you have room for the auras in your build grab them it helped me a lot...especially hot feet. I'm going for recharge/defense of course. He's a monster on teams lol and tend to attract a lot of aggro lol.
