Lazy Super Team

Just checking interest in creating an new super team composed of all dp/sonic corruptors or a mix of corruptors and defenders (sonic/dp).

Why is this 'lazy'? Well having all dp/sonic means capped res and close to cap def (maneuvers). With assault you got lots of damage as well, not to mention all the -res from dispersion field. No need for casting shields or anything, just point and click damage after sonic dispersion and dispersion field setup.

Why dp? Good mix of cone, targetted AOE, PBAOE, and good effects like -dam.

Cool idea, but I'd suggest a different primary if you're open to it. With all the res from the shields you won't have much benefit from the -dam so what you really want is more damage. While you could have everyone using incendiary rounds, you'd get far more damage from Fire Blast proper.

As far as Sonic Disruption is concerned, Fireball and RoF work equally well as PBAoEs

True true. I was thinking DP because of the targetted AOEs and the PBAOE mini-nuke. Heck, archery would be fine too.

Fire would bring more dps for harder targets.

I am really open to any primary. Maybe just a /sonic super team.

In a team of 4 or more, /Pain > everything else.
4 stacks of World of Pain will give you capped resists and a nice damage and to-hit bonus.
You can Enforced Morale each other for mez protection plus a little recharge.
You can Painbringer each other for some more damage and ridiculous recovery and regen.
Soothing Aura x4 makes for some nice effortless heals or in a pvp zone, soothing aura x2 + Painbringer will cap your regen.
Anguishing Cry has the same -Resist Debuff as Disruption Field but also adds a aheft to-hit Debuff but personally I wouldn't bother with Anguishing Cry nor Disruption Field, I would choose Rad as my primary and slot everything with Achilles' Heel: Chance for Resistance Debuff to silmutaneously floor your enemey's Res and Def while attacking.

Yeah but that's too much work for a 'lazy' team.

With near capped def from maneuvers (capped with combat jumping with +def res/def unique and a few ranged set bonuses), 8X assault, capped res from sonic dispersion (no shields necessary), mez pro in dispersion as well, the only thing that's needs to be done once all setup is clicking the attack powers.

It may not be the best super team, but it should be a team that requires nothing more after the initial setup (leadership powers on, sonic dispersion, and sonic disruption). Just move en masse and attack.

Well to be fair, if you are all moving en masse to stay within each other's big bubble, there is no reason you can't stick World of pain on auto and have it hit everyone anyway. The resistance of it is actually better because it doesn't have the psi hole. The only thing you would lose would be the hold, immobilize and diorient mez protections. You would gain better resists and a whole lot more to-hit and damage and still have it hassle free and lazy. You would also gain the passive heals of Soothing Aura while still being lazy.

75% resists plus capped Defense (I assume you would top off the 8x manoeuvers with pool powers for more defense) is pretty tough but in high end game content is isn't enough to keep you alive. I have a tank capped in both defense and resists and he still faceplants during the ITF or Incarnate Trials without assistance and resist cap is obviously higher than a Corruptor's. That extra layer of mitigation offered by Soothing Aura would be enough to make your team survivable enough for such content.

Sign me up! i would like to roll a fire/sonic though. in game name is @clutch....freem is my home server but id be up for any.

Heh, so had a thought experiment with a coworker during lunch (who also plays CoX) about the 'lazy' super team.

He had recommended all rad/sonics. Here's why, in addition to the auto res, -res, and mez pro from /sonic, the rad/ adds a small PBAOE that recharges frequently. Namely Irradiate, which could be done roughly every 10s.

LOL, when f2p comes, I can start 7 clients with unpaid accounts with 7 rad/sonics. Set Irradiate to auto, turn on disruption and dispersion, assault, maneuvers, and tactics.

There's gonna be other combinations (spines/fire scraps), that would be doing similar things. I wonder how CoX will prevent multiple creation of unpaid accounts for the purpose of filling and farming.

For a super lazy team, I would go /thermal and /cold. You can cap resist and def so the heals will be hardly needed so that cuts down on the issue of being busy. Your ability to place the AoE -res powers is freed up as well since it's not anchored on a player, or players. Sonic and Fire for primaries.

Just making a /sonic team sounds fun and you could wait until Issue 21 so that mms can join in.

Heck I will join; what server?
