Tar Patch is the same for defenders and corruptors. That plus how beautifully RoF leverages scourge, and it's Fire/Dark by a mile, imo.

This. Tar Patch having the same -res values and RoF doing double Scourge damage makes the Corruptor a clear winner in this pairing IMO. |

Defenders will still have higher debuff values on most of the other powers but Dark Miasma is so potent the Corr values are more than sufficient.

It's nice defenders got /fire, but Fire Blast simply comes across as a much better set on corrs.
One thing to note is that unlike Ice Storm which keeps it's Blaster Level damage on Defenders, they appear to be getting a modified version of Rain of Fire, which deals less damage.

That sounds pretty unanimous. I guess I'll have a brand new Fire/Dark corrupter in AP once I21 hits (as I dont feel like getting to 20 before being able to do the blue side content).
Now that I21 is bringing along Fire Blast to Defenders, I'm torn between a Dark/Fire Defender or a Fire/Dark Corrupter. Can anyone give arguments why one is better than the other.
I know about Scourge, and its a nice feature, especially with Rain of Fire, but what else?
