Returning player /Time questions

I am a returning player that has been gone for 2+ years. /Time looks interesting and I wanted to give it a try. Perusing the forums I noticed a few builds and started having questions.

Fire/Time-Corruptor or Controller? What are the benefits of each? (I have never played red-side ATs and with them available on blue now it is an intriguing idea to play one.) I like fire most and enjoy doing massive damage if possible. I do have fire/kins and fire/fire/fire blasters which I seem to return to most often.

Equally, are there more effective /Time combinations?

I do a lot of playing alone and tend to enjoy a farm for purples & salvage but am happy to do missions as well. Basically, I would love to hear some thoughts on the /Time and to take a look at any builds anyone would like to share.

Thanks in advance to anyone who wishes to lend a hand!

Compared to a fire/kin, a fire/time controller will definitely have less damage, but it will be much safer to play. Time has been called the Willpower of buff/debuff sets, because it doesn't focus on one specific thing (like kin with damage), but rather does a bit of everything.

I'd suggest the fire/time corr. I have a lowbie one, and it already looks promising. Can't say whether it will be quite as great as the common staples such as fire/dark or fire/traps, but it probably will. Time keeps you alive, while rain of fire scourges everything to death.

Between the controller and corr, I'd pick the corr. It may seem like it's basically just a reverse defender, but scourge really puts it on a totally different level damage wise. If you've never played a corr, you should really try it.

Thanks for your input Supermax!
