I'm not sure how you're going to do any damage, almost none of your powers are slotted except RoF and Fireball, which doesn't leave you with much of an attack chain.
Make a man a fire and keep him warm for the day, SET a man on fire and keep him warm for the rest of his life.

yeah im aware of that hence why i need some ideas as to improve it at the same time keep defenses high and an overall set.
Sorry, not trying to be snippy. I was hoping to edit my post and leave some actual advice before you got back to it, but I had difficulty finding my build.
Below is my build for my fire/dark corruptor who is one of my favorite characters. He has softcapped defense to S/L, near perma hasten, and plenty of fire power for both AoE and ST.
Feel free to ask any questions you want about the build, and I know that there are probably plenty that are better out there.

i appreciate the swift reply to be honest you raised the perfect point that i needed a decent attack chain and i lacked it lol
im just going to have a look at your build and needless to say it will obviously be better than mine as i have a tendency to create rubbish builds lol
thanks for the build and advice
question: is vengeance a set mule 4 the lotg rech?
Edit: will this build be good for soloing av's and gm's and missions?
Quote:
Yep, and because I want/need another power that doesn't require any more slots. I could stick the LOTG in hover instead, but I would still be left needing a power that wasn't slot hungry.

Question about your build Kinrad, why not go with the Fighting pool for Weave?
You are Fire/Dark. You will never need help, for you are a mighty being.
In all seriousness, I personally prefer combat jumping over weave. Makes for a good LotG mule, better mobility, and immobilization resistance.

Quote:
with some builds taking maneauvers is much better than taking weave, for instance maneauvers gives sleep resistence i believe and u have to take 2 other powers to get the defensive power, bit of a chore really so going with maneuavers was probably the best bet in the long run without taking out so many power slots.|

good defense too, hope this answers your question.
If your color is white, why are you playing with a Red/Black deck?
Great Wall of Prophecy, reveal to us God's will that we may blindly obey.
Free us from thought and responsibility
We shall read things off of you.
Then do them
Your words guide us.
We're dumb
If I may, let me help you to explain how the Mighty Fire/Dark works and why you don't need much defense.
Powers you really NEED to have:
Dark powers
Tarpatch
Darkest Night
Howling Twilight
Twilight Grasp (your heal)
Shadowfall
Fearsome stare
Rain of Fire
Fire Ball
Fire Breath
Fire Blast (must take)
Super Speed
Powers that are NICE to have:
Combat Jump
Dark Servant
Everything else is up to you.
How I play:
Solo set at level 10 or so to -1 x 8 after you get SO's at 22 to what level you are happy with.
1. Super speed forward with Shadowfall on - paint a boss with Darkest Night and run around a box or corner (darkest night does not suppress superspeed)
2. Drop tarpatch
3. As they enter the tar use fearsome stare
4. Howling Twilight disorients them and slows them also has the largest -recharge in the game
5. Fireball, Firebreath, Rain of Fire and everything is dead except for a boss or two and just slaughter those.
Your armor is all of the stacked -to hits you use. If you get defense over 15% - you won't get hit in all practical cases. Some really hardcore groups resist the -to hits (Nemesis).
Teaming
1. drop tar under the tank or alpha person (that could be you I take Provoke on mine)
2. Fearsome stare and then fireball. Then run to the NEXT group and darkest night them. Run back to your team - Fireball again, rain of fire and howling twilight. Everything in 2 groups is now dead and you can leapfrog like that all the time.
To tank - same as solo just don't wait around after Howling twilight go get the next group.

Howling Twilight is -50% rchg
Snow Storm and Distortion Field ties with it at -50% rchg, Lingering Radiation is -60% rchg, Neurotoxic Breath is -65% rchg, Shiver is -65% rchg, Infrigidate is -70% rchg, and the king of all recharge debuffs Heat Loss is -300% rchg. Howling Twilight is hardly the largest -recharge in the game.
Also there's no reason you can't have all 3 (CJ, Weave, and Maneuvers), 100% of my toons have all 3. And while dark's tohit debuffs are very powerful, it is a much better idea to rely on defense over tohit debuffs, as tohit debuffs are inconsistent and defense is always constant. Get to or close (such as 32.5% with a purple for softcap, or 40% with barrier) to the defense softcap then use your tohit debuffs to do things like mitigate defense debuffs or effectively reach the incarnate softcap (59%). This also means you aren't limited to having to spend time using darks long activating abilities all the time for survivability giving you more time for fire blasting
thanks for the replies guys, sounds like good advice, on a fire toon i always take blaze its a high damage ST attack and part of my ST chain.
fire breath is questionable, tho as ive never thought about using it.
all in all sounds like pretty solid advice, but as a side note i always build up on defense, as DreadShinobi has explained that relying on -tohit is literally hit and miss while defense is consitent and permenant.
however with that being said i plan to get to 32 % defense on most dam types and pop a purp if needed.
nice work guys!
I decided to go with fire/dark for my namesake, from the build i made he seems pretty solid, ill be using him mostly to solo, his defenses seem ok, but im not sure if its powerful enough to solo a gm and AV.
of course darkest night helps with all that so just need someone to go over my build and give me any tips or advice to make this build a monster
