My Recharge-based DP/Time Corr Build

I was playing around in mid's and came up with this recharge based build for my corruptor that i'm leveling.

The concept was to be able to use Hail of Bullets as often as possible, filling the time between with other AoEs like Bullet Rain (5.6 sec cd), Spring Attack & Soul Drain.

The base recharge in this build is 148.8% with Hasten. It is meant to be a cheap build with no purples. I want to use the character to run PvE trials and TFs, i'm not too interested in single target damage and prefer AoE.

Please point out any mistakes or any suggestions are appreciated!

No opinions atall? Just want to know if its acceptable or whether i'd be nerfing myself?

Post a data chunk, the post will not import correctly.

There's nothing wrong with recharge, but if the build is recharge at all costs, sometimes those costs are simply too high.

Immediate problem I'm seeing.

Don't slot Farsight for ToHit buff. Slot it for Defense. You won't need the extra ToHit and one of the key points of Time is that power boost+farsight can get you so much def/all.

Edit:

You're crippling yourself by going dual wield and slotting it for KB, it's already the weaker of your early blasts. You say you don't care about single target, but you're using incarnate powers, so I'm assuming you'll be running trials. You will want a decent, sustainable ST rotation for the AVs. Take Pistols instead and slot it with 5x Decimation if you can get another 6.25% or either 4x Devastation or 6x Thunderstrike if not.

4 Dark Watchers' Despair will serve you better than 5 Dampened Spirits in Time's Juncture.

Drop a slot from Hasten. The amount of recharge you're getting out of the third one with Spiritual Core Paragon is miniscule.

I would not bother slotting Temporal Selection with anything but a Recharge IO (I personally don't take it, but I'm not a big fan of single target, long recharge buffs. I have better things to manage, especially with such a busy set).

Get the last slot added to your Spring Attack for the defense bonus.

Consider a Lockdown proc in Distortion Field. Achilles can be slotted into Empty Clips or Slowed Response (or both).

Try 5x Doctored Wounds in Chronoshift for one of your 5% recharges. Then change the slotting of your Soul Drain to focus on Accuracy and Recharge.

Get some LotG 7.5s. Put them in Combat Jumping and Far Sight at least. Maneuvers would probably be a better choice than Assault too, considering Time can cap all defenses if built correctly. They're not much more expensive than the Basilisk quad and you can get them easily with minimal effort from Alignment, Reward, or Astral Merits.

Change your Stamina slotting to EndMod, PerfShifter EndMod, PerfShifter +10% Proc.

A Miracle Unique in Health would also be wise. Time is endurance heavy.

Without being able to import it, that's all I've got for you.

I24 Proc Chance = (Enhanced Recharge + Activation Time) * (Current PPM * 1.25) / 60*(1 + .75*(.15*Radius - 0.011*Radius*(360-Arc)/30))
Single Target Radius = 0. AoE Non-Cone Arc = 360.

Thanks for the detailed reply, will attach with data chunk this time!
Pretty much did everything you suggested, as well as changing Temporal Selection to Stealth, to cap defence.

Instead of adding the extra slot to spring attack for the defence, I put the slot in Maneuvers, which I swapped Assault for.

Builds looking much better, any idea how much inf it will cost for that sort of IO slotting? No clue myself.

(That, above, is what i am getting when i export the data link? Doesnt seem right...)

To export your Data Chunk:

In Mids, go to the Import/Export Menu at the top center
Click Short or Long Forum Export
At the bottom left, check either "Only Export Data Chunk" or "Export Data Chunk as well as a DataLink"

I will take a second pass at it when you've got that

I24 Proc Chance = (Enhanced Recharge + Activation Time) * (Current PPM * 1.25) / 60*(1 + .75*(.15*Radius - 0.011*Radius*(360-Arc)/30))
Single Target Radius = 0. AoE Non-Cone Arc = 360.

Okay basically, I was unaware that hero-side players on originally villain ATs (Like the corruptor) cant get Patron powers unless they go Hero > Villain. I am not a hardcore player and don't want to spend 8 days waiting for that change to happen, so I replaced the Soul Mastery set with Electricity Mastery. I am aware that Dark Mastery looks more like the Soul set with the drains, but I much prefer the look of Elec, and I feel it suites me better.

This is the revised build

Another quick question before I start suggesting anymore changes:

Are you married to any of your pool powers, especially your ancillary pool choice?

Time really benefits incredibly from Build Up or Power Build Up being in the build, for example, but you're limited to either Soul or Power Mastery for that.

I24 Proc Chance = (Enhanced Recharge + Activation Time) * (Current PPM * 1.25) / 60*(1 + .75*(.15*Radius - 0.011*Radius*(360-Arc)/30))
Single Target Radius = 0. AoE Non-Cone Arc = 360.

If the benefit of Power Build Up increases the overall damage I would get from dropping Thunder Strike, then I would be open to getting it

Oh, and to address your question of cost: You have several fairly expensive IOs in your build, but the good news is that none of them are PVP or Purple ones, which means that you can get them all fairly easily with the various Merits. If you were to buy everything crafted with straight influence, this build would cost you somewhere in the neighborhood of 1-2 billion, as a guess.

The most expencive IOs you have are:
LOTG +7.5% Recharge (100-150m)
Basilisk's Quad (75-125m)
Miracle +Recovery Unique (50-100m)
Obliterate Quad (50-100m)

These all cost 32 Astral or 2 Alignment Merits. Off the top of my head I think they're all 200 Reward Merits except for the Miracle, which I think is 240.

Alignment Merits you can crank at a rate of 1/2 per day via Morality Missions, + 1 per week via Signature Story Arcs, +1 per your first ever (per character) run of each Signature Story Arc, and you can also buy 1 per day for 20m + 50 reward merits if you want to go that route.

Astral Merits are super easy to collect in large numbers if you're doing the full incarnate grind, you'll probably generate upwards of 200 of them while collecting your salvage (if not more, I think my Ice/Storm Controller has collected over 300 by now, but I do a lot of trials with her).

If you had a mind to, you could collect all your expencive recipes via non-inf currencies and reduce the build cost significantly.

I24 Proc Chance = (Enhanced Recharge + Activation Time) * (Current PPM * 1.25) / 60*(1 + .75*(.15*Radius - 0.011*Radius*(360-Arc)/30))
Single Target Radius = 0. AoE Non-Cone Arc = 360.

I really appreciate the time you've put into helping me, but just a few more questions regarding incarnates (since they are alien to me)

-Is there any point tanking the Phantom pet, since I only took it because of the Adrenaline buff, is it still worth it? If not, what pet would you recommend?

-What alpha would you choose over the recharge one? I'd assume the +damage one.

For Lore pets, I almost always take the Core over the Support branch, because what I've found is that in practice I only ever use them when I need to kill something dead yesterday (that means, really fast).

On a Scrapper or Brute I might take a buff pet, but for a support character I don't think they're worth it. The Cimerorans are well known for their ridiculous single target DPS. Warworks and Phantoms are also quite high, and Warworks benefits from some -regen debuffing, while Phantoms can fly and have a decent AoE as well.
The Storm Elementals are great debuffers on the Radial branch and have great AoE on the Core, but neither is much good for Single Target. Vanguard is also pretty strong AoE and has several exotic damage types, but, again, lacks in ST situations.
Arachnos and Longbow are both pretty versatile and Longbow has excellent -regen.
Realistically, each of them offers some benefit over the others, but those previously mentioned seem to be the most popular. If you're curious what each Lore Pet can do, you can view their powers by right-clicking any of the Lore Powers in the tree, then clicking Detailed Info and scrolling down to the lower portion. Each pet's powers will be listed and you can expand them for full effects.

As for Alpha, I would personally probably either go Musculature or Cardiac Core for that build, depending on how you feel about your endurance consumption rate once you hit 50 and get a better idea on if you'll need Cardiac or not - the exception here is if you intend to go with Ageless Destiny, unless you're really really sucking wind, you won't need both (I don't think you'll have that problem with this build, I've only needed both on an Ice/Storm Controller and Fire/Earth Dominator, both of which are notoriously end heavy set combos).

I24 Proc Chance = (Enhanced Recharge + Activation Time) * (Current PPM * 1.25) / 60*(1 + .75*(.15*Radius - 0.011*Radius*(360-Arc)/30))
Single Target Radius = 0. AoE Non-Cone Arc = 360.
