So I am looking for some help with two of my characters. A crab spider I want to make into a tank and a EB/Pain dom corrupter who I want to improve. Any and all critique welcome. Please tell me if I am being stupid and wrong, only way I will learn and if possible, if you could change the stuff in mid and link it back, that would be better. I'm a visual learner when it comes to this stuff. Thanks all!

My current specs for the crab is as follows. I want to soft cap her so I can do some decent tanking, but unsure how to go about his. I have, however, tried to get high recharge and defences by taking enhancement sets that gives +defence though.

This is my corrupter. I run iTrials with him mainly and he is my farming toon of sorts, so I use him to gear up other toons. My attack chain is usually open with an AoE like ball lightning or Ionic Judgement, charged bolt, lightning bolt, tesla cage or electric fence, charged bolt, either my PBAoE or my other hold/Imb, charged bolt, lightning bolt, rinse, repeat. I also try to be a good healer, using aura to keep people topped up, soothe when one person needs it and nullify when the whole group is getting a little lower than aura can deal with.

Well, to tell the truth, this is the first time I have been in this forum, and from the number of replies you have recieved, I would post these, especialy the crab build in their pertinent forums.

I hate all this terrorist business. I used to love the days when you could look at an unattended bag on a train or bus and think to yourself.... I'm going to take that.
