Dark Blast/Dark Miasma Corruptor advice

Prism Almidu · 02-28-2012 02:17 PM

This is the build I've been using for some time now, and I was wondering if there was any improvements I could make on it. A couple people have said I can't really do too much more with it, and while I trust them I don't see that more opinions could possibly hurt. Oh, and since Mids' doesn't have ATO data yet, consider that Gloom has a full set of Superior Malice of the Corruptor in it.

Being new to the forums, please tell me if I'm messing up somewhere in the post.

I wouldn't take Torrent.

I wouldn't take Assault on this build just to save on endurance.

Dark Miasma is too powerful so you really can't go wrong no matter how you slot it :P

I changed a few things...I'm still not happy with it.

Yeah, I'm not often in trouble in PvE, no matter how low I'm exemplared. I do enjoy these powers. Your changes boost my global recharge by twice what I had, which is nice for stacking the -To Hit and -Regen from the main attacks and the dark heals. I'll go ahead and throw these enhances into a second build and play around with it. That HO you made me think about others for the build I made, I'll have to see what I can find. Thanks for the help!

This build has been working out great for me.

Replaced Night Fall's slotting with ATOs though.

Tons of ideas, indeed. The thing I'm not getting though is the need for Dark Pit. With Tar Patch, Fearsome Stare, Tenebrous Tentacles, and Howling Twilight, I can control most crowds already. Does it do anything in particular that I don't already?

Charnage · 02-29-2012 09:30 AM

This is just my take on things. If you feel better with other power choices that is totally cool. For me, I like the good numbers to most things. And I tend to use Howling Twilight as a weapon as often as I can. Maybe I am silly that way.

I like the defenses on yours Charnage, but my preferred travel power is Fly. My outfits always have wings, and why have them if you don't use them? :P

Dark Pit + Howling Twilight = Mag 4 stun.

Also a convenient place to pick up a set of purple bonuses.

Well..switch out superspeed for fly, and combat jumping for hover. no real loss.

Just, I like superspeed paired with shadowfall for the good stealth. But you can find ways to get that. So no big deal. Have fun with whatever you pick to do!

Nevermind. Better yet. Take out Superspeed, combat jumping and Super Jump. Replace with Flight, Hover and Afterburner. Put the Stealth io in Afterburner. And you are done..woot...i am a SUPER GENIUS!

Hmm... I'll have to play with these many useful ideas. Maybe drop Torrent and Hasten for Dark Pit and Dark Servant. I only use Torrent for street sweeping anyway. :P I'm reluctant to leave Soul Mastery, considering my concepts, but I'll take a look at the animation for Scorpion Shield, maybe it'll fit better. A shame I can't remove boxing and still get the useful Fighting powers, but I'll start messing around with these things.
