. Also: higher base resist numbers. I can be a bit freaky when it comes to particular number combinations I want to try.Also, I think I'll be doing something else if I do a nature corr.

I'm planning on a very similar build and I'm looking forward to trying it out. Though I went with Electrical Mastery so I could cap S/L/E resists.

Rain of fire is being fixed.... fire will still scourge (just not the broken blaster scale triple scourge that it is doing now.) Fire will remain a better set on corrs then defenders though.

Cool, was just wondering... I've got a time/fire def myself so I'm not all hung up about the numbers above all else. My NA character at the moment is the boringly obvious plant/na troller.... I may try a na/something def later depending on how it works out.

DEFENDER:
*35% e/n & 34% ranged def, ~15% def to the rest. 69% s/l res, 72% cold res, 26-31% for all the other resists.
*7s downtime on Overgrowth (160% global recharge).
*+110% bonus damage without Vigilance (140% solo). This is a 373 point blazing bolt teamed with no other buffs or 409 point solo, compared to a blaster's 409 points (with 3dmg sos). Obviously the blaster will go much higher with buffs.
*406% regen
CORRUPTOR:
*33% e/n & 32.1% ranged def, ~13% def to the rest. 53% s/l res, 57% cold, 20-25% for all the other resists
*7s downtime on Overgrowth
+94% bonus damage with a 406 point blazing bolt.
*406% regen (strange, I assumed this # should be lower, but wild growth has the same regen # for both in mids).

No Regrowth? 
EDIT: just saw the last sentence. Yeah, no way in hell I would skip Regrowth - it's a good self heal on top of being the main heal for teammates.

I didn't wind up needing it at all, did the alpha arc and patron, and tested malta and cot up to +1/4. Either I was steamrolling, or mezzed and dead, not really any in between or any time where that heal would have helped me.|

That being said, I found I didn't need tactics and dropped it for the heal... still haven't used it :P.
The build I leveled up with wound up being /psi because I hadn't unlocked patrons yet... Domination helped so much against mezzer lts and to stack with the hold aura... I really miss it. Here's my current build, which I swapped to to try and deal with the end issues I was having (yes, even with a nigh-perma ~4x% end red from overgrowth, I still ran out of end - after getting killed a few times that way, I opted to try another angle) :

------------
I found RoF not particularly useful without a slow, so I dropped that too. So far, I've found the only thing the set really lacks to "gel perfectly" to me is a slow - either on the debuff toggle OR as an added effect on the buff toggle, either would be sweet.
I'm thinking that with i24 I'm going to pick up the Leadership +recov power and switch back to a patron/epic with a hold. Dunno, we'll see if I still need that after I get to clarion.
[edit: aside from just enough trials to get me to +3, I don't team much, so if something isn't of use to me solo I generally get rid of it.]

Yeah, I was planning the same thing - grabbing the new Leadership power instead of Vengeance.

The important #s:
*35% e/n & 34% ranged def, ~15% def to the rest. 69% s/l res, 72% cold res, 26-31% for all the other resists.
*7s downtime on Overgrowth (160% global recharge).
*+110% bonus damage without Vigilance (140% solo). This is a 373 point blazing bolt teamed with no other buffs or 409 point solo, compared to a blaster's 409 points (with 3dmg sos). Obviously the blaster will go much higher with buffs.
*406% regen
I could go for defcap or higher resist or perma overgrowth but instead I went for a middle of the road type build. I'm curious to see how it will play out. I may remove tactics if it's overkill, but I'm going to take it to start until I get the whole build together to fill in the Overgrowth downtime & keep perma-snipe. Hopefully I'll be able to drop it for Regrowth or something in the final.
