Talance

I freed up Covert and Desolace today when I moved them to Excelsior (sadly, the names were taken there).

Definitely appreciate the feedback! I put this in mainly for the recharge, but I can get the same out of Positron's. That's a point well-taken and I certainly don't want to depower Geyser. I debated this when building. I'd understood that Gaussian's proc works better in Tactics as an always-on, but I can certainly swap them and just give Tactics an end discount. I'll also try to work it earlier in the build. I felt like it was between Dehydrate and Moisture Absorption, and since the build already has Hoarfrost as a self-heal and Moisture Absorption can not only help with endurance but can also mule a LotG, I decided to go with that. I like Dehydrate on a corrupter or blaster but it felt a bit unneeded in this build. I mainly took it out because of the fleeing thing. I didn't realize it had so much effect on the Opportunity bar. I'll work it in. Fair enough. More recharge is better and you're right, I'm not hitting it while muling a LotG in there. I'll find another spot for the unique if I can. I mainly muled it for the extra s/l def that Kinetic Combat can bring and wasn't really thinking of it being part of the main rotation. Maybe it would be better to just get out of the ancillary pool altogether here, pick up Whirlpool and Steam Spray? I originally had it in Water Burst but swapped them back around. I stayed away from putting it in Geyser due to long recharge time, didn't figure it'd make the PPM. Considering #8, though, I'll work it into Geyser. I like the thought. Getting Water Burst as a hard-hitter with a bunch of procs would help damage-wise. I'm only seeing three that fit in, though: Positron's, Impeded Swiftness, and Explosive Strike. I'll put them in. I definitely appreciate it! I'd rather work with as good of a build as I can get.

I was thinking about this and said, "ooh, a thread, maybe there's some ideas in here!" - but just requests. 🙂 So I got to it and made one that I think is reasonable. A few notes: 1.) This is a no-purple build for initial tryout (well, except for the Coralax, I couldn't resist). Despite that, it's got S/L def right under cap, 85% recharge and good endurance - overall I'm pretty happy with it. I have no doubt you'd easily be able to cap S/L and do a lot for the resists with superior/purples. 2.) I like having real travel powers, so Fly is in there - it sort of fits the concept I have for the character, though you could easily make it Super Jump. You could take it out and add Assault or push for perma-Hasten if that's your thing. 3.) After reading some of the earlier comments, the main reason I went Leviathan was to swap Steam Spray for Arctic Breath. Not the same damage-wise, but the knockdown/-spd/-rch/-def with the Achilles Heel can really set up for AoE goodness. I've love to hear feedback on that in particular.

I've got a rad/therm corruptor that I'm looking for a build for also. I initially built one to see if I could def cap, but honestly, my build couldn't even get close (building no purple) and I really don't know if it's what I should be shooting for anyways. It sounds like recharge is king here? I think? I've tried to get opinions from the help channel but haven't gotten anything definitive. I'm also debating whether taking the power mastery epic pool is worth it. Endurance can sometimes be an issue and conserve power seems nice - and force of nature can get you a long ways towards resist cap - but again, I'm not sure if there's better things to take.

I was sort of messing with a build of this and found this post. I love the Hole lyrics, feels grungy as Dark Melee should! :) I definitely used it as an inspiration here. I like the idea because the -to-hit is always nice, has some decent AoEs, and between the recovery and the occasional heal, you should be damn near impossible to kill. I went with the "no purple" rule and I've got it extremely close to res cap for smash/lethal (89.9%) along with taking a good step towards def cap. It's a little needy on end, but you could just do a dark conversion if it gets low, right? Let me know what you think.
