I have read that ice is not a good melee set. I personally really like sets that give you something to manage in addition to your powers, so I would say savage even though I have not played it. If you can’t find what you’re looking for on these forums I would check reddit - I usually peruse both to see what I can find.

Would it make sense to slot 4 procs into parry? I am leveling my bs/shield and I’m currently around PvP 35. Thinking of slotting 4 procs into parry but idk if it will fire enoigh given how low the recharge is. Thoughts?

I am using the one linked in Mez's youtube video. It wouldn't open the builds he had linked though, which is weird. I will try one of these and see if it works any better. Just to note, it is opening old builds I had from 2012 no problem haha. I can open things no problem with the import text, but if there is only a download link I get that message.

When I try to download builds from forums or other sources, I get an error saying "Unable to read data - index was outside the bounds of the array." Any idea what this is caused by or how I can fix it?

Been traveling for work but will take a look at this over the weekend - that’s me for posting. A few initial questions: - why not bitter freeze ray? - why no ice storm? City of Jedi, I’m not a fan of frost breath (or fire breath for hat matter) due to the long animation. It is ok AOE for early stages, though. You don’t get your storms until much later so leveling can be a little rough at times. I have been thinking of skipping the shields all together tbh. I feel like at 50+ everyone is apexes our and they don’t do that much anyway. Just maximize your own damage and defenses/resistance.

I know someone is bound to give me some advice on this build eventually. I'll just keep posting. Here is the latest updated build that I have come up with. Give some advice!!

I am creating an ice/cold corruptor to use in PvP, but I don’t really know what to use for the PvE side. Just got to lvl20 but can respec — just been taking what I feel is right for now, but will definitely need to shift some things around.

I’m just getting back into the game. It seems there is a decent-ish pvp population on a few servers. I like playing corruptors, but last time i played my build was useless due to all the different rule changes. What is it like now? Does flares still hit harder than most of the other fire attacks due to the long animation? Is ice viable? I am wanting to recreate my old ice/cold corruptor but I don’t know if it is worth it. For reference, the last time I played pvp had weird movement, where your movement was basically stopped as soon as you started attacking. Attacks had their damage scaled based on animation length, so a powerful attack in PvE was useless in PvP and vice versa (the flares comment earlier). Anyway, I am just looking for a little guidance on what is viable and what the “rule” set is in PvP these days.
