Deregulator

I have a Fire/Trick Arrow Corr around vet level 36 on Excelsior, and I absolutely love it. This combo is surprisingly potent in virtually all content I've participated in. I personally recommend taking the perma-Soul Drain route, while capping smashing/lethal res with Dark Embrace + set bonuses, Tough, and the Defense Amplifier from the P2W vendor. With 20+% defense, Flash Arrow will floor the tohit of whatever enemy you face and you can avoid chasing softcapped defenses while maintaining very solid survivability, as long as you remember to paint your targets with Flash Arrow before engaging. I went for Ageless in lieu of Clarion or any other Destiny, as I rely on the Defense Amplifier/EMP Arrow for mez protection and to push myself to the smashing/lethal res cap. Additionally, this is one of the most endurance hungry builds I've played and extra recharge never hurts. Intuition Radial is handy here as well to push your damage up a little higher while increasing the potency of most Trick Arrow secondary effects and improving range on powers. This is the setup I currently run. This Villain build was built using Mids Reborn 3.0.5.6 https://github.com/Reborn-Team/MidsReborn Click this DataLink to open the build!

I just wanted to chime in to share two build options. I'm currently utilizing the first. This one features softcapped smashing/lethal/melee defense as well as capped smashing/lethal resistance and perma Soul Drain with Ageless.
