Why not just make a corruptor?

Strangely enough you can actually do BOTH.. You can make a theme based build that is also highly effective.. Imagine that..

I made the shield electric looking.. Took Ninja Run as a power.. This changes the position of the shield to be in front of you when moving so you are running BEHIND the shield.. Looks much better than the standard run. Nothing beats the AoE of Shield Charge, Lightning Rod, Thunderstrike combo for AoE on a Stalker, especially since SC and LR dont break hide.

Here is what I used to determine what proc im going to put in which power. I dont know exactly how accurate it is, but so far it seems to be pretty close. https://proc-calc.weebly.com/

HA interestingly enough the TWO characters that I have that DON'T have hasten. Willpower/SS Tank and SR/Street Brute..

This made me do a count of all my characters and LoTG's Global recharge IOs in builds 0-2 1-4 2-6 3-14 4-8 5-19 So basically its like Franks Red Hot.. I put that #&#%@ on everything LOL

Again see builds is not an inidcation of what is good or isnt good. You see a lot of Inv/SS because its a classically icon hero thing. Just think of the sheer amount of characters that fly, are hard to damage and have super strength . Dark Melee has synergy with Inv because Inv is a defense based set and since the main secondary effect of Dark is -to hit, it has good synergy with Defense based sets. EM works perfectly fine. I had good single target damage and decent AoE. Once again just because you dont see A LOT of builds, that doesnt mean the powerset isnt good.

Just because you dont see a bunch of builds for something doesnt mean that it isnt good. Many people play multiple different builds. I myself have probably 8-10 different tank builds that I play across accounts/servers and thats just the tanks. Inv/Em has been around since 'live" 20 years ago, and because its not one of the " newer " powersets it might not get as much coverage as new stuff like Bio, Rad and things that are being built specifically for farming. I always say this... LEARN TO MAKE YOUR OWN BUILDS.. Then you dont need to rely on other people's builds. You will discover what works for you and whats fun for you, and you might find something that isnt super popular but is very fun. And yes I have an Inv/Em

Build your character however you want. Ive used 5 LOTG many times depending on the character. Obviously for some build especially those built with long recharge powers, the more recharge you have the better. But not every character needs that. It often depends on build and what you are trying to accomplish. Unfortunately a lot of people dont learn HOW to build their own characters. They just copy what others do.

Ive been saying for YEARS there needs to be Water Assault for Dominators. I think Dominators are pretty much the forgotten class in this game. Still waiting for Wind Control too.

One of my old SG mates taught me years ago the value of synergy, stringing powers together that compliment one another. I also failed to mention my Storm Blast/Energy Aura Sentinel that uses the Mu power pool of Electrifying Fences to keep groups nice and clumped together for Storm Cell, Category 5 nuke combo and , Jet Stream and Static Discharge, and Chain Lightning for AoE.

This is the build I am currently running for a DP/SR Sentinel. Works pretty good for me. Softcapped well for most things,

Here is my build as it stands currently on Live. With Hasten Hoarfrost is Perma, so having a massice HP boost and Heal up whenever needed in combination with Hibernate really aids survivability. Ignore where the Travel Powers are placed.. pretty sure I changed that just didnt update the build. Hope this helps.

I keep getting this [[Template forums/front/topics/topic is throwing an error. This theme may be out of date. Run the support tool in the AdminCP to restore the default theme.]]
