Appreciate this Force! Will let you know once I have mine built out 😂

Dark seems like it might be a good Jack of all trades. What are you planning on pairing with Elec?

I’m building one of these myself. I love that it’s an “in your face” Defender. At the same time, puts it in a bit more danger. Have you tried it in any of the new Hard Mode content?

Have a Time/Rad Defender I’m messing around with. Might give him a shot at it once he’s built out.

Haha what a beast. Probably great for HM content. What primary did you pair it with?

How does Time Manipulation fair in these HM content? I feel like the huge +Def it brings could be a boon for any team.

Haha true, the -tohit stacking must be great 😂 ALL DARK EVERYTHING

Thanks for this! I do hear Darkness Affinity controllers can do crazy things. /Dark on Corruptors seems like it has a super nice bag of tricks. Water/Dark seems to double down on the sturdiness of it all. Fire/Dark does seem really synergistic…. I just almost feel like, if I ever run a Fire Corruptor, it might be a Fire/Kin. I hear those things are a force of nature lol

I have a /Cold Corruptor, have been looking at /Dark on SOMETHING (perhaps a Corruptor, maybe Dom/Controller). For a Corruptor, what are some primaries you’d suggest to pair with Dark? I was looking at both Water Blast and Fire.

I’ve had a similar question. I honestly have no idea what archetype Seismic Blast shines on. I’ve heard Sentinel and Defender, but I’m not sure the reasoning.

I do love me some Corruptors. For me, the question is more so between Corruptors and Defenders. I think a team of 8 Corruptors will beat a team of 8 Defenders. In a more well rounded team doing HM content, a Defender might surpass a Corruptor. This can also largely depend on powerset though. Cold Domination or Kin? I’d probably pick a Corruptor every time. For the others, I might lean Defender for their higher values.

You have an updated version of your DM/Shield? Do you take Touch of Fear?

You took the words right out of my mouth. Thematically, seems like a great pair (outside of the synergy). Should be a fun ride!

After reading through some other threads…. I think I’m leaning Ice Armor. I haven’t done Ice Armor before, but it seems really amazing on Stalkers. The -Def stacking with KM’s -Def is just kind of ICING on top of the cake (pun intended).

True about the DDR. I guess you’d have to lean on incarnates for that. At least it seems like you can get really solid resists with Ice Armor as well. Very layered.

Hi all! Looking for suggestions on what secondary to pair with KM on a stalker. I know Shield Charge doesn’t break hide…. And burst on a Kinetic Melee Stalker is a guaranteed AOE crit from hide, correct? I feel like this could be a nice little combo for clearing mobs. Shield charge in, AOE crit with Burst, continue to roll face across keyboard until all baddies are arrested. Would love to hear some peoples thoughts on the combo. Shield is sturdy overall and I think I’d only really be lacking a heal. The other secondary I was looking at was Ice Armor. KM does -Def to foes, and Chilling Embrace also does -Def. Seems like a nice synergy, but I don’t know if that is something that would outweigh the benefits of Shield. I believe Ice Armor also gets a heal though, which is a plus. Any thoughts/suggestions would be appreciated!

You Legend! Thanks Strike.

Do you happen to have a Savage/Elec brute build?

I’m looking to run a Sav/Elec after running my Sav/Bio. How did you like yours?

I definitely agree with this assessment.

For this reason, I skipped CS on my Kin/Ice Scrapper. I know @SomeGuy has leveraged it to good success though.

This combo was my original though. Would you go Scrapper or Brute?

Honestly, all the combos you posted are great. Dark/Shield or Claws/Rad might be the way to go if you want to min/max. Concept is also important. Two of my favorite Scrappers are a Psi/Shield and a Kinetic Melee/Ice Armor, since I love their concept/background stories I came up with for them.

Brand! Mind sharing your Kin/Elec build? I'm one of the weirdos that really like Kinetic Melee and it's animations/range moves. I ran a Kin/Ice Scrapper, and I think a Kin/Elec would be pretty cool. Very Thematic.

Hear hear Xandyr! I love to hear this, and you’ve inspired me. I’m still searching my my “best”, although I’m pretty sure it’ll probably be a Scrapper or a Sentinel I am currently working on. Concept wise, I’ve also loved Peacebringers and their flexibility.
