I don’t, but I believe @Without_Pause had a Cold/Ice Defender build. I could see it being an AV killing machine.

Do you feel Water has the damage to take down AV’s/GM’s? Thinking it might with Procs and Force Feedback enhancements.

I could definitely see the Ice/Dark synergy. I’m just trying to figure out a thematic 😂😂😂 could you play this as a hover Corruptor? Do you have a build to share? I’ve been looking for a hero that could solo AV’s/GM’s, as well as be great in small groups.

This I’d love to see. How does Shock and Scoruged interact with each other?

I have a Water/Cold myself and I’m currently leveling a Water/Dark. /Dark and /Cold are amazing for bringing down tough targets. Cold I feel is more straight forward and Dark Miasma has a few more tools. I myself love Water Blast (have them colored black like Shadows). I’m reading on here that it might be lacking in damage. However, with the debuffs from the 2 sets, their -regen and -resist, and Water Blast being fairly proc friendly… I think it could muster the damage. Maybe not as easily as Ice/Fire, but it can get there. I also feel it is much safer, with it’s added heal and the mitigation it provides with KD’s. @Darkir I believe has solo’d AV’s and GM’s with his Water Corruptor.

Not the poster, but wow about Electric Blast. Did the shock changes improve it a lot?

I’m looking at /Dark Affinity to build a strong AV/GM fighter that can solo tough content. What are some primaries you’d pair with /Dark? Illusion/Dark seems like a front runner for endgame content. Dark control was one I was looking at as well, but I hear it might be lacking in the damage department for many +4 AV’s. Do you find that to be the case? Any other primaries you’d recommend parking with /Dark?

Thanks for the correction Lynx!!! Dark/Dark seems interesting, I didn’t know how it’d do against +4 AV’s or GM’s. Good to hear it fairs well!

Hi all! I’ve been on a “Dark” power kick for a bit now and have yet to roll a controller! I hear Dark Miasma really shines on a controller over other archetypes due to the extra buffs it picks up (Fade OP). Anyways, what are some primaries you would suggest pairing /Dark with? My first thoughts: Ill/Dark: Seems like a premiere AV/GM killer. Color your phantoms like shadows and you have a full theme. Dark/Dark: Seems like a natural synergy, right? Fire/Dark: Tons of pets and probably pure chaos. Any thoughts on the above combos, or any others you’d like to suggest?

Fire/EM does seem like quite the synergistic pair. Covering each other’s weaknesses a bit. So much destruction.

Currently working on the Water/Dark, and it is behaving very nicely! It’s a bit busy pairing the 2 together, but it seems to have a tool for every situation. I feel that it will be VERY strong once fully IO’d out.

I could see you actively having to TRY and face plant with that combo controller on your squad 😂

Niiiiice, I’m excited to build mine out. Just slow leveling right now to get a feel, only lv. 17. I really like the build you designed, will probably use that as a base. Exited to get it fully kitted out and see what extreme stuff it can do 😂

Nice man! I didn’t know how it’d run on a Pylon, but it’s good to see the test. I know @ScarySai and some others had some really good results with the combo on the Trapdoor tests.

Wow, impressive times man. Doubly so since it doesn't seem like you rely to heavily on procs with your build.

Haha nice! I’m actually going to color it all black and go for like a “shadow control” type of theme.

I always though about this Nemu: what Defender would be best at just keeping an 8 man team ALIVE. Maybe not the best solo Defender, but one that really shines in teams. One that stood out to me was Ice/Thermal. I just felt like it was a really well rounded combination. Elec/Elec seems like it would be right up there too. Cool thing is, I feel like Elec/Elec could work equally as well as a Hover Defender, dropping Farady Cage and zooming around, or on the ground running in with the team.

You’re doing the Lord’s work Guy.

Thanks for this info! That is where I’m at. Double stacking sleet with /Cold sounds OP, as well as having good endurance management with heat loss. /Dark seems really well rounded, and I’m sure it’s heal partnered with Water Blasts heal will make it a very sturdy Corruptor.

Hi all! I was curious if anyone had any input. I’m loving Water Blast, but I’m trying to decide if I want to IO out a Water/Cold or a Water/Dark. Both seem great. /Dark and /Cold both have a way to keep baddies stuck in Whirlpool, -regen and -resists in their kits which should make them great for dropping AV’s. /Cold seems like it is easier on endurance with Heat Loss, while /Dark brings a revive and additional heal which I’m sure makes you pretty tough when paired with Water’s heal. So I wanted to pick all of your brains! Is there something I’m missing that should sway me one way or the other? Which one do you think would function better solo or in teams?

Agreed. Currently leveling a Water/Dark Corruptor right now. Feels very safe.

"The best crowd control is death.... errrr arresting. Yeah that's what I meant." 😂

By "protecting" his teammates, Bill means "arresting" all the bad guys 😉

DP/Martial wins all the style points 😛 haha and you always inspire Sai 😛 you know, I'm looking at something that I can build to solo extremely tough content. Thinking maybe a Water/Dark Corruptor or an Ill/Dark Controller. I've never run a controller, so I'm thinking of different combos there.

Whats your favorite 4x8 solo character Sai? One you really go "Plus Ultra" on? 😛
