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? 😛

Oh I absolutely agree with this. This topic was more just for a fun discussion. Someone else mentioned to me that they think Controllers would just be the best, with Containment stacking. I didn’t even think about that!

Nice! I’ve been on a Water Blast kick. I could see it functioning pretty well on a Sent. Extra mitigation from the knockdowns, plus their toughness. Meltdown from /Rad could help pump up the damage, and /Rad is pretty proc friendly.

Paging @Sovera. I believe he has a build for pretty much every Fire Armor combo on his thread.

Up there with Corruptors would be Defenders and VEATS, specifically Fortunatas. I feel like Fortunatas can do a bit of everything.

Hi all! I was having a fun chat in game the other day: If you could form a team of only ONE Archetype to take on the rest, or to run all content in the game, what archetype would you choose? Corruptors immediately jumped to mind to me. I feel they just could be the perfect combination of debuffs, buffs and damage. You can say the same for Defenders, but I guess I would just value the extra damage form scourge a bit more. Scourge is love, scourge is life. That being said, what are your thoughts? In this scenario, do you think Corruptors could be the one archetype to rule them all? What would your perfect team of Corruptors look like? And if not Corruptors, what other archetype would you pick?

BOPPER IS SAYING WATER BLAST SENTS ARE OP. Jk jk my friend 😉

Concept wise, this seems like a really cool build. Prob feel like a monster in mobs just knocking everything around haha.

Seems like that would work great at range. Really free up focusing on just blastin’ haha

I ran a water/cold and I feel that would be a great pick! Cold has wonderful debuffs for tough targets, and water brings some extra mitigation for you guys. Currently leveling a Water/Dark, and I feel that would be a great option for you as well. Best of luck!

Nice man, gonna have to take a look at these sets. Seems like it’d have some good built in mitigation as well. I think @Linea’s 801 Blaster project is actually this combo.

One I didn’t think of, great suggestion.

Hi all! I was going through some old threads, and I dug into @Galaxy Brain’s Blaster Primary Comparison charts. It seemed like, while missing out on the raw damage of a fire blaster, Water made up for it a bit with the safety it provides. As I’m looking to make a primarily solo played Blaster, this is important to me! I was curious: do any of you feel there are any secondaries that really shine with Water Blast as a primary? I was looking to play mostly a “hover” style of Blaster, but I’m open on this as well. Water/Temp or Water/Eng seem like good ranged options. Water/Atomic seems like it could be a lot of fun, but would be more of an in your face kind of style I believe. Water/Fire as well. I appreciate any suggestions!

I know with incarnates, everything is great for endgame content…. But do you feel Doms are one of the best archetypes for extremely difficult 4x8 style stuff?

Great choices my friend! I’m personally running a Time/Rad right now and it is very synergistic. As our good friend @Without_Pause said, it is a very “in your face” Defender that likes to be in melee with his tanks. I JUST started a Water Blast/Dark Corruptor who’s playstyle seems a little more suited for a “hover” style of play, if that is what you’re looking for. I could see Rad/Water or Dark/Water being pretty decent as a hover defender (or Corruptor).

True. Tar Pit+ Whirlpool seems like it could be a lot of fun. With both heals, I feel like this could be a very sturdy Corruptor combo.
