You're awesome dude. What power in Rad Em gives -regen for the AV killing? Thought it was the t9 haha, mb. I could see Water going with it well for the mix of -def, but ice/fire may be more optimal. I'd go with your experience haha.

I could also be completely off in my analysis 😄

Is there a specific archetype you feel Water is best on?

Does the crash on Rad's EMP T9 have a huge impact? Would think it could be matched with Cold's Benumb, which has no crash. Sorry for all the questions, just trying to figure it all out haha. Analysis paralysis.

Ice/Rad seems to be the leader for AV/GM killing. Water/Dark seems like it could be fun for general content, but a little busy. Water/Cold might be easier to handle.

Hi all, So I'm recently done a few TF's with Dom's on my team... and watched them basically solo it 😂 I've decided to roll my first Dom, and want to make a true AV/GM killer. Are there any Powerset combos you'd recommend? I see a lot of /psi and Drain Psyche being top tier for this. I see things range from Mind/Psi, Fire/Psi and Dark/Psi. But are there any other power sets (including secondaries) that you would recommend? Appreciate it!

Appreciate the insight =] any specific primaries you like? You mention having an Ice, it seems like it’s a pretty solid set.

Now I want to roll an Ice/Rad and a Water/Dark 😂 just recolor the water black and green or something. I hear Scourged Blizzard is super satisfying haha. My only true AV killer rig now is an EM/EA Stalker, so it’d be nice to add another. If you happen to have a build you could share 😉 haha

Also, how would you say Thermal fairs on a Corruptor?

This is awesome, thank you! Water/Dark seems like it could be a lot of fun. I also hadn't put a lot of thought into Rad, although I know Rad/Sonic Defenders are AV killers, it makes sense it could work on a Corruptor as well. Do you feel Fire of Ice pair with it more optimally?

Hi heroes (and villians 😄)! As a primarily melee based player (I've 50'd a few tankers, brutes, stalkers and scrapper), I've decided I wanted to try my hand at my first ranged Archetype! Corruptors appeal to me because SCOURGE (it always is nice seeing it pop over enemies heads while I'm in the fray), as well them being a bit of a hybrid of a blaster/defender. I like having some options to help support the team, as well as lay down some hurt of my own 🙂 After doing some research on the forums, I've found a few primaries and secondaries that seem to work fairly "optimally" on a Corruptor. The Primaries I found were: Fire Ice Water For secondaries it looked like: Cold Domination Kin Dark I wanted to pick all your brains and see what you all felt would be a really good/strong combination for the current game and for a new Corruptor player 😄 Do any of these primaries/secondaries have a specific synergy? For example, Fire/kin is pretty famous for working well together. Any others I should note? Also, which ones do NOT work well together. I hear that Water can be a primary that requires a lot of attention, so you might want a secondary that isn't really click intensive. All this being said, I'm also very open to other options! I'd love to be educated a bit more on the world of Corruptors, and have this be an open conversation. Please let me know if I've misread about the strength of these sets on a Corruptor, or if there are any other power sets I should consider! Thanks in advance all!

You paint a good picture! You’re right, there does seem to be good synergy there. Thanks for all your help. One more question the TA for either Blaster or Defender.... do you find one to be easier than the other? One more clicky or micro intensive?

True! One is an AR/Devices Blaster and the other is a TW/Fire Brute. I could continue with the weapons theme. The 2 I had in mind (if I were to go Defender) would be either Time/DP or Trick Arrow/Archery. Since you seem pretty knowledgeable, do you have a recommendation? =]

I do primarily team with at least 2 other buddies. I guess that answers that =P

Hi all! For a while now, I wanted to make an Archery themed hero and have decided to roll one out! My last decision is to either roll an A/Tac Arrow Blaster or Trick Arrow/A Defender or Corrupter. I understand that each archetype their main strengths with the sets (Blaster = more Damage, Defender = better buffs, Corrupter kind of a combo of the 2. I know historically Tactical Arrow was the better of the 2 choices, but Trick Arrow has recently been buffed to come more in line with it. My question is does anyone of any experience with the builds, and is there any synergy between the sets that a newbie like myself might not be aware of? Thanks all!

Apologies, didn’t mean to offend! Appreciate the help.

Thanks man, that was the insight I needed. In that case, I might just go full archer =P

I’m interested in possibly running a Dual Pistol/Tactical Arrow Blaster or a Trick Arrow/Dual Pistol Defender. Does anyone have experience with either of these combos? How do they flow? I’d imagine it COULD be jarring jumping from one set of weapons to the other. If you use “no redraw” do the weapons just disappear when you switch between power sets? Thanks, and sorry for all the questions!

Hi all! New PvP player here. I’m hoping to build a blaster and wanted some insight on solid builds/power set combos! I had my eyes set on either Ice/ or Dark/ as the primary, mixed with either /Energy or /Electric for the secondary. I’m open to options though! I hear some things like DP/TA can be spicy proc monsters =P I also have a lv 50 EM/EA Stalker. Is that a build worth investing in for PvP? Thanks in advanced all!

I also just found your build, so no worries! Although I’m still interested in how the flow between TA/DP is compared to TA/Arrow.

You mind sharing your build? How does TA/DP feel as far as flow? Is it jarring moving between weapons?

I just wanted to hop back in this thread and said thanks to everyone for all their insight and advice. I decided to roll an Elec/Storm, mostly for a thematic reasons. Into the 30's now and having a great time! Definitely a combo/archetype I feel will really shine once I get proper sets in it. Hearing from everyone here though has me wanting to roll 5 more controllers 😂

This is super well thought out and informative. I went with Elec/Storm mostly for them, but now you have me wanting to try more combos out!

This is a pretty good sell man =P I appreciate you writing this up. A Geo Storm type character is a cool concept.

Grav/Storm is a classic pairing I hear! So many good options. Thanks for the insight man. I’ve heard that about Elec/Storm. Some tell me they just drop the sleep at their feet as a way to mitigate baddies when they run at them, but I agree that you’re kind of pigeon-holing yourself into only using it that one way.
