One of my boys is a DnD junkie and he and I were talking about dragons the other day and concept was born, a poison dragon! So, after much reading and advice I landed on Defender for the AT. Now it's concept first, functionality second. For instance I read that the cones are not exactly optimal since poison likes the fray, but dragons breathe fire and this one also breathes poison. But what I was wondering is, what does Rain of Fire really bring to the party? I was thinking about dropping it and maybe pick up Char, or something else. Also, with the build as is, I didn't pickup Hasten. Inferno looked to be the only thing that really benefitted from it and the attack/debuff chain looks OK, I think. And lastly, I want Fold Space to work, is 2 +5 acc enough? I have it on another toon and it fails at +4 more than it works, very disappointing. Also, this is a teams only toon. Thanks! -WT P.S. I originally went Corruptor, cause...Corruptor, but I have only one Defender and the Poison debuffs look better. Defender (Poison - Fire Blast).mbd

I think another knock on SR is lack of a heal. If you go Dark Melee this is fixed, otherwise you'll have to add in some HP procs. I like Electric Armor alot, my favorite after Rad Armor. But SR is VERY survivable. Your resists scale up as your HP lowers, and it will lower.

I rolled a version of Betty's SS/Regen Brute build. I opted out of the Sorcery Pool, save Mystic Flight, picked up Hand Clap, and chose the Soul Epic Pool. Between Hand Clap and Foot Stomp I can wreck any chance bad guys have of standing in my melee circle of pain. Add in the ST KDs as well...yeah brutal. However! I have loads of problems in ITFs with him since Romans laugh off KD powers. So, in those cases, if my support isn't there then death becomes part of my rotation.

Not my build.... But this thing has some really high numbers, Tanker (Invulnerability - Super Strength)4.mbd

This is not my build, but I forget whose it is. At any rate, as far as resistances go, this build has the best I'd seen for Invulnerability. Hmm, won't let me upload....brb Server issues won't let me upload... I'll try again later.

I don't have a Savage Melee tank, only Brutes, because the bleeds increase with rage, Also, my SM builds are proc'd to help boost the frontload damage. I worked on a SM/DA Brute build, but this was before Obscure Sustenance and didn't like that I couldn't get a epic AOE because of the endurance demand from DA, so I knew it wouldn't be as good as my SM/Bio build, so it seemed pointless to pull that trigger. BUT man do I have a great concept for it. That being said... How is Obscure Sustenance? Does it really help with the endurance woes?

As far as I know, RT was the only thing that got hit. I'm respec'ing out of it on my Tank and Brute, but my Stalker is keeping it just with reduced slotting. In my testing thus far, Radiation Therapy only adds survivability, which my build doesn't need. Though I will admit, RT did save me a couple times in a 4* Aeon, I threw a full set of TotN in it and it will refill the green bar fully with just a few baddies on you and the recharge isn't half bad a that point. Rad Armor is prob still my favorite armor set, just now I feel like I'll need to find another AOE...

Question about proc'ing out Fiery Melee... I was putting a build together and according to MIDs most of Fiery Melee's attacks proc out very nicely. BUT then I got to thinking, fire damage is the least resisted in game, so would it make more sense to just boost the inherent damage of the power and then also reap the benefits of all the set bonuses? I was putting together a Brute build, but assume it's the same across all the melee ATs. Thanks! -WT

I looked through some builds and pieced together this WB/CD. Hoping to get some opinions on it. For regular content and on a good team for possible star content. Thanks! -WT Forum Share - Corruptor (Water Blast - Cold Domination).mbd

Honestly, from where I'm sitting, it's probably the best class, or at least it brings more to the table than the rest. At this point, a lil over a year in, I've rolled most ATs. But I always come back to my two favs, Corruptors and Brutes. I have good builds on any 50 that I also have full incarnates on, that include everything but a Controller, a Sentinel, and a Master Mind. These three classes just don't jive with me. Corruptors are pretty strong good damage and good buffs/debuffs/heals

You could try this... Scrapper (Savage Melee - Radiation Armor).mbd

Once RT lost out on procs it became useless as an attack to me. My Stalker can still benefit from the heal so I've altered that build to 2 slots in RT and picked up Ball Lightning to replace the AOE we lost.

Radiation Therapy is borderline useless unless you need a heal every 30 seconds or you think 9 hp/sec is worth shooting for, but as an attack it's completely useless now. It needs accuracy so you can't just throw any healing set in it which leaves you using TotN or ToE. (I suppose you could 5 piece Panacea with an ACC I/O) I have a Brute, Stalker, and Tanker with Rad armor, only on the Stalker is Radiation Therapy useful, and even still then I'm thinking of spec'ing out of it for an epic AOE, because RT no longer fills that gap. If I were to keep it, I'd drop it down to 2 slots just for a heal that isn't half bad, or 3 slots if you need HP and 9% ACC from TotN. Also, RT's recharge is the new "adaptive recharge." The more bad guys you hit with it the longer it takes to recharge, so the 7 seconds MIDs shows it what it is when you only hit 1 dude, it's ~30 if you hit 10. And.....I think, you really need to 2 slot Hasten with recharge and +5 them both to get the most bang for your buck.

This should do well. Brute (Fiery Melee - Dark Armor).mbd

I feel the same about Dual Pistols. I like my character and therefore I like playing it, but yes it feels very underwhelming. I realized this when it was just me and a tank wailing on an EB for what felt like forever. Lethal is just too resisted and the bump from fire ammo doesn't really fill the gap. My concept of what's "good" is shifting somewhat. I've recently rolled a triple fire blaster and a version of @Spaghetti Betty SS/regen brute. Both do unbelievable damage, so much so it's skewing my view... My fire/dark/soul corruptor is prob the only one I've got that's close to those two.
