Has always been a favorite. Along with WuTang's Storm/Storm concept. Great fun, both.

In a related thread, I see that people don't think the EndMod is worth it. So slot for Accuracy/Damage/Recharge? Is EndRed necessary, because I don't see much End return to me - not enough, anyway, for me to not run out of End myself (already). That's concerning.

Just started a Claws/Stone scrapper named Staunch. During live, I took a bunch of ATs to 50, but only one Scrapper - a Broadsword/SR that just ATE everything and was the last pirate standing. I am finding myself even early in levels, though, just not enjoying the variability I find in running Trollers (my favorite class). Is it really just diving into a group and hoping to survive over and over? I know that's a simplification, but trying to find out how you all add more flavor to your singular focus. Thank you, as always.

Good day all. Per my previous post, Mal Bot, my Electric/Traps is live and at Level 7. What a blast, so far, but I would like some advice from others who have used Electric/ Right now, it's fun to get close enough to toss Caltrops which keeps groups clustered, but they turn and try to (slowly) run out of the area. While I'm there, I nudge closer and fire off Short Circuit, then before someone can take a swing at me, back out far enough to shoot off Ball Lightning. This alone has cleared small groups, but typically, I'll back out and start picking off the stronger enemies first from range with Lightning Bolt, Charged Bolts, and the two prestige ranged weapons (feels like cheating). I've found myself in some hairy situations, but just decided to test myself surrounded by a group of four reds in the street, and it was easy peasy. First question: is this a similar effective low-level attack chain you've used, and do you continue this "blapper lite" style into mid/late game? It doesn't feel like it would be entirely safe against tougher enemies, if I get held, etc. Second, though it's too early to start serious enhancement yet, what have you found to be best? Accuracy/Damage? Accuracy/EndMod? Recharge/Endmod? It's super fun so far (but I say that about my 60 other characters at this stage). Feels like this one could go the distance if I can remain survivable. Thank you as always!

Okay. Made this guy. I think he's gonna be fun. Will likely take the healing power pool for the self heal and ally rez. But so far, loving caltrops (safety) which has always been one of my favorites in the game (like glue arrow). Caltrops does mini AOE, as does a bunch of the other /traps powers to stack with my primary AOEs (don't have ball lightning yet). So though maybe not the min-max king, I am gonna like the visuals. That's one thing that doesn't blow me away about /kin or /time or those. I'm visual that way. Thanks for the advice. I did run all through Mids to see what fit my playstyle best.

I've played so much dark over the years. I get it. It just doesn't have AOE damage that will add to the same from Electric. We all know how to stay safe, so it's not just about that. Just want to tear up rooms with multiple AOEs and Scourge. 🙂

Absolutely my favorite ever. I still dream about dropping Blizzard on rooms.

Hi all. I've played most powersets (except the newer ones) and all ATs in the game since Issue 1 and was hoping to roll a Corruptor with lots of AOE when I'm in the mood to do a bit more damage than my Trollers. Yeah, I know, I know, my Trollers are already gods. I just like seeing the numbers fly as Scourge kicks in. Call me shallow. After going through this forum and all the min-max choices, I am considering Electric / Traps, mostly for personal playstyle with a bit of safety thrown in. I know Fire is the obvious choice here, but played plenty of those. I'm primarily a solo player. Don't need to dominate leaderboards or prove my spreadsheet is better than someone else's. Just want a bit of fun. So does anyone have experience with this combo? Thanks as always!

@Wimbochismo so yes? I can slot it there?

@Wimbochismo so I can't use it? Won't work in Health?

@Wimbochismo I use Mid's. Curious, on something like Miracle, it can be slotted in Twilight Grasp and Health. Does it require a power that activates (TG) to trigger a proc, or will putting it in Health that is constantly running trigger it more regularly?

Thanks so much @Wimbochismo. So how do I calculate how much endurance recovery I am shooting for? I have plenty of cash. 🙂

@Wimbochismo I'm not familiar with what "Health and Stamina end uniques" are.

My Elec/Dark Corruptor is my new favorite alt, and top 3 of my 100+! Incredible combo and fun. But serious endurance issues I am trying to figure out right now.

Thanks for the advice. I ran him up to 27 last night and DID notice big END problems for me. WTF is taking so much of my END? However, and obviously YMMV, I could pretty easily take a whole group's END, which I never thought (from the forum controversy) was going to happen. This combo is WICKED fun to play. Definitely in my top 3!

I build for playstyle, and so far am loving this combo. A trick for everything, survivable, AOEs to take advantage of Scourge while locking groups down. Could become a new favorite, especially with two pets; Anyone play and have build advice for this one? He is Hell Bro on Excelsior. Say hi sometime.

Thank you. Honestly, I never found a Sentinel interesting either. And haven't played Defenders much, always preferring Controllers. Any recommendations on a controller-y Defender? I'm thinking /elec or /seismic would be interesting secondaries.

@Without_Pause, any update on the Elec/Elec Controller versus Defender preference? I am considering the same right now, though @Frosticus makes a good case for a Sentinel, too.

I've tried 'em all, being my favorite AT, and unequivocally, Plant/Storm was my favorite to play to 50 both solo and on teams. A real mixed bag for most situations, great pets, great damage, and big on giggle factor with Audrey 2 running around the battlefield. I tend to rate playstyle and fun over min/max numbers, so if you haven't tried this combination, I highly recommend it.

I'm an idiot. Not sure why I thought it was until I logged into the game and tried to build it on Mids. I've played all your alternatives. Plant/Storm was by far my favorite, and my first 50 way back when. He was known as Eerie Gator.

Have played since Issue 1 and am just now returning. Controllers are my favorite AT of 100+ alts, and I've tried every iteration. But something about Wind/Dark is calling me. First question - is there a better synchronizing secondary? /Traps also caught my imagination. But /Dark is still favorited. Anyone play this, and have any builds you'd like to share? Of course I min/max, but am most excited by the fun - and two pets. Who doesn't love that?! Cheers.

Well that's the question, right? Safety of hover/flight or just go SJ or Athletic Run with my bonuses for getting there (even if slow). Just wondering what the common wisdom/build is.

Been playing with builds, and at a crossroads. Do I take Combat Jumping for its Immobilized -8.3 or Hover for its hover-blasting out of range? I am building a range blaster, so Hover seems logical, but wondering if the Immob resistance is just too good to pass up. I only seem to be able to fit one, which sucks. Any advice? Thanks.

BTW, I just saw a video of this guy KILLING farms on the Water/Atomic Blaster that is built very similarly to what I was proposing to build, but with /TA (see builds in description). Looked like a BLAST!

@Xandyr thanks so much! I'd love to see your build, as it sounds like exactly what I'm building. And I play the game for the giggles, honestly. I've had my min/max toons, but it's the ones I truly love playing that I drive to 50 and love the journey. Hence, my love of Controllers and their flashy powers that melt rooms. I appreciate your assistance.
