If you reduce Corruptor base damage to make up for the extra damage from more Scourge, then you haven't changed anything with the AT overall, and you've made their ability to do damage more random and less reliable. What's the benefit of doing that?

But why? Why do Corruptors need to do more damage? It's largely acknowledged that players are doing too much damage as a whole, so why is a damage buff justified for this entire AT? They already do more damage than Defenders outside of heavy proc shenanigans.

On paper, sure, but as was pointed out earlier, the more teammates you have, the faster enemies die and the less chance you have to Scourge.

Same as Scourge, no?

This is literally what the damage buff from Vigilance is for.

Dominators and Controllers get a temp power that lets them hold all nearby 5th Column enemies, and Blasters and Corruptors get a temp power that deals massive damage to held enemies. You're supposed to cycle those to clear out the ambushes as they come.

Solo they'll live long enough for Scourge to have a chance to kick in.

So help me understand. A crux of the issue people have is that Scourge isn't useful against minions or lieutenants. But minions and lieutenants are basically just trash mobs that evaporate in the face of a typical team anyway. So why is it a problem that the inherent doesn't really help Corruptors kill them even faster?

How old is everyone now? I’ve gotten a little older since this thread started and I wonder if I might have a shot at the top now.

Having to wait over 30 levels for a character with superhuman regeneration to be able to pick themselves up from defeat just makes no sense to me.

I dunno why people think RttC is so great. I have two level 50 Willpower characters and neither has found the buffs from RttC enough to offset the extra damage that gathering mobs on you brings, unlike Invincibility.

Revive needs to come earlier in the set.

VEAT Regen is 20% stronger than other ATs, and Recovery is 5% stronger.

Why do you have more VEATs than VEATs have build options

Those numbers are how it works when no confuse is in play. If the damage was done by a confused enemy, only 1/4th of the damage they did counts against you. So if you do 75% of the damage to an enemy and confused foes deal the remaining 25%, you get xp as if you did 93.75% of the damage.

VEAT Regeneration and Recovery is higher at base than other ATs. It effectively makes all Regeneration and Recovery effects on them stronger than they are on other ATs. Diminishing returns don't enter into it.

What's wrong with a free ATO? I want a free ATO!

This is an easy fix: give Shatter Armor in Mace Mastery Clobber's animation and cast time. Right now it has the same animation as Shatter.

You'll make a Mastermind to get whip powers, and they'll suck, and you're gonna like it!

Just swamp gas.

Well I'd say that counts as testing them, wouldn't you?

I assume you're talking about Power Surge? Personally I think the real problem with Power Surge is that if you take Tough, Elec Armor will pretty easily cap its S/L/E resists on every AT besides Brutes. You need IOs to get to the S/L cap, but it's easily doable. And once you have, Power Surge won't do anything at all for the most common types of damage, so it's virtually worthless even if you don't worry about the crash.

This trips up a lot of players. Some IOs with special effects are procs, and can be used as long as you have access to the power, while others work as set bonuses, and work as long as you're no more than 3 levels below the enhancement level. There's no rule of thumb or labeling that lets you tell them apart, you just have to memorize them, ask other players, or test them to find out which they are.

ET never stopped hitting like a truck, it just takes longer to do it now.

You're exemplared to level 9, the Sovereign Right is level 31 and wouldn't work below 28, and Expedient Reinforcement isn't available below level 30, so the attuned version wouldn't work below 27.
