I have a D3 Corruptor Level 50+ & a D2 Brute Level 31.... Love Dark sets. Corruptor gives great control & DPS and once you have Enhancements Set fully in Endurance is rarely if ever an issue. Truth is the difference between Defender & Corruptor is small in actual play, it really does not matter, they choice is yours. Dark Powers I do not use are Dark Pit, Blackhole, Oppressive Gloom, Torrent & Moonbeam. I may respec grabbing Oppressive Gloom or Torrent (very situational) or Moonbeam (after the snipe change, but not sure room in rotation) or adding Maneuvers losing Hasten (which I only use to recharge long CD powers) & my travel power (relying on Ninja+Sprint+Jet packs). I do not like the Fury Mechanic with Dark/Dark Melee & its ruined my Melee experience. I will probably reroll my Melee as a scrapper. Shadow Maul is actually a terrible power & best not used in your rotation (because of the animation). Until there is a reason to play a Tank in this game (Scrappers & Brutes can tank any one or two mobs as effectively as a Tank).... Never played a 3D Controller might need to try that.... Someone else can try a Dark Blaster.... :P

These are my original characters from years ago on COH that are being reborn now on Homecoming... along with a few new additions

He got approval to be a hero, and then bought a Saturdaynight Special and started capping fools. Then they took it back. Apparently there was no vetting process at the time. Think "Falling Down" with a twist.... he gets to be first at something for the first time in his life... then they (City Bureaucrats) take it away, because he fought local toughs & troublemakers that complained to those same City Bureaucrats, who then decided it was easier to get rid of this "old accountant with a gun" than lose the local tough & troublemakers votes.

These are my characters from live years ago.... I have recreated them on Torchbearer. I also have created two new ones for Torchbearer as well..... I will have a new character each day till Saturday....

Thank you... I just want to share the bio's of my Villains for all to enjoy!

I dunno. I kinda like the sense that he missed the entire point all along. First Defender.... was the first one to sign up to "defend" Paragon City.... He showed up the City Bureaucrat said.. "You want to DEFEND, Paragon City... Congratulations your the FIRST one to sign on... Btw what is your Super hero name?" The rest is history....

And as that was the highlight of his accountant life.... he was damn well not going to let being first slip through his fingers.... >:( :P

I spoke with George Bedford (the make believe Villain in CoH) just now about the issue of gender "polar"ization, George agrees, nothing is colder than his Rachel.

I never did incarnate choices on live. Looked today and saw I had unlocked Alpha, Judgement and Interface.... Lore and destiny are at 96%. I have no idea which I should be considering but these look like options Alpha -Vigor, Cardiac, Intuition, Musculature Judgement - Cryonic, Ion, Mighty Interface- Paralytic-Diamagnetic Lore- Does it matter or just cosmetic Destiny- Incandescence (it has a team teleport to where I do not know) Any advice appreciated!

....... and shutting down innocent humor is even worse. Nobody can shut down innocent humor without George's wife Rachel's permission.... and she is a hard woman... to get to do anything! ;D

Stinging Bee was asked for comment on this controversy.... his response was... "BUZZ... BuzZ...buzZ" :P

.....lazy..... MCM I seriously think you are not giving George Bedford the credit he deserves... It took real effort to get off the couch, find his shoes, get in the car, go to Walmart (on a Saturday afternoon), put together his contraption, after the nap he took upon returning from Walmart of course. And to cap it all off, he was able to complete this project with 3 beers left over from his case of 24 Molson, he bought for the occasion.

Thank's for the feedback Darkir! Yup Torchbearer is where I am located.... global is @I Am Despair Character is Dark Messenger

Great thread! I am a level 50 (Just this weekend) D3 Corruptor and never played with the IO Sets in the old days. Here is a link to the post I made in the corruptor forums https://forums.homecomingservers.com/index.php/topic,3060.0.html Not trying to hijack the thread :P but trying to get some common advice from ya'all! Powers I am not using: Dark Pit, Black Hole, Oppressive Gloom, and Moonbeam. While Moonbeam can get to instant cast on occasion, I find I have a solid rotation with Gloom, Dark Blast, Life Drain, TT etc... that it is the least important of my damage abilities. I see you choose not to use Torrent which is a power on the bubble for me too. What is your thinking/reasoning on dumping Torrent? If I do not use torrent I am thinking Maneuvers or Vengeance, paired with Assault & Tactics. Would it be smarter to grab Tough/Weave & lose the offensive Assault & Tactics? Great info so far!

EDITED JUNE 1 My Endurance usage I think is too high... What changes should I make? NOW INCLUDING SETS!

This is a great thread especially the comments of Murchelago & Nightmarer. I have a Dark Melee Brute 31 & a new 50 Dark/Dark Corruptor, and I never played with IO's sets live. While a scrapper discussion, your back and forth is very informative. Thank you all

Played around with Dark Pit with my level 46 Dark/Dark Corruptor. It unperformed. It will only sometimes stun minions, nothing higher & its effect is short. Going to respec out of it. As for Dark Servant, solo I think he has value, in a group he is too much of a liability. Unless I stay away from the battle and avoid using twilight grasp & Blackstar he will aggro other groups even remotely near the already engaged mobs. I appreciate your thoughts and feedback very much

Thanks Russhood!

I would be interested in your thoughts on a sonic/sonic vs a cold/sonic. I keep going back and forth on which I want to play, after trying Rad/Sonic and being underwhelmed at the combo

I have seen your Bio/Spines build.... I remember reading your leveling a WP/Spines build too. Can you post one as I just rolled that and not sure what I am doing... :) Thanks

Thank you for this wonderful post... The enthusiastic nature of the writing makes me want to stop and reading and play! BYE ;D
