That's really not true. Most Tanks can get a cone or PBAoE by 20

Gauntlet's power doesn't have a to-hit check, however, the attack you use has to hit for gauntlet's AoE to fire.

Poison plays best in melee post Venomous Gas though. I agree fire/dark would be better than fire/poison, but you would have 2 PBAoEs with fire/poison.

Depends on what your want to do with it... I've been eyeing an Earth/Cold for a couple days, myself.

What MoonSheep said. Turn off scourge and you'll see the true values that Corruptors get.

Hmm, did that get changed? I know the combo used to be a thing

So, remember, you can't enhance -recharge in powers. So you might be able to floor movement speed with something, but recharge will still have resistances. That being said, PBU + benumb is a thing of glory

Confounding Chant. A word of warning, however, as that plus the fear are the two main AoE controls you have. So you may do more damage, but the mobs might become un-stunned before you defeat them.

Like every other controller set, Symphony doesn't do much damage by itself. Mine is only 27, so I don't have any high level experience with it yet. The damage in the confuse and Arcane bolt will make up most of your damage. You're going to want to team with it, especially if your secondary is /Sonic.

I'm running Linux and the export function doesn't work right. You should be able to open the mdx file with something like notepad though

Here's my first pass at a Symphony/Sonic, soft capped S/L/E defense with respectable N/F/C defenses, should be moderately successful at damage as well. I'll probably keep tweaking the build a bit more. Controller - Symphony Control - Sonic Resonance.mxd

Yeah, they are the 7(?) Lost leaders from the various lowbie zones.

Venomous Gas + Weaken (hitting splashed targets) can do ~22% to-hit debuff without slotting. With slotting you can get pretty good numbers on that for splashed targets. That combo also provides about 36% -damage to splashed targets. Really the only thing that poison particularly needs is bigger AoEs for Envenom and Weaken.

Toxic Dart is actually a pretty good attack. It's very fast animating. The thing is, it's a long DoT.

There is also Rune of Protection.

Here is some food for thought on secondaries (in no particular order) Sonic - the resist debuffs added to Sleet and Heat Loss will help your team kill faster. Additionally, the page 4 rework means your boss have good AoE damage Dual Pistols - Chemical Rounds means your team is not only getting hit less because of your shields, but are taking less damage when the do get hit. Dark - the to-hit debuffs mixed with your shields will help, you also get a self heal.

Once Mids is updated, I plan on quickly making a build for my symphony/sonic and then I'll post it here.

And TA has oil slick arrow, unfortunately, both come at 35, so it takes a while to get your damaging help

As @Carnifax said, Ice control does very little damage. I tried soloing my ice/ta the other day (which has arcane bolt) and was pretty painful. that being said, ice's control is now way better than it was, so you'll be able to solo safely at least.

I don't remember seeing any info on when it would happen, but my guess it's it would be in the next major update. Which went live in November of last year. If that's the case, and looking at the time frame between page 3 and page 4, you probably have several months before that happens.

Interrupt time is a thing, and it's really annoying.

Sure, but if you're pugging, you're not always going to get 2 colds.

I would make 2 minor changes to the build. Instead of the 2nd Blessing of the Zephyr in Combat Jumping, I'd put the Kismet +Accuracy IO and in Entangling Arrow, I'd slot an Endoplasm HO instead of just the accuracy. I would also try to put Defender's Bastion into something other than Oil Slick so that the proc will fire more. You've got a very proc-heavy build, which is not something I'm super familiar with, so I don't want to make any other comments on it.

ooh, I had that problem too at first. Trying to remember what I did to fix it. I'll get back to you if I remember.

Poison Trap in Traps is pretty much a must take. It's your -regen power and has a nice hold component to it as well. In fast moving teams, however, you'll only use it against AVs/GMs. Poison Trap in Poison is more skippable. It too does a hold (it used to be a sleep, which was basically useless) and it does -recovery. Since Poison doesn't have any -end powers, this is only useful (IMO) if you are Electric Blast.
