Time/Fire - Def or Cor

[scarhead]

I posted awhile ago about creating a steamroll all buff/debuff team. My mates and I made our toons and have done some work with it, but it has been tough sledding for me. I made a son/son def and I'm not really happy with him.

 

Recently I was browsing the Cor forum and saw this build for a Fire/Time Cor that looked really intriguing. DPS Support Tank 

Then I got to thinking, what would changing this to a defender look like? I put it together and it looks like better buffs, as I expected, but the damage looked to be pretty close. I know it's not accounting for scourge, so my question is, what would be the pros and cons of using this build on def vice cor?

 

Thanks.

[Hedgefund]

I happen to have made my first (non farming) character on Homecoming as a Time/Fire defender, because I dearly loved my fire/time corr from live and wanted to see how the inverse played.

 

Honestly, for "feel" (I haven't analyzed a session with Hero stats) the main difference is, as you suspected, Scourge, at least against big targets (meaning AVs/GMs).  They both were/are safe and lethal in general play even as you ratchet up the difficulty and size.

 

That reminds me, because this was my first character, I used a "bargain" build (meaning Posis instead of Ragnarok, that kind of thing).  I need to finally get around to a "premium" build then I can better make an apples-apples comparison (that Corr on live was "premium")

[Darkir]

When it comes to soul drain or fulcrum shift or other multi hit dmg buffs you cannot trust mids damage numbers. In the end fire/time corr will be better overall with considerable  investment. The buffs on a defender will be higher, but often the buffs from power boost/radial clarion+farsight are so significant you don't need anymore as a corr for almost all teams. The damage between a corruptor and defender when buffed with soul drain and any other dmg buffs is very significant and it is due to the higher base damage instead of scourge. 

[Without_Pause]

Corr would be an easy pick for me. I even stumbled upon the idea after thinking how good it could be. Unfortunately Fire is simply better on a corr.

What was your issue with sonic/sonic?
