Water/Cold = A Slush Fund o' Procs

Redlynne · October 11, 2019

So, all the way back in July (on the 4th, to be exact) I posted a Corruptor build before all of the PPM research we all know and love had become a "thing" yet, where the idea was to buff/debuff your way to victory. Of course, since then we've had quite a lot of proc monster research done by @Bopper and @Sir Myshkin and even @SmalltalkJava using various archetypes and powers combinations ... meaning that a lot of the notions underpinning that old build wound up proving redundant and/or unnecessary when examined in greater detail using the PPM formulas that got released.

And then I discovered just yesterday that Infrigidate (of all things) makes for an almost ideal proc monster power, and it's a T1 in the Cold Domination secondary!

Needless to say, when I blew the dust off that old build of mine, it didn't 6 slot Infrigidate ... which of course meant I'd "need" to go in and rebuild it if I wanted to benefit from my own Proc Fu discovery.

So here's what came out of that refactoring for Proc Fu effort ... and yes ... obligatory WALL OF TEXT CRITS YOU!!! warnings are now in effect.

Obviously the first major change was moving Infrigidate from a 2 slot power to a 6 slot power and just loading it up with procs, procs and even more procs (5 in total in fact). In the context of this build overall, since ALL of the set bonuses are in effect from Exemplar Levels 24+ I decided to "break with tradition" in my builds and go ahead and pick Hasten at Level 28 so that Hasten will always be available at Exemplar Levels 23+. This necessitated delaying Benumb until Level 30 instead of taking Benumb at 28, but that's an extremely small price to pay for the amount of Recharge buffing that can be obtained elsewhere throughout the build, and caused some other reshuffling of power picks (Victory Rush got dropped, for example).

As detailed in my other thread on the subject, Infrigidate is simply too good of a power to NOT proc monster it out to the maximal extent ... and in this build from Exemplar Levels 24-50 it is capable of delivering three damage procs (71.75 each!) every 7.09s (6.09s recharge, 1s animation time), which is nigh insane(!) for a power that doesn't do any damage at all by default. With a 90% chance to proc each of the three damage procs (pre-clamp chance to proc is 93.33%) that averages out to 0.9*71.75=64.575 damage per power activation for each of the three damage procs, which then computes to an average of 193.725 damage (of three different types, Smashing, Lethal and Negative Energy) no faster than once per 7.09s ... for an average damage output of up to a theoretical maximum of 27.32 damage per second averaged over an infinite time horizon ... with an averaged damage per endurance cost of 26.04 damage per endurance averaged over that same infinite time horizon ... which is just NUTS(!).

And that's not even including the defense, recharge and speed debuffing native to the power ... nor the effects of the Achilles' Heel proc nor the Pacing of the Turtle proc rendering whatever you hit with Infrigidate subject to what amounts to a "slow motion poor man's hold" that is not only perma but can be spread around a spawn group to cover 2 or even 3 $Targets simultaneously ... or just reapplied to the original $Target drain the life out of their green bar. Ouchies!

So that happened ... ❄️

However, once I realized just how much of a proc monster Infrigidate was, it suddenly became less important to maintain copies of the procs in Infrigidate in other powers ... so out came the Pacing of the Turtle procs and so on that didn't need to be repeated elsewhere. At the same time, other sets which I hadn't known about previously (or hadn't understood well enough to use them skillfully) are now available through the current generation of build planners, further altering the opportunities for cleverness. Plus, I'd done a fair amount of research myself on the prospects of using low PPM procs in fast recharging powers, so I had a better understanding of what I could perhaps get away with and how to reshuffle sets around to better link desired procs with particular powers and ensure that those procs successfully activated more often.

The result is a build where:

Aqua Bolt and Dehydrate can generate endurance for you (always useful!).
Hydro Blast can debuff recharge and speed (also useful) while buffing your own recharge (always useful).
Water Burst can debuff resistances on a group of $Targets without coming into conflict with the resistance debuffing done by Infrigidate (pretty useful) while buffing your own recharge into the bargain (always useful).
Whirlpool can Immobilize $Targets within it to prevent them from escaping the AoE (pretty darn useful).
Tidal Forces has an uptime of approximately 1:3 from Exemplar Levels 24-50 (really useful).
Dehydrate does almost as much damage on average as Aqua Bolt in addition to healing you and giving you endurance into the bargain (sweetness!).
Frostwork not only buffs others for a ton of +Max HP but it can also proc an Absorb shield (awesome!).
Water Jet has the Malice of the Corruptor damage proc in it so as to "get more bites at the apple" from consuming Tidal combo levels than it should (clever use of game mechanics!).
Steam Spray not only has its range extended out to over 65ft(!) (65.52ft to be exact) but it also has an over 50% chance to proc Achilles' Heel onto anything has hasn't already been resistance debuffed yet (EBIL...).
Geyser is a true NUKE power that can be used once every 50 seconds and has a 90% chance to proc Force Feedback even against a single $Target (say wha??).
Sleet is slotted for Slow debuffing but has been given the Overwhelming Force proc for Knockdowns to help ensure that $Targets have a harder time getting out of the AoE and thus take more damage (nasty!).
Heat Loss has been slotted with a full Efficiency Adaptor to turn it into an "endurance slurp" for an entire team that can be used every 120 seconds and offer a massive recovery boost for 90s (awesome!).
And there's still room for One Slot Wonder versions of Maneuvers, Assault, Tactics and Vengeance for the endgame (nifty!).

So to put it mildly, I'm rather inordinately pleased with how well this rebuild turned out, all things considered. There's less (wasteful) redundant overlap between procs on different powers and although Hasten isn't "perma" while standing still at the Auction House, it almost certainly will be perma once you start attacking using Hydro Blast, Water Burst and Geyser thanks to the Force Feedback procs slotted into those powers. Benumb will debuff regeneration while Infrigidate will debuff recharge, making it possible for groups to take down Big Bads™ more easily, and there's enough resistance debuffing in Infrigidate, Water Burst and Steam Spray combined with Assault from the Leadership pool to tilt the battles further in your direction by default.

The one thing this build doesn't have is softcapped Defenses ... but that's what Vengeance and purple inspirations are for. 😎

So with all of that out of the way ... on with the build plan!

Why are you using low level enhancements in this build (mostly lvl 27)? The ATOs will automatically be 50, but you have them slotted as lvl 27. Same goes for the winter IOs. You have also used +3 Hamis in steam spray, these only go to +2 even though mids allows you to put in +3s. In order to softcap defenses you would need vengeance and a purple insp as you have mentioned. I personally dont like relying on someone dying in order to have good defenses. Still I know it is much harder to softcap defenses and have a proc build on a corruptor due to the lower numbers (this is why /time is easier to build for proc corruptors). For me, I would prefer a build with higher defenses even if that meant I had to take a bit less procs, I would also likely offset the damage loss by getting perma (or close) soul drain. The extra base damage on a corruptor really shines when you can buff its dmg.

Only if you're taking the Superior versions which are auto purpled and attuned.

Because the build is written using the non-Superior versions of the ATO enhancements.

Yes ... it does.

Aw crumbs ... I'd hoped that had been fixed on Homecoming. Oh well, I get to edit a bunch of build posts to fix that oversight.

Or just use multiple purple inspirations. Vengeance is an "opportunity struck (someone else down)" kind of thing, rather than something to be relied on full time.

Hey, I never claimed this build would be Great For Everyone™! (or words to that effect).

Now, if there's stuff in here that inspires you to do something "clever" in your own build(s) without using this build as a cookie cutter to copy in ALL respects ... even then I will consider myself to be well repaid for my efforts in posting this build at all.

Soul Drain is a PBAoE which doesn't exactly mesh well with the "all attacks from range" vibe I've got going with the rest of the build. It can be done, sure ... but it's not quite as awesome a blending as with say Hail of Bullets out of the Dual Pistols powerset where you can one-two combo Soul Drain into Hail of Bullets and then get on with your life while everything around you is in a world of hurt.

Fair enough. You've thought about everything and so you have it all covered. I will say that I look at Infrigidate as a non-worthless power now, so that is certainly a plus. I really dislike the choices that being a corruptor thrusts on you sometimes, like being forced to take time crawl for instance.

Spent some time revising multiple(!) build posts I've made so as to limit the HOs to +2 instead of +3 in builds.

This is my current version of a relatively inexpensive Water/Cold Corrupter using all attuned sets for leveling and exemping which has been working very well for me. I do use Infrigidate to proc Achilles' Heel but that's it. If I had spare slots I could see adding the damage procs. I don't find -recharge that useful for high end content where it tends to be resisted heavily. Between the proc in Infrigidate and double stacking Sleet with a 17 sec recharge that is plenty of -res. I have soft capped S/L/E defense and enough recharge without any recharge procs for permahasten and Geyser at 31 sec with Agility alpha. I could see the extra recharge from procs helpful while exemping but I tend to focus builds on end game content and just rely on the attuned sets for exemping. I found Sleet and Whirlpool completely unreliable for procs and from what I have read that seems consistent with other posting when it comes to comparable rains and pseudpets. For Tidal Forces and any other buildup type power I stick with just the single slot (assuming spiritual or agility alpha) with Guassian's Chance for Buildup which will proc 90% of the time every 30 secs. I usually avoid taking both T1 & T2 blast powers since there is typically enough recharge where only one is needed for an attach chain so I just went with Aqua Bolt (Personally I don't care for the Hydro Blast animation).

Frostwork not only buffs others for a ton of +Max HP but it can also proc an Absorb shield (awesome!).

That's not how the preventative medicine proc works, or you're not being clear for those who haven't used it. No matter what, the proc only affects you. It's more of a one-piece set bonus, akin to Gambler than a proc. You can put it in anything that takes a heal and it gives you a chance of triggering a bit of absorb when you get low on health, but it never transfers to allies.

Have you actually had a chance to play this build? It seems great on paper but to me you also seem way overloaded on trying to do too many things at once. What does an attack chain look like? I feel like with Infrigidate you can drop one of you single target blasts because at that level of recharge, you won't want to use one of the lower DPA attacks.

Short answer ... FLEXIBLE ... depending on what the situation calls for.
