DP - Best for Def, Corr or Blaster?

[You]

Which class can make the most of DP?

 

I rather like DP.  I am running a DP/Kin corr at the moment but am Interested to know whether I should reroll it to something else to make the most of the powerset.

 

Thanks!

A Blaster would do more damage since that is what that whole AT is about, but a DP/Kin Corruptor is pretty powerful.  You're just fine with it.  Scourge is your friend.

Well...Hail of Bullets on blaster is pretty useful.

 

DP in general is very useful on any AT though, as the proc potential is excellent and the swap ammo provides a ton of utility.

With the no redraw weapon sets work much better for defenders and corrupters now. It’s a good set for all 3. Blaster for max damage, Defender for max support, Corrupter somewhere in between (as a very rough outline!)

Sentinals play much more like ranged Scrappers I believe so comparisons there are more limited.

So, no one specific AT that DP works better on I presume.

Not really, all the ranged damage ATs play very differently despite sharing the same blast powersets.

The Defender vs Corruptor issue is made even more complicated when you factor in that Defenders get a damage boost playing solo (of around 30%) and most sets with -RES come out slightly on top DPS-wise, inluding raiding whole-team DPS by a higher degree. Some support sets are more suited to a defender and get you more DPS - Storm is the best example because it has a stronger debuff and Lightning Storm does about 10% more damage per zap, but neither LS not tornado trigger Scourge so it performs better on a pylon test on a defender. 

 

If you're always teaming and don't have a -res debuff, corruptor wins - if you mostly play solo or have a -res debuff, defenders either come out on top or are about the same. 

 

The differences aren't nearly as exaggerated as people assume and a lot of it boils down to what triggers Scourge vs how big the debuffs are vs how many people are on the Defender's team.
