Cheap Water-Time-Dark Build

[Bionic_Flea]

Moist Fist on Excelsior asked for a cheap build for Water-Time Dark.  I concentrated on recharge to get perma-Chrono Shift and Farsight and then a bit of defense spread around so that it has 30ish defense to all vectors and positions such that a team or small purple will get you to softcap.  Another excellent feature is that a fully saturated Soul Drain + Tidal Forces with a lucky Gaussian proc will get you just shy of the damage cap for corruptors and a 900 damage Geyser without Scourge.

Notwithstanding the attractiveness of Soul Drain, if you go Power Mastery you get Power Build Up, which buffs Farsight and allows you to softcap defenses.

[Carnifax]

This is how I'd go about it. PBed Farsight makes a huge difference. The downside is that Souls version of Soul Drain has twice the recharge of Darks. Procs go nicely in Water Jet because of the insta-recharge thing. Steam Spray is one of the better cones overall so I like keeping it. You only need Aqua, Dehydrate & Jet as single target blasts. 

 

Sorcery is just flavour, you could drop it for something else like Fighting (but PBed Farsight means you don't really need Weave).
