What's the Best Secondary for Poison?

[00Troy00]

The title says it all. Thanks in advance everyone!

[Dahkness]

Fire for all. Psy blast for if you only run ITF’s

 

[Psylenz0511]

Rad blast for procs

Water for a mix of proc and soft control

Fire for pure dmg

Energy blast for +recharge proc goodness

Sonic for additional -resist debuffing

curious....why psy for ITF's?

[Omega Force]

Psy pierces the T9 effects of the giants and minotaurs.

You forgot Ice for procs, slows, and to be a Def-Troller!

Do:

/dp works with everything. -dam.

/ice for slows.

/rad for tier 9 hold to go with your poison trap.

/arrow for ultimate tier 9 recharge so nuke is always up.

/psy as -rech is highly undervalued.

/elec for fun with sapping (Poison trap helps quite a bit).

/water for bouncy fun time... and self heal.

/Fire if you gotta. I got extra dots on everything so more damage.

 

Don't:

/dark for you can't hit me... and self heal. 3 cone powers means this is too tricky to be really fun for me.

/Sonic for -res. same 3 cone situation as with dark. limits synergy options.

/BR for some interesting situations in very late game but mine didn't last that long. 🙂

/Energy take too much proc work to make this a kdown instead of a kback char so limits your pbaoe and poison trap.

 

um...

/Assault Rifle has anyone ever tried AR as a defender? 🙂

 

 

So the answer is obvious. Poison/AR!

Rad would be good I think.  1 target aoe, 2 pbaoe, including the nuke.    Add in nice procs. Lots of boom boom after you poison bomb

raises hand

 

I have an AR defender with Elec primar, was shooting (ha!) for a steampunk vibe.  It's...not good.  No debuffs to take advantage of defender numbers and low damage combined with lethal damage just makes it feel so awful.  Do not recommend.

On behalf of the defender community, we thank you for trying it out. 🙂

Oh! OH!  Me!

Every since a friend of mine unloaded on me full power with his assault rifle blaster on my sonic/sonic defender, using assault rifle reminds me of a couple lines from blazing saddles:

and

 

use it for fun sure, use it for uberness.... well.

     Well of course.

     Haven't yet on HC but on Live had a villainous Emp/AR as part of RO's Redside's counterpart to Green Machine called Greed Machine.  She was a slightly off her rocker former combat medic at least in my mind canon.  Ended up solo for most of the last half of the journey but did see lvl 50 well before Sunset.  Honestly don't recall if she hit 50 before Incarnates were introduced but want to say yes.
