Doomguide2005 Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 The one you enjoy?! More seriously afaik they should really be very similar. End drain is Electric's thing and to my knowledge it isn't effected by AT mods that might normally favor defenders but then there aren't any rains or anything especially outstanding scourge-wise to favor corruptors either.

I am going to slightly disagree here, my friend 🙂 1. Elec affinity does end drain as well on two powers, and one of them is constantly going off, the other is going off whenever you want On defenders , the number is slightly stronger 2. The more important issues are here below The shields The absorbs The heals The buffs The debuffs They are all better on the Defender Defensively the Defender will make a much stronger build for yourself as well __________________________ To the OP, I therefore recommend the Defender version. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would you rate Electric Affinity as a Defender primary Voltak? Aesthetically, it seems awesome. I hear it can be a difficult set to play though? As in, very clicky and active.

I hear it can be a difficult set to play though? As in, very clicky and active. It's not difficult at all It's clicky if circumstances call for it, to do your specific job since Elec Affinity is a bag of many instruments Kinetics is an easy set to play but it is a very active set , but being and active set does not take away from being easy Elec affinity is just like that , if it calls for you to use your powers , so be it, but what powers to use and when is an easy thing to learn and carry out Elec affinity is there at the top circle of buffing/healing only because it has so many instruments You provide endurance Massive recharge bonuses Resistances Area Wide perma status protection Endurance drain protection Absorption And healing Right up there with the best Rez in the game since you can Rez everyone in one shot , not just a single dead person Best of all --- those buffs you can apply to yourself In very hard game content, you may 1 or 2 people die in a full team but you provide immense mitigation to many things In easier game content, elec affinity has easy time keeping everyone buffed or healed if needed I have done the 801 series at the highest difficulty scale I have done even more challenging content than 801 in the AE Elec Affinity is very powerful and a masterfully designed set for defenders I will share videos as soon as I can 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elec/Elec seems great for the full endurance drain, but just curious if there are any other secondaries that have good synergy with Elec Affinity!

Elec/Elec seems great for the full endurance drain, but just curious if there are any other secondaries that have good synergy with Elec Affinity! I love my Electric Affinity/Water Blast defender: Bathe with Toasters. I first rolled a sonic blast Elec Affinity, but the jumping in and out of Faraday cage to maximize the head count for howl and shockwave was more than I cared to bear. Water blast can be either in melee in a Faraday Cage with the melee damage dealers or you can babysit the squishies at range. I beg my blaster teammates to stay in the Faraday cage, and it helps me too, when I am looking for a teammate to blast a heal circuit off of. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elec affinity drains, and the secondary drains too The combo of the two Pets is very neat, they both drain endurance as well THe synergy is amazing Beam Rifle is the second. The modifiers for Defenders is greater ( BR debuffs, that is) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linea Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Defender, it's much easier and more flexible to build the defender. The synergy is very nice. I also like Storm/Elec. Elec/Beam would also work well. I always recommend (Fire, Ice, Water) as well. 1 AE 801 (link) is a variety of missions for fun and challenge, and is designed for a team of 5+ Incarnates. Just search '801' in AE. 801 Difficulty Varies: 801.0 Easy, ..., 801.2 Standard, ..., 801.5 Hard, ..., 801.8 Extreme, ..., 801.A Epic, ... 801.F Death. Angel Hornet (link) - Solo 2-Star ASF (link) - Solo 2-Star ITF (link) I may be AFK IRL, But CoH is my Forever Home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'm leaning either Elec/Elec for the full end drain and double pets (nifty), or Elec/Water, mostly because I run a water Corruptor and I know how safe the set is.

00Troy00 Posted October 25, 2021 Author Share Posted October 25, 2021 Does anyone have a build that has truly kicked ass in endgame content that he/she is willing to share? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did share my build. I think Strider has it. Ask him for it. That is a build for the general easy content of the game at 50 and it works very well when exempt down to lower levels It is not for extreme challenges just the usual easy stuff that COH has.
