54x8 Solo ITF Help

[Unclemarty]

Hi Everyone, 

 

I have been fiddling around with a Water/Kin corruptor build for a while with a goal of soloing a 54x8 ITF. I've been running into some issues with optimizing between damage and survivability so I'm hoping ya'll experts could offer some advice. 

 

First off: here is the build I'm currently running with a focus on ranged defense.  (1st post, I apologize if the formatting is weird)

This Villain build was built using Mids Reborn 3.0.5.7

Level 1: Scourge 

Level 1: Brawl

 

The gameplan is usually to stealth into the mob and sleep them with mass hypnosis, then fulcrum shift and back out to range before unloading with AOEs. I have found that 1 round of AOE + fulcrum shift deletes minions and some lieutenants, But I am not getting enough damage to chew through bosses well. The single target damage usually isn't good without a saturated FS up either. 

 

Before testing this build, I had a more procced out version that sacrificed ranged def set bonuses for much better damage, but I didn't get far with that version either. I've considered trying to build for melee def but I have no debuff resistance and the -def of the ITF content has me wary about staying in melee too long.

 

Do you think a solo 4x8 is possible with this powerset combo? Should I be leaning on temp powers more? Should I adjust the attack strategy or build? 

Any advice would be appreciated. 

Thanks!

Given that you mention temps, I will assume you're not opposed to insps. I think the easiest path here is to rely heavy on procs for your single target attacks, build for ~20% defense to all, and chomp on 2+ luck insps a minute to survive, converting every other insp type to lucks.

 

I'm not seeing Water Jet in your build, isn't it the best ST attack for Water? (I'm not familiar with that primary)

 

If you're going for /psi mastery, you could also replace Arcane Bolt for a procced out Dominate.
