Water/Cold build

[Crazyleo]

I'm looking for a Water/Cold Domination build to look at as a template for my own build.

 

[SeraphimKensai]

There's some pretty good ones here in this sub forum. You just have to scan through the titles several pages and you'll find what you see.

 

Roll for initiative.

[Hjarki]

First, I think this is easier as a Defender rather than a Corruptor. If you notice the build above, he needs to invest a ton of effort into Defense that wouldn't be necessary on a Defender - and that takes away from the ability to do things like slot procs.

 

Let's start with the single target rotation. Water has terrible baseline ST damage. However, it does have an attack - Water Jet - that performs exceptionally well with procs. You can quad-proc it and get great performance with a rotation like so:

0s: Aqua Bolt

1.188s: Water Jet

2.772s: Aqua Bolt

3.910s: 1.32s of whatever

5.230s: Water Jet

6.814s: Water Jet

8.002s: 1.32s of whatever

9.322s: Back to '0s' above

 

Each regular proc you put into Water Jet will (@0% internal recharge) yield another 15.6 dps. The Apocalypse proc will yield 30.0 dps. So you're looking at 75 or dps before you even get around to worrying about the actual damage of the attack (which is higher than any other single target option you have).

 

If you were a Sentinel or Blaster you could use attacks like Taser or Sting of the Wasp. Toxic Dart is available, but it does weak damage with a proc-unfriendly recharge and in a pool that we otherwise don't need. So there are no perfect options. However, a combination of proc'd Infrigidate and Dominate/Char from epic fits the bill nicely. While none of these powers recharge quickly enough to be used twice in the rotation having both means you can cover both of the "1.32s of whatever" slots. Infrigidate is slightly too fast for our purposes, but there's a bit of lag between activations anyway.

 

For AE, Water Burst and Geyser are obvious choices. Water Burst can make good use of Force Feedback, but Geyser's recharge is a bit long for FF to make much of an impact. A Corruptor should normally take Whirlpool for the Scourge potential and stacking slow with Sleet.

 

For slotting, I'd probably start with the full ATO set in Aqua Bolt and the two split ATOs in Water Burst/Geyser, leaving sets like Ice Mistral or Artillery for Whirlpool/Sleet. Infrigidate would just take a panoply of procs, Dominate/Char Unbreakable Constraint proc + whatever. Water Jet would be Apoc D, D/E, proc and three more procs.

 

Frostwork is probably a good place for Preventative Medicine. Heat Loss would probably slot +3.75% defense/+3.75% recharge from End Red sets.

 

In terms of pools, you'd probably be going with Fighting, Speed (Hasten), Leadership and either Leaping or Flight (I'd veer towards Flight since it's a more useful defense/travel power for a purely ranged build). As previously noted, either Psi or Flame would be the Epic pool.

 

Overall, you're just slotting for perma-Hastern (which is actually a wee bit too slow for the rotation above) and soft-cap Ranged.
