Troyusrex Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 When Homecoming became known to me I rolled a Storm/Ice defender for nostalgic reasons. I choose to take three rain powers: Blizzard, Ice Storm and Freezing Rain. I LOVE this toon and those rain powers are a good part of why. I tried looking around, including at City of Data 2.0, to see if there might be a build that could fit even more rain powers, but wasn't able to find any. I figured I'd tap into the collective knowledge here. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psyonico Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Pretty sure 3 is the most you'll get. 2 from ice blast and then one from storm or cold. What this team needs is more Defenders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roleki Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 What about rain that goes straight up, like in Forest Gump? Because, Ice Slick does that now. He doesn't HAVE an ass. That's one of the things we're transplanting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Ice/Cold or Storm/Ice Controller is also a solid choice. Damn!

Here be Dragons Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Ice/Storm Corruptor is the correct answer, with Scourge providing the icing on the cake! (Although CoD seems to indicate that the Storm secondary powers don't get Scourge 😞 ) With a KB>KD IO, you should also consider Tornado to be a rain power with radius of 7 - a rain which chases your target. I often use the Overwhelming Force proc in Tornado because I want maximum damage with KD, max recharge (including ForceFeedback +recharge), and any additional defense debuff that I can get. Such an amazing power! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Although CoD seems to indicate that the Storm secondary powers don't get Scourge 😞 ) Storm is one of the odd sets that is arguably more suited to a defender. Lack of Scourge + high pet damage + higher debuffs on a defender mean that Storm Defenders slightly outperform Storm corruptors in terms of DPS, based on pylon testing. This particularly true solo when the Defender inherent power does increase pet damage.

kelika2 Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 As others said ice/storm has the most but freezing rain only does like 20 damage max at 50 and mostly there to debuff If you really just want lots of numbers check out a fire/trick arrow corr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just realized last week I had an unslotted Ice/Storm Corruptor languishing on Excelsior; slotted it up and damn if that isn't an entertaining little bugger. He doesn't HAVE an ass.

Troo Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 (edited) Ice Blast or Archery paired with Trick Arrow on a Corruptor is likely the most "rain" powers. Could do on a Defender but not as effectively. Trick Arrow (bonus, mostly quick animations) Flash Arrow (Targeted AoE) Poison Arrow (Targeted AoE) Glue Arrow (Ranged Location AoE) Acid Arrow (Ranged Location AoE) Disruption Arrow (Ranged Location AoE) Oil Slick Arrow (Ranged Location AoE) EMP Arrow (Ranged Location AoE) Edited August 29, 2022 by Troo "Homecoming is not perfect but it is still better than the alternative.. at least so far" - Unknown (Wise words Unknown!)

However if you're looking at powers that have an targeted area of effect that do damage over time, then there are other combinations that have much more powers that can do that. A Fire/martial/Ice master dom for example would have 6 such powers. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
