Remake my Dark Miasma Corr

[WitchofDread]

Back on live I had a Rad/Dark/Dark corr which i did everything with, she was super tanky and just ate everything up.

 

When homecoming was released I remade her as a Water/Dark/Dark and after getting to 50, fully slotting, and unlocking some Incarnate powers I put her on a shelf. Looking back now i think its because Water wasn't the best fit for me or maybe it was the build in general?

I think perhaps i might have been trying to get too much from the build, taking too many powers and not enough slots. Water has a lot of good damaging abilities to the point that i think there is too much! 

 

I was trying to Fearsome Stare + Tar Patch + Soul Drain + Whirlpool + Water Burst/Geyser etc etc on nearly every encounter. Obviously most if not all would be dead before I even got a chance to cast everything. 

 

I think maybe the key to this build is to perhaps strip out a few abilities, the problem for me at least is identifying which need to go! 

 

I have considered recreating my original and going back to Rad/Dark (cant find the build I used so threw one together):

Or maybe going for something new like Ice Blast:

All that being said out of the 3 sets (Water, Rad, Ice) Water does seem to have the most damage potential? I mean the Tidal Power mechanic with Water Jet is great as it is. 

 

I am at a loss to say the least!

 

I would like to be able to take this character into the higher end of difficulty content as well.

[SeraphimKensai]

I really really enjoy my ice/dark/dark corruptor. It shreds things that aren't hard mode. It does alright in hard mode as well, but /cold is better imo for it than /dark.

 

It all depends on what you want out of your characters and how you build them.

[WitchofDread]

In your experience why is cold better? Doubling down on -res? Access to -def? How do you manage without a self heal?

     Ice/Cold means everything is moving and attacking slowly if not running away (Avoid).  You've got so much there potentially it's in overkill even vs +4's.  That said Ice/Dark is also very nasty.  Both are very solid performers.

 

     PS:  it's all that slow and recharge debuff that let's you get away from needing a self heal.  You just don't get attacked much meaning any defense and resistance you do have goes a lot further.  And Benumb is just nasty against hard targets.

Sounds like a good argument. But overall ice/cold would perform better in higher end content? 

 

Where would that compare to sonic/cold?

 

Would ice/dark perform better than water?

Ice is a top performer, and will perform better for ST damage, but not AoE.  

 

Water should perform just fine, unless you really want to min/max.  

 

Personally for regular encounters you'll want to skip fear and even tar.  I have like five Dark Miasmas and I don't have fearsome state on any of them.  It's really only for soloing, or crawling.

 

 

[WitchofDread]

Ideally I'm looking for a character to play all through the hardest content with some solo potential - hence fearsome.

 

I think I'm leaning towards 2 characters:

 

Ice/dark/dark corr

Sonic/cold/soul corr or dark/cold/stone troller - though I think the sonic/cold will likely net better results, maybe. Though I would prefer the troller.

 

[Sovera]

You have the reverse idea here (but pay attention that trite as it sounds having fun with the character will be more important than min max picks that don't click), Water is good AoE but mushy single target damage despite the mechanic you've mentioned, Ice is good single target damage (some of the best ST if using a build with tailored procs in the attacks) but its the AoE that is mushy (anecdotal, but I remember being turned off at throwing Blizzard + Ice Storm and seeing minions surviving. Which is -not- what I expected when dropping a nuke).

 

Rad is hurt by the long animations despite having good procs (unlike Ice which is mostly fast animations) but does not have any special benefits that I find important (I mean, it does lower defense on the target, but this is not something I find of use).

 

Things to consider: Water comes with a built-in heal so it lends itself to soloing and even taking down hard targets. This is more important when the secondary has no heal (such as /cold) but recouping HP simply by attacking has worth when doing more extreme soloing such as tackling AVs.

 

[Uun]

I played a Dark/Rad defender on live and play a Rad/Dark corruptor on HC. It's a pretty rare combination, but I find it to be very strong and a lot of fun.

In your experience why is cold better? Doubling down on -res? Access to -def? How do you manage without a self heal?

Cold gives decent defense, you need a lot of stacked defense. It also increases max hp. It refills endurance, and has pretty decent debuffing.

 

Personally I like my ice/dark/dark corruptor for most content, but for 4star hard mode I think cold has more use.

 

That said I was contemplating running the numbers on a potential sonic/cold, but to me it almost feels criminal to have a Corruptor with no rain power, but -res would be useful too and the devs just tweaked sonic blast with i4.

[WitchofDread]

@Sovera then perhaps neither water or ice is the best fit then.

 

In most cases I don't generally mind which blast set as I like most and could make them work. What I want is a character I can take through all the games aspects, so having powers that are beneficial to hard mode is important.

 

@SeraphimKensai

I'm curious how different sonic Blast is after the tweaks as it was previously better overall on a def.

 

It's one of those sets I enjoy conceptually but in practice it just doesn't perform well enough.

It's substantially better for all ATs. They added damage to Sirens Song and Screech. I've got a Poison/Sonic defender and the changes made a huge difference.

[WitchofDread]

I'm not sure how valid this is but i tested a dark/cold/stone vs 3 Pylons and got the following times: 02:15, 01:59, 02:12

 

i then tested a sonic/cold/soul and got the following: 04:05, 03:53, 04:15

 

All same incarnates.

How would elec Blast? I've not used it in years and I have seen many mixed opinions on it.

[Yaliw]

It's not terrible. People don't like it not having a hard single target attack and it's secondary effect is nigh useless. The voltaic sentinel is actually useful for action economy with /dark. This is because /dark demands a lot of attention and volty can attack while you are slowly casting your /dark powers.

 

It's not a great powerset but it's totally usable.

Erm, what? The changes made to Elec Blast recently, especially the addition of the shocked mechanic, has bumped Elec Blast up quite aways. I want to say that on... was it @Bopper's blast comparisons the new Elec Blast moved to like A-Tier?

 

One of @Voltak's top end HM defenders is an Elec/Elec Defender.

[Yaliw]

Ahh you see, I did not know about these changes. That's great to know that and I'll have to try it again!

You might find it worth your while. 🙂 I certainly found the set far more enjoyable to play and seeing Shocked! start flying around (alongside Scourge if you're a corruptor) gets to be quite fun. 

[WitchofDread]

May have to give making a build a try then!

[SeraphimKensai]

I have a dm/elec defender that uses provoke to tank and lead the charge so to speak when I use it. It works really well for my needs. I imagine a corruptor version of it would work out. Mine leans into the debilitating attacks between end drain and -tohit, -regen it makes for a very survivable toon.

[WitchofDread]

@SeraphimKensaisounds awesome, mind sharing the build?

I don't think I have a mids build for it unfortunately.

[WitchofDread]

So i have put together the following build:

 

38.8% ranged def - less than desirable!

75 S/L res - pretty good.

5.2s off perma hasten so with ageless it should be all good. End is tight without ageless as well!

 

If i drop Voltaic and take maneuvers, ranged def goes to 43% - which is better?

Fire/dark is one of my top tier corrs.  if only for rain+patch most of the time.

 

You can color everything radiationy, no ones ganna notice

[WitchofDread]

Yeah I'm sure. Fire is obviously top end dmg but just not my style.
