Thermal/Elec: Defender or Corruptor?

[One IV All]

Was going through some combos and I feel like I have a pretty good concept for this one. Additionally, it seems like it’ll be a very good “Jack of all trades” combo that could even do well in the HM/Aeon content.

 

That being said, idk if I should run this one on a Defender or a Corruptor. Does anyone have suggestions/the positives of running it on one archetype over the other? Thanks!

Shields, heals, buffs, debuffs and end drain are all stronger on a defender. Corruptor will do more damage.

Makes sense. As I’m looking to support more, I’m leaning towards Defender.

This looks really good, thank you!

[Meknomancer]

I dont see the 2nd best power in the set in that build. Did you skip short circuit by accident? If you hit a mob with the nuke then SC they cant recover. They cant recover they cant attack.

No melt armour too. 2nd best power in thermal set.

Mines not so team friendly 😛
