Voltak's Ice/Cold Corruptor, tested, proven, reliable for all PVE content

[Voltak]

Responding to my inbox, and I meant to do this a LOOONG time ago but 

1) Busy
2) Mids on my Mac was out of commission 
3) Further problems with new OS for Mac issues 
4) Real life issues, so more busy 

Here, and finally 

Ok, so build has been tested and it passed the hard mode tests 

TWO (2) Star ITF , 3 man team   

Two (2) Star AEON, 3 man team 

Four Star ITF in UNDER 30 mins 

Three man team Market Crash , no insps, no temps, no deaths 

Two-Man (2) team  MASTER ITF (no incarnates), no insps, no deaths, no temps

NOtes -- this build is meant to be for a bit of self sufficiency , meaning, I placed enough range defenses, resists, and recharge, to be able to not rely so much on the buffs from others if there are any gaps or downtime or team splits and other contingencies.  
Also meant for very small teams where you don't enjoy many buffs at all. 

You can use this to solo the general  content of the game 

There are other builds with tons more procs and way more offensive and less defensive , but that's counting vastly on the team to hold you up, or they are for specialized team make ups.  

I am not including those here.

@Voltak Loving this build (and your others btw)!!

 

Just wondering what incarnates you went with.  Kinda up in the air at this point how I feel about them.

Reactive --

I have both --  Degen and the one that gives resistance debuff.  Both are extremely useful

Destiny --  Barrier (now I have both, with Rez and without Rez) 

Alpha - End Modifier, Defense, recharge 

B P -- for the Lore , because of the greater resistance debuff to cold damage

So I am guessing Assault on Hybrid and Ion or Pyronic on Judgment?

for the Hybrid I always go for the one that does double dmg 
In the end you will do more dmg than the other option
Kins are everywhere and they will nullify the other option 

Pyro is very good and so is ION

So I have a question about this build - is Heat Loss worth taking?  In your build it's up every 100s.  Do you find the -res and/or the team End gain to be useful often?

 

I was just running around on an old Ninja/Cold MM and noticed his build didn't have Heat Loss and wondered if past me had incorrectly written the T9 off

Heat Loss is nigh perma in this build. 
Heat loss is an important debuff 
Also, the endurance buff is ENORMOUS for anyone in range.

I've seen comments about Heat Loss being optional but for all of my /Cold AT's, it's at least as useful for the massive +END as it is for the AoE -RES...which isn't small!

 

For a lvl 50 corrupter the -RES from Sleet is -30%.  But Heat Loss is another -24% and it STACKS with Sleet!  

 

If you have any other -RES procs in the mix (I have both an Achille's Heel in Infrigidate and then a Fury of the Gladiator -RES in Soul Drain in my Ice/Cold build....and Soul Drain is also nigh perma), you are literally turning the foes into paper targets.  Oh and +1 for the BP Lore Pet for the additional -RES from their sleet.

 

It's sort of how some /Dark users forget that Howling Twilight isn't just a situational rez, but a massive (-500%????) Regen debuff on targets it hits.  

 

I consider Heat Loss to be one of the foundational powers of the set.

+1 to the above

Heat Loss delivers what you would expect from a t9.  And it isn't just +endurance it's also a +recovery buff.  Hit 4 foes and you've just buffed yourself (and teammates) the equivalent of an unhanced Recovery Aura for +recovery and will compete quite handily with being effected by Transference.  Even the most end heavy build is going to have trouble exhausting its endurance bar in the 10 sec of downtime in @Voltak's build.

This build looks like a lot of fun! 

 

When you are posting about completing things as a duo or trio, what are the other ATs and builds your teammates are running with out of curiosity?

 Among the vast number of hard mode challenges we have done in very small teams like Duos or Trios, we have done --->

We did an ITF 2 Star (Hard Mode) 

It was a trio with this specific make up

Fire/Cold Corruptor (Raw)

Ice/Cold Corruptor  (Voltak)

Fire/Kin Corruptor  (Fubar) 
_

We have done many other challenges with different toons or  power sets

Wondering how your builds will fare with the large nerf coming to Soul Drain?  I count on that for almost all my Corruptor builds and I’m sure many others do too.

[Heldebraun]

Sorry to necro this thread @Voltak, but curious how transferable this build would be for Fire/Cold corruptor at the current time. Would this be an easy transition from Ice/Cold to Fire/Cold and relevant given any changes made since the post? If not, would you happen to have a Fire/Cold corruptor build you'd endorse?

 

Thanks!
