Dark/Cold Corruptor build review

[MisterControl]

Just would like a review and possible tweaks I could make to improve this build. I'm level 30 right now, but plan on being 50 pretty soon.

I'm also not sure about Dark as my Epic pool.

I haven't looked at your build as I'm at work currently and don't have mids in my office. That said I have a lot of experience with cold, and some experience with dark blast.

 

With cold, I would lean into recharge for stacking sleet, and ample use of benumb/heat loss. On a corruptor I find it hard to pick any epic besides dark, because of building for perma Soul Drain.

 

Pairing Dark Pit with Oppressive Gloom, you can insta stun bosses in melee, so there's another reason for dark mastery. Dark blast gives you a self heal, and the tohitdebuff helps reduce incoming damage not only to you but also your whole team.

 

I'll try to remember to look at the build later after my kid's bedtime.

• Swap some of the damage and recharge in Tenebrous Tentacles for range and procs. It's a crap power for straight up damage.
• Slotting Combat Jumping for defense doesn't yield much. I would move at least one of those slots to Arctic Fog. 
• In addition to defense, slot Arctic Fog for damage resistance. 
• With Heat Loss, Victory Rush is superfluous. Take Vengeance instead.
• Slotting Sleet with Pacing of the Turtle is a terrible choice. You want to maximize the recharge. Enhancing the slow doesn't do much for you. I either slot 2x recharge IOs or 3-4 pieces of a defense debuff set. Redeploy the other slots to your shields or Infrigidate (for procs).

Thank you both for the suggestions and tidbits!

I will make adjustments!

Heh, I just happened to throw together a Build recently. Maybe you or anyone else could use some inspiration from it.
