CornFollow3 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 The general consensus for farming is fire. I've been told this is true for Corrupters as well. But I cant help but ask why? Fire has Rain (which hits for 2 dmg) at 400% dmg using FS, Fireball, Inferno and that's it (I don't use cones). So that leaves you with 2 affective AoEs. Water has whirpool, water burst, and Geyser. Whirlpool does *8* dmg on each hit absolutely crushing rain with the same mechanics other than AoE size being a smidge smaller. Burst and geyser are pretty much the same. So I ask why people prefer fire over water? Am I missing something when it just comes to dmg output and farming? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uun Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 You're ignoring the frequency of the damage ticks. Rain of Fire does 1.1122 damage every 0.2 seconds for a total of 83.415 damage over its 15 second duration. Whirlpool does 2.9195 damage every 0.5 seconds for a total of 87.585 damage over its 15 second duration. https://cod.uberguy.net/html/power.html?power=pets.corruptor_rainoffire.rainoffire&at=minion_pets https://cod.uberguy.net/html/power.html?power=pets.whirlpool_corruptor.whirlpool&at=minion_pets Uuniverse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreah Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Rain of Fire is a good power; I couldn't imagine myself not taking it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Player2 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 I like a little fire and water together... sky fire, that is. 🌩️ Storm/Kinetic corruptor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oubliette_Red Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Take Fire and colour it like water, problem solved. Dislike certain sounds? Silence/Modify specific sounds. Looking for modified whole powerset sfx? Check out Michiyo's modder or Solerverse's thread. Got a punny character? You should share it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Game Master GM_GooglyMoogly Posted January 17 Game Master Share Posted January 17 One of my favorite things about this game is going counter to the meta and finding ways to make power set combos do things people say they can't. You go on with your bad self and be a farming Water/Kin! PS. Moved to Corrupter forums 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are the actual numbers in game before enhancements or buffs. If you're getting different results in AE, you're using different slotting or buffs. I have no idea what you mean by 0.8 sec. Rain of Fire ticks 5x per second for 15 seconds for 1.1122 damage per tick: 1.1122 x 5 x 15 = 83.415 Whirlpool ticks 2x per second for 15 seconds for 2.9195 per tick: 2.9195 x 2 x 15 = 87.585 Uuniverse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this solves my original question. Thank you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
