Dual Pistols/Kinetics/Mace - S/L SoftCap

[sausage_toes]

Looking for input on a new corruptor.  Are there any powers I overlooked that are must haves?  Is there a better way to get to the S/L softcap.  Is it worth it to SoftCap anymore?

Ol Dead Eye- Corruptor (Dual Pistol) Kin Mace SL Softcap.mbd

Edited February 1 by sausage_toes

I found it easier to get Positional caps over Typed. That also lets you pick the Epic of your choice rather than having to go with Mace for Scorpion Shield. I'm 44.9% melee and 39.58% ranged def ingame alongside 66% S/L resists.

 

Some tips : 

• You're a Kin. You'll be capping your own damage. So you can easily underslot the AoEs for damage (Empty Clips and Bullet Rain). Your Damage Cap is +400% and slotting is included in that. So essentially if you can keep the Fulc Shifts going and stay at ~340 or more those AoEs are still at the cap. It'll drop off for AV battles but you don't use those in AV battles (I usually just focus on Fulc, Siphon Power, Transfusion and Transference and lob the odd shot in).
• Ditto for Assault. (and Musculature Alpha). You don't need them. You won't be at cap in an AV fight but you can still easily maintain a 250% damage bonus. 
• Always split Scourging Blast 3+3 across 2 powers, that gives you two +10% recharge bonuses. 
• Forced Feedbacks in the two AoEs are great for gets lots of little jolts of +recharge (Empty Clips and Bullet Rain)
• Remember you can take powers earlier now in CoH. Tier 8 Primary opens at 22 rather than 26. Tier 9 at 26. Tier 8 Secondary at 28 and Tier 9 at 30. Take them as early as you can. Yin with a Nuke & Fulc Shift is silly. 
• I went Dark Mastery because Oblits are great for recharge + Melee Def and having two additional PBAoEs is great, but Soul Drain is changing with the next patch so I'll probably need to rejig (depending on what sets it'll take). 
• Also having Dark Consumption + Transference (an Acc is enough) means I don't need to worry too much about End. I'll just siphon it off someone.  2 Performance Shifters in Stamina and Pancea in Health is plenty. 
• 5 Superior Avalanche in Hail of Bullets, including the Chance to Knockdown is godly. Purple proc in the 6th slot. 
• Somehow I get away with not slotting Tranfusion with Accuracy and can still happily heal away (34%  Acc from Set Bonuses is probably the reason)
• The P2W temp power can give you 5% more Defense and 7.5% more resists (Defense Amplifier. 2.5 million per active hour at 50 but can be worth it, as you approach Def softcap every % gain is more and more worthwhile). Buy 8 hours of all of these at Level 1 cos they're dirt cheap. 
• Hybrid Support also grants + Def so layer that in if you like. 

 

This is one of my favourite builds. Objective is always "Race the Tank into the spawn, Fulc shift, nuke". Be ultra aggressive because you have the defenses + heals to survive most things. Nemesis and the like can get annoying but you'll learn what you can get away with.
