Budget Dark/Thermal Corrupter for Duo - how's that build?

[Aeroprism]

Hello beautiful people.

 

I'm making this character to complement my friend's Shield/Fire tank.  This corruptor will not ever solo, always duo with said tanker.  The objective was to make a relatively functionnal complement without spending too much money so no purples, no Winters unless I end up falling in love with the character.

 

/Thermal was chosen to offer resistance to the already solid Def tanker.  Dark/ was chosen because... um... it looks fun?

 

The order in which I take the powers matters not much, my friend's tanker is already mid 30s so I'll be power-levelling this guy to somewhere around 32-35.

 

It's my first corruptor.  I'm not used to make builds for things that arent in melee so don't worry if there are really glaring mistakes in there. 

 

An inf for your toughts please, I'm open to any feedback, really, completely opened to ideas.  🙂

No purples, no winters, same power picks i dunno. Melt armr and heat exhaustion are your av killers you want acc+rech in those and as much recharge in the build as you can, without purples thats tough. When i play cone toons the shortest cone (in this case tentacles) is my range , there's a couple hammi's in there but they are probably the cheapest enhances in the build that match it to nightfall. Personally torrent would be my first pick and i'd drop dark blast for it purely because its soft control and can slot a force feedback+recharge which would fix a lot of problems, its a 1 click hit a mob and it'll fire off, i can't think of an instance where i've hit 8-9 enemies and it hasn't fired off. 

 

So i dumped all the melee defence to come up with this which is 1 luck insp from 45% ranged. If your only in melee for blackstar which will neuter enemies chances of hitting you and then hopping back out to ranged blast there's no reason for melee def when you have a tank. Which is why all the slots got ripped from forge-your only applying it once every 120 seconds to your partner, it doesnt even need the recharge i left in, you could move that or slot something else. 

 

I have no idea if this would work, i do have a dark/thermal but i haven't logged it on for a couple years and i took the fighting pool. What i do remember is the endurance issues. And how squishy it was.
