A good primary for a /Dark corruptor?

[Razorcat]

I would like to play a Corruptor with Dark as secondary cause i love the Dark Servant, but I'm not sure about the primary powerset i should take

 

I priorize style over effectiveness, but i don't want an useless character ofc

 

And i like having many pets, so i was even considering an Electric / Dark Corruptor

My first thought was DP/Dark or Fire/Dark. DP's animations are stylish, and you can choose a secondary effect with Swap Ammo. Fire is more effective (Tar Patch+RoF+Inferno+Fireball NEVER got old).

 

 Then I read your statement "I like having many pets"....have you thought about a /Dark MM?

[Razorcat]

I have a DP / Pain defender, and a Dark/Super Reflex sentinel

So i didn't thought at either Dark or DP as primary 

 

MM are cool, i have a Robot MM, but with any MM the pets take most of your attention, and i would prefer a character more indipendent, able to deal damage on his own.

Anyway at high level, it will have a pet from the patron power pool, and the pets from the lore incarnate slot

I've played a Rad/Dark corruptor since HC launched and played a Dark/Rad defender for many years on live. It's a pretty rare combo but it's a lot of fun and very effective. You can recolor Rad blast to match whatever concept you have.

Ice for fully ranged.  Fire for instant gratification.  Dark for theme and stacking debuffs, extra heal…

Storm Blast also pairs nicely with /Dark

thanks, i've tried a fire and at low level seems fine

 

ice would be fully ranged? like what?

something like this, or you could pack it differently.  but it will always be 99% ranged.

Agreed... and Rain Powers + Tar Patch =  Joy!

Rain is a power that i don't like graphically, fire already has 3 aoe damage powers that I'm going to take, plus I'll have to take one from the Parton powerset to gain a pet. So, I'm not sure i want to take another attack.

FWIW Whirlpool (Water Blast) is for all intents and purposes a Rain Power; and as such behaves very nicely with Tar Patch + Scourge... but it looks much nicer graphically.
