Symphony/Marine - the Siren calls

[Ascawien]

I've been playing my Sym/Nat controller a little and every time I hear those powers go off I just think "Damn, this would pair so well thematically". I'm not so sure however, how well they'd actually do either on paper or in-game. Even if it just ends up being so-so I'd still love to give it a try. Could someone spare a little time to come up with a build worthy of the legendary Siren?

Symphony/Marine will require a lot of jousting because most of Symphony's powers are cones and Marine wants to get into melee with Whitecap.

Thank you for that. Whilst I'd be first to admit that I'm a total noob, I did have a feeling that they weren't intrinsically synergistic. I think I'll still give it a go and see how it feels as for me, theme a killer look trump everything else 😛

Some people like to make that sort of combo work. It's definitely a great concept for a siren character and it's not that it won't work, it's just worth noting that it will require a different sort of playstyle if you're more used to playing only exclusively melee/ranged. I have a couple of marine characters I joust with as I've just gotten used to that playstyle playing an Energy/Martial Blaster, MM's, and Doms.

 

My siren is currently a Symphony/Fire Dom, and if they ever manage to create a Water Assault set for doms, I'd probably convert her in a heartbeat, lol. I'm jealous I didn't think of doing a Symphony/Marine controller for a siren! It'll be interesting to see what you think of the combo after you play it.

I wouldn't get discouraged. In fact Marine has unique synergy with Symphony with the +Range from Power of the Depths, which gives you more cone coverage. Your opener will be Tide Pool ->Dreadful Discord -> Confounding Chant -> Whitecap, which thanks to procs should take care of the majority of the pack and make any further AoE cones unnecessary (you can use another AoE from your epic pool for cleanup).
