Rad/Kin Attempt

[The_Traveler]

Throwing my hat into the ring here.  Never really played Corruptors so looking for some feedback on an idea i had for a melee range centric dmg/buffer for generic content (TFs mostly) as im a casual player.   

 

highlights(i think)

• lots of pseudo defense with soft controls
• ok defense and S/L resist

 

Id like:

• hardy enough to stand in the fray...i dont mind if defenses are not capped, 30-35%ish would be fantastic (theres no DDR without incarnates and i dont mind using inspis) and looking for more energy resist if possible
• to increase slow resistance and status resists
• Reorder powers for better power bumps for exemping
• Xray Beam help?!  do i need 6 slots, 1 slot? its using the left over slots currently and id like to maximize it obviously
• to find that balance of dmg/survivalRadKin.mbd

• 4-6 slots is fine in X-Ray Beam. It's basically a filler in your attack chain.
• Transfusion requires accuracy. You may be OK with Tactics running, but I prefer slotting Touch of the Nictus.
• Irradiate requires accuracy.
• Proton Volley requires accuracy. 5-slot Sting of the Manticore for the 7.5% recharge bonus.
• Drop Aim for Siphon Power. Neither is really needed once you get Fulcrum Shift, but Siphon Power is useful for debuffing AVs.
• The Impervious Skin +regen bonus won't work in Increase Density. It needs to be in an active power. (The status resistance will work.)
• Split Superior Scourging Blast between 2 powers to double up on the 10% recharge bonus.
• Swap the chance for +end piece in Transference for the endmod/acc piece. This will give you more endurance than the proc and drain more from your target.
• Fulcrum Shift requires accuracy. Most slot 1 acc IO and 1-2 recharge IOs. Slotting Stereocilla is largely pointless, as the slow enhancement does nothing. 
• Oppressive Gloom requires accuracy. The procs slotted aren't useful. Just slot an acc/mezz HO in the base slot.
• Siphon Speed requires accuracy. It should be taken at lvl 10.

• i did swap to ToN and like it much better.  the end proc is pretty sweet also.  does that proc affect everyone healed by the power as well?

• Yeah, this was a toss up for me.  i figured Aim would pair nicely right before using Atomic Blast.  ill play around with both
• The Impervious Skin +regen bonus won't work in Increase Density. It needs to be in an active power. (The status resistance will work.)
• was mainly after the status resist
• Split Superior Scourging Blast between 2 powers to double up on the 10% recharge bonus.
• i like the set bonuses from 6 slotting (15% accuracy and 4% end recovery and 5% AOE defense) more than an extra 10% recharge.  seems like a net loss in this case
• Swap the chance for +end piece in Transference for the endmod/acc piece. This will give you more endurance than the proc and drain more from your target.
• Good call
• Fulcrum Shift requires accuracy. Most slot 1 acc IO and 1-2 recharge IOs. Slotting Stereocilla is largely pointless, as the slow enhancement does nothing. 
• I did swap this to 1 Acc and 1 Recharge... i dont see accuracy on this power in mids?!
• Oppressive Gloom requires accuracy. The procs slotted aren't useful. Just slot an acc/mezz HO in the base slot.
• is there a reason the procs are no good?  just that fact that its a toggle and only checks every 10 sec?
• Siphon Speed requires accuracy. It should be taken at lvl 10.
• Any particular reason is should be taken at 10?  i preferred to have SS on and use siphon speed late game against AVs and such.

 

in mids, the lowest accuracy is showing 154% on irradiate, while everything else is over 200%  is there a cap i should be targeting?

 

 

  i made it to 24 last night and it was a blast being in the thick of things.  siphon power seemed universally better at the lower levels than Aim would have been, so i think ill keep it at that.

You've got the Gaussian's BU proc toggled on in Tactics and the Decimation BU proc toggled on in Proton Volley, which is inflating your numbers a lot. Turning those off (keeping Tactics on), you're at 88% for Transfusion and Proton Volley, 81% for Irradiate, 95% for Transference and 73% for Oppressive Gloom and Siphon Speed (all against +3s). Also note that Tactics will go away if you exemp below lvl 27.

ToN doesn't have an end proc. I assume you're talking about the Theft of Essence proc. It only affects you.

If you're really after status resist, take the Aegis unique as it provides 20% vs. 7.5% for Impervious Skin. Note that both of these just reduce the duration of status effects but don't prevent them.

Display bug in Mid's. It's because Fulcrum Shift calls 2 subpowers. The initial call is autohit, but the subpower that debuffs your foes and buffs your allies requires accuracy.

The proc effects aren't very useful. A 7.5% tohit debuff with a 10s duration doesn't help you without other tohit debuffs to stack with it. An 8s mag 2 immobilize is pointless. On top of this, the Absolute Amazement proc has a 32% chance to fire every 10s and the Razzle Dazzle proc has a 25% chance, but both require a successful hit to fire. Without acc slotted, those chances decrease.

Siphon Speed doesn't suppress in combat, Super Speed does. It's really your preference, but I've always taken Siphon Speed as soon as it becomes available..

[Darkir]

So, I took out repel because I understand most people wont use it (even though I love it with the dk>kb and recharge proc). This is very tanky, should have enough +acc to not need acc in siphon speed and fulcrum shift (I cant find how to change mids base acc against +3s....I used to be able to change a box that set it base tohit to 48.....). Anyway, soft capped def, 65% s/l res, 157% global recharge (177% if you keep 2 stacks of siphon speed), perma hasten, and a nice -res proc in atomic blast. There are ways to keep softcapped def and use the purple confuse set, but I think this way comes out ahead for general play.

Works fine for me. Are you using Build Sharing/Import Data Chunk?

• didnt realize i had both build up procs on =/.  that certainly changes some of the calculus. i can certainly find a place for the kismet IO to help and i have considered moving tactics up for exemping.

 

ToN doesn't have an end proc. I assume you're talking about the Theft of Essence proc. It only affects you.

• i did mean ToE, and bummer it only affects self, still nice to get the heal for free when it procs, which helps with pre-transference content (which admittedly isnt much), but ToN may win out here like you suggested originally.

If you're really after status resist, take the Aegis unique as it provides 20% vs. 7.5% for Impervious Skin. Note that both of these just reduce the duration of status effects but don't prevent them. 

• this is already in increased density

• that makes sense.  i was just hoping to squeeze out some extra utility.  maybe ill keep the accuracy debuff and drop the immob and add an accuracy IO

 

Siphon Speed doesn't suppress in combat, Super Speed does. It's really your preference, but I've always taken Siphon Speed as soon as it becomes available..

• ill keep that in mind.  i dont mind running slower during combat at the lower levels, but i do miss the 20% recharge.  i just hate spamming it to keep it going when id rather be buffing/damaging

 

 

adding ToN to transfusion and kismet brought irradiates accuracy up to 95% on +3 and 86% on +4 (over 100% on everything else).  i think im comfortable there, for now anyway.  ill see how it plays ( i just hit 36 last night and its really coming together nicely).  i predominantly run TFs so i feel like i dont need to be 100% self reliant as many of the gaps get closed by others on the team.  KB was a pain against the Council during Citadel, so thats something i think im going to plug.
