Help with Marine / Water Build

[Krosann]

Hey everyone,

 

Just started playing this game again for the first time since live and just hit 50 with my MA/WB Def. 

 

I am clueless and have no idea what I am doing, any build help would be greatly appreciated. 

 

Thanks

For Marine; look here and here.
Shoal Rush is about the only skippable power in the set, and even then it's not "bad"; simply not as good as the others.
Note that the heal (Soothing Wave) needs you to be facing the target(s) before you activate it in order to heal them reliably. There are binds that can help with this.
IMO the mechanics of "Shifting Tides" is the main thing to be aware of - see here. And also how Brine interacts with target HP - see here.
And then there's Whitecap... which ideally you'll want to slot in a very particular way - see here.

As for Water Blast... IIRC the typical attack chain these days is Water Jet [Regular] > Filler > Dehydrate > Hydro Blast > Water Jet [Instant] 
Depending on your filler blast timings + global recharge you could use Stream Spray in place of Dehydrate or stick another Hydro Blast in front of the Filler attack.
Geyser and Whirlpool are decent AoEs by themselves; but it might be worth picking up Thunder Strike from Electricity Mastery too (and proccing it up, similar to Whitecap).

Some discussion on the Corruptor version of the same combo is linked below (just ignore the bits about Scourge!)
