Water, water everywhere, but what AT you think?

[Marshal_General]

I am trying to decide between two different AT builds. One is basically an up in your face water/atomic blaster and the other is a blow off your face water/storm corrupter..

 

I have preliminary builds for each, but need to decide which one would work best.

Then find out what can be done to make that build better.

Then spend a day trying to find the perfect name.......

that isn't already taken.

 

The first build is the blaster build:

What do you think about each. Which one would work best in incarnate levels?

What can be done to make that build better?

and lastly,

Thanks for your time.

[Myrmidon]

Why not both?

Why not both?

I am already on my 3rd page of characters.

 

My problem with the corrupter version is lack of good single target damage compared to the blaster version.

[Myrmidon]

It sounds like Blaster is the answer that you seek.

[Heraclea]

To show off Water to its best advantage, make a Water/Willpower sentinel.  You'll need the endurance advantages Willpower gives you.  You will be as tough as you need to be, especially when you can reliably stay out of melee.  You get mezz protection that is solid and has no holes.

already ... or ONLY?

[Novacat]

Water makes the Sentinel shine most, as it exemplifies the differences between it and the other melees can't come close to: massive areas for its damage and effects compared to them, as the Sentinel won't quite make it to their level of single target slaying anyways.

However, those same advantages mean that Blaster is what makes Water shine most brilliantly, especially in large groups. Not only does it maximize the size and power of its torrential mass-"arrest" methods (higher target caps for most powers as well), but its even higher recovery rates (and a sentinel's are already pretty good) from a well slotted Sustain ensures those AoEs just keep raining down on your victims as well.

[Marshal_General]

I finally went with the blaster concept. I just got my sustain power and even without IOs yet, I am finding my splash splash splash can keep on flowing.
