Morning!
My global handle is @Thilenium and my ingame characters start with or contain 'Thile' in their name - no exception. So far I have played and equipped about 20 characters. ten of which I took through the incarnate stuff. Others I 'swiped left'.
I like this build and it is probably the most balanced that I can find, fulfilling the roles of damage dealer, buffer, debuffer. All relatively uncomplicated. With a few minor changes it can be adapted as Defender which might be a better choice. Now you can make some of the roles more pronounced and or add the heal, but at the expense of something else. And I do not want a controller-like character, who has trouble doing solo content.
The build represents the current status of my gear and also my zillion hours of experience in improving and reviewing on character builds (tailored to my tastes - sure. and that is where we might not find common ground. but see for yourself).
all the best, Thilenium
Summary Corruptor (Ice Blast - Time Manipulation)
+ ok starting character

+ good damage and debuffs, single target
+ two damaging area of effect skills, not just one on a high cooldown
+ good sustained debuffs, area of effect
+ does not fall over when looked at (under g1)
+ relatively chill and smooth to play (7 buttons for about 95% of the content - using macros, see below)
+ utility for situational content
- feels like something is missing when playing solo

a) The role of a Corruptor
A corruptor is a ranged damage dealer, debuffer and supporter. When playing Corruptors solo, i have immediatly the urge to go back to a purer damage build. But in parties it is fun.
b) Time Manipulation as Secondary
A fire-and-forget Secondary for every Supporter who has access to it, also fits thematically. Decent party buffs. Also debuffs that work well with the primary, reducing Recharge/Movement Speed and Defenses/Resistances. Most of the important debuffs except for hit point regen and endurance regen (one can be solved with the Incarnate Interface buff).
c) Ice Blast as Primary
I liked this one the best because it has sustained solid single target damage and for that i usually need four skills. I would take a snipe skill as well, but even without it, it is ok. All the attacks here debuff Recharge, Movement Speed. you have a single target hold, that also does damage and the big area of effect has a great To-hit debuff build in. all of which is nice.
d) Utility through Power Pools
In the beginning I mentioned that there is also utility in this build.
+ You are flying!
+ This build (and 95% of my other builds) contains 'Invisibility' which helps with shortening missions. Find the target on the map, buff up right next to it and cancel the skill.
+ As it buffs the whole party, Leadership powers are never wrong.
e) Attack chains for single target and area of effect
I use only seven keyboard keys with macros (see below). '1' and '2' for single target, '3' for area debuffs, '4' and '5' for area of effects. 'Build up' when i require it.
f) Genesis Incarnate Power and helpful keybinds and macros
Genesis Incarnate Power:
Socket Core Flawless Genesis

g2) Mids DataChunk for the build
If you feel like even more buffing and debuffing this one has 'Power Build Up' in it which makes this builds buffs and debuffs even stronger and 'Burnout' so that you can reset the strongest skills. All at the expense of making you a little more fragile. >Untested!<
