Can anyone tell me what the main differences between a Blaster and a Corrupter are? IE, differences in attack, defence, overall versatility, etc

well if memory serves.. 8P
Blasters are damage based. There secondaries are also damage based.
Corrupter are damage based. There secondaries are Buff/Debuff based
also the corrupters get a bigger bonus for the leadership pool. I think thats about it..

First off, welcome to the site dusk! I'm sure you'll find much evil goodness to your liking around here.
As far as the comparison, according to Jack, aka Statesman, the Corrupter should really be compared to the Defender AT from CoH.
Essentially, the corrupter has their power pools reversed from the defender, which is to say that their attacks are now their primary purpose (like a blaster), while defender like abilities (heals/buffs) are their secondaries.
I find that I like them quite a bit more than defenders 'cause the attacks are better, which is always fun. Since there is no 'healer' class in CoV per se, that duty is somewhat split beteeen the corrupter and Mastermind AT's.
Another way to look at it is that they are like blasters with heals....how can you go wrong with that?

I think a corrupter can solo better than a blaster because heals and debuffs are much better tan melee attacks when you are squishy. also the corruptor inherent power (scourge) is way better the the blaster one ( can't recall the name)

Defiance?
I think that the Blaster's Defiance power (multiplies the damage you do when you get lower in health) isn't as good as Scourge for Corrupters (do more damage as your enemy gets lower in health). I find that my enemies get lower in health than I do about 90% of the time I play any character.
Quite honestly, I feel that the Corrupter should be in CoH (under a different name, of course) and the Blaster should be in CoV. I mean, how many villains do you know that use healing powers? Seriously...
I could name about 20 characters off the top of my head that would be evil Blasters. And not one that heals.
I really wish my Blaster could be a bad guy. That'd be way better than being a silly "hero."

I have a L25 Blaster in COV and I am working on a Corrupter in COV currently L12.
It is allot easier to kill in quantities with the Corruptor. The Healing and power up options are useful in teams when you have lower levels than yourself.
I think a team without a corruptor would miss lots of out and out killing power, also the recharge rate can be enhanced so much that you never stop firing something, till you dry up that is.
At the moment my corruptor wins hands down for pure pleasure of attacking and surviving!

I am totally in love with the Corrupter AT. They would totally rock a Blaster's world (depending on the people playing them). The Leech is just one little powerhouse. Being an Energy/Kinetics Corruptor, the only downside is running out of end! I'll never need reds or greens as Kinetics supply those boosts for me. Travel powers are optional (only if i wanted a stable vertical/hovering power) as Speed boost/Inertial damp gives me 2 good combinations. What more can you want in a build? Oh, unlike my Eng/Eng blaster on CoH, I can get up close and personal with mobs and still come out on top.

I would just like to get in here how useless Defience is. The fact that it gives a damage/accuracy booost while being pummeled is good but once your healed or arent gettting hurt it goes away so in turn.... its uselss heh :) and plus no blaster will EVER be able to reach the end of that bar lol :D
EDIT: ok i did get to the end of that bar one time, i did a suidide jump from a building in steel with my blaster shockingmaddness anyway, i thought ok i hit, bar goes to full and i target something that is 3 or 4 levels higher than me, i was hoping for a stalker strikesk attack one shot kill, but no i hit him hard but he was still alive and of course i died right after that lol.
I have to agree that DEFIANCE is pretty crappy it might be worth more if the minute you start to take damage it kicks in and not like when ur down to 1/2 health or whatever it is as its set up currently.

i tottaly agree super. defiance should kick in way sooner, because once a blaster get into the red on health, its over anyway. what i dont get i how some blasters rely on it, and tell healers not to heal them. i think i would rather take longer to kill something than to die trying to do it fast

What about giving it a time delayed wear off... you get nailed to red and have a massive bonus that last for like 3 or 4 sec after you climb out, or add an inherent def bonus as well (after all defiance is that refusal to go down).

First off, welcome to the site Superfreaker!
Secondly, for everyone who wants to know a big difference between Blasters and Corruptors...it's the Alpha Strike. Blasters get Aim and Build Up. Corruptors don't get Build Up. So for an Alpha Strike, Blasters can do MASSIVE damage compared to Corruptors. (Aim + Build Up = 150% bonus to accuracy AND damage) When you hit 32, you'll get your "Nova" like attack as a Blaster. With Aim + Build Up + Nova Attack, it takes down large mobs of baddies pretty easily.

Corruptors requre a little more warm-up to get a real good alpha strike and then only certain power sets would get the really good boost. Dark and especially Kinetics would be able to do a better alpha than other corruptor types (Energy/Kinetics, for example could do Aim with Syphon Power and/or Fulcrum Shift). Damage, I imagine, would be huge!

As it goes its like this:
Blasters: They are damaged based, their secondary combinds different types of holds with physical attacks (almsot like a mini dominator 0_0)
Whereas the Corruper: Damaged based also, their secondary is mroe about debuffing and healing, as well as protecting allies.
Thata pretty much the difference between the two, Blasters are more for offence whereas corupptors make better teaming due to thier team buff/foe debuff.
