There shouldn't be any rules like that or it'd be pretty stupid.

Boy you be hatinnnn!

We suggested the same thing and you take his words over mine?

I will go *wrist* now :[

Yes, a Corruptor's version is just as good. Sure, the debuffs are a bit stronger on a Defender but lets look at the numbers. I wont list everything, just relevant data.

DEFENDER:
Radiation Infection: -31.3% def, -31.3% tohit
Accelerated Metabolism: +25% dmg, +30% recharge
Enervating Field: -30% res, -25% dmg
Lingering Radiation: -500% regen, -75% recharge
EM Pulse: -1000% regen

CORRUPTOR:
Radiation Infection: -25% def, -25% tohit
Accelerated Metabolism: +20% dmg, +30% recharge
Enervating Field: -22.5% res, -20% dmg
Lingering Radiation: -500% regen, -75% recharge
EM Pulse: -1000% regen

Now, Corruptor has a higher base damage and have access to Scourge. Granted, Scourge isn't going to happen often until your target's HP goes below 50%, but it's still useful. From the numbers above, you can see that the Defender's version is pretty much 5% stronger than the Corruptor's version. However, Lingering Radiation and EM Pulse are the same for both Archetypes and -regen is what you want for taking down AV's anyhow.

If anything, I would say that the Corruptor's version is a bit better. Being able to Scourge and deal 2x more damage is much better than being 5% ahead in the debuff department anyday.

Also, are you dead set on Sonic? If you do go Corruptor, I would say Fire is a better choice overall. The -15%res from each of sonic's attacks are nice but so is the raw damage from Fire. Fire also has a snipe which is actually pretty useful. It's got a long activation time but it pretty much does 2x the damage of Shout, the strongest power in Sonic.

You probably feel this way because Elec/ is Energy/Smash, just like Energy Melee. Elec Melee is pretty much Energy Melee, except more focused on AoE.

Go ahead and tell us more. What other options do you have?

I wouldn't say Regen DESTROYS a WP, but I do agree with the fact that regen has more potential to do better in the hands of experienced players...or in the hands of someone with tons of influence...BUT ANYHOW.

A simple example of how Regen can benefit more is by simply adding more global recharge. Since pretty much all of Regen's powers are click-able's, more recharge would mean they'll be up more often. Regen as a whole benefits a lot from global +recharge whereas WP isn't going to benefit anything from global +recharge...even its tier9 suggests so :P

Of course, WP can make an argument for getting more global +res as well as global +def, but Regen still seems like it'll pull ahead just because BOTH primary and secondary will benefit from global +recharge whereas WP will have to chose between +recharge or +def/+res.

That's right.

Yea, I don't mind what anyone does as long as we roll with 2x damage auras :]

That being said, I'm sure aside from just standing there and letting mobs drop, the most we'll probably have to do is Spine Burst + Throw Spines and everything else should be down as well.

WOA. Rule #1 about the fight club is that you NEVER talk about the fight club outside of the fight club.

If you can find anything that has 2 damage auras then it'll work :]
For example, if you want to go with a /Fire Blaster for both Hot Feet + Fiery Aura then that would work. However, 1 damage aura with a ton of procs in it isn't going to pass :P

Definitely go with Controllers. You'll heal a bit less but your primary will ensure better team-support.

Yea, I'm really not.

By the way, if you put your henchmen on bodyguard mode and then use Share Pain, will the damage be split between you and your henchmen?
