If you post your build chunk or a datalink we'll be able to give you more detailed feedback

To respond to your points in general though:

You don't need a great deal of accuracy because Rad has -defense. I'd aim for about 2 SOs worth (60-70%) in the powers with a tohit check. That combined with set bonus accuracy and the -def from your blasts should be plenty. If you need tohit in a pinch there's always Aim.

I'd still recommend Neutrino Bolt over X-Ray at high levels of recharge, unless you really dig the eye-lasers animation. The reason is that NBolt recharges and animates so fast, you can proc it out to be really nasty.

Not counting the Apocalypse proc, you can put 3 damage procs in it, 4 procs total if you include the Achilles Heel -res proc. That and 2 acc/dam HOs or IOs makes it a very effective machinegunning power.

I'd reconsider Irradiate too, but that's again personal preference. I like the additional AoE and it has absolutely massive -defense. It's pretty much the best source of AoE -def in Rad, which makes it a great place for the Achilles proc. Dark Miasma does lend itself more to range than melee, but it provides more than enough debuffing power to keep you safe as you hop in to use Irradiate.

Other than that, if you post your build I'd be happy to take a look in more detail. Hope that helps.

All this talk of PB/PBU is interesting. I first assumed I'd be going with Scorpion Shield to softcap s/l but now it seems I'll have to play around in Mids and see what I can come up with.

I'd probably be going with Soul Mastery though rather than Power Mastery. It wouldn't be possible to get Soul Drain perma because the Soul Mastery version has a 240s recharge (Dark Mastery version is 120s) but you can still get good uptime. The other advantage is that PB recharges much faster than PBU, so it'll be easier to synch up Farsight/PB.

I dunno how fiddly it'd be to have to hit PB before Farsight, definitely gotta play with the build in Mids. If I can get the levels of recharge, hp and recovery I want with the PB-Farsight route, that's probably what I'll go with.

Only time and Mids will tell, heh.

No thanks to the Decoys, who attempted a coup during the Hamidon fight.

What's also worth noting is, if you do a lot of endgame TFs/SFs/Trials, Scourge adds a tremendous amount of damage. Its overkill most of the time on minions/lts, but does terrific damage on targets with a lot of health like AVs and GMs.

As a matter of personal preference, the only sets I'd go Defender over Corruptor for are Empathy and Sonic Blast. The former because Corrs can't have it and the latter because the debuff values on the blasts are so insane with Defender mods.

As for the idea that Defenders buff more, I disagree. I expect the same of any Corruptor or Defender, that they support the team and blast. Any Corruptor or Defender worth a damn does both.

With the new AoE buff changes, its trivially easy to keep an entire team SBed/shielded. If you're playing with a Corruptor who doesn't support the team, you're playing with a bad Corruptor. Much like if you're playing with a Defender who doesn't blast, you're playing with a bad Defender.

In almost all cases, Corruptors won't blow Defenders out of the water damage wise. Similarly, Defenders won't blow Corruptors out of the water buff/debuff wise. If you want to be more offensive, make a Corruptor. If you want to be more supporty, make a Defender.

Good god.

Fire/Rad or Fire/Dark Corruptor.

ITT: bad teammates

Guessing that's a reference, I don't know what to though!

Less obscurity indeed :3

The End.

Nowadays I call her by a version of her first name.

When I was older, just mum.
