1. Therm's debuffs arn't toggles. Toggles drain end btw
2. Therm has 2 debuffs that cover pretty much everything. They are not PBAoE like most of Rads crap.
3. Therm also has buffs in shields, heals, thaw and Forge.
Also Heat Ex is way better than Lingering Rad.
HE -DMG, -END, -RECOVERY, -REGEN.
LR -Speed, -Recharge, -Regen
If you wanna add all of Rad's debuffs together then yes they are better than Heat Ex & Melt Armor but thats 5 powers vs 2.
And I'd still take a Therm vs a Rad with HE on them Rad will have little to no time to use their toggle debuffs.
Not to mentoin you have to retoggle every 15 sec because mezzes drop them.
Umm true, often probably u haven't time for two 3 sec cast debuff.
And about Rad Blast? Why sonic is better? Rad blast is faster, has more range and highter debuff (-20 res , sonic is -15 def).
And i still don't understand if debuffs stuck.
I mean i hit my foe 2 times with sonic for exaple, he'll be at -30 def?
If this is.. rad sounds better.. Neutrino bolt has 1,5 sec recharge.. whith ios u can spam it...
Or not? (I really hope i don't understand anything about this too 
).
It's the other way around, Sonic is -Res and Rad is -Def.
Im starting to think that alex lives under a bridge.
Why "a bridge" ?
Jesus christ...
I think I've seen Alexandros post in another thread that he's from a different country...so he may not catch all of the witty over Americanized humor.

It means that you don't get out much, or you just don't pvp much in this case.
I thought it was a reference to a "troll" bridge.

I took it as meaning he doesn't PvP much...but thats kinda obvious since in the original post, he said he just came back to the game. Sounds like the guy is honestly looking for advice on /rad vs /therm and sonic/ vs radiation/ and the PvP mechanics behind them. Not sure how that could be considered trolling.

The guy is in rv almost everyday running his mouth. He had another post about how fighting was better than jumping but if you look at his build its pretty much a cookie cutter of what any pvper would make, I would definetly saw he is trolling.
Duel me.
I will work on my sig pic more when I have time.
Unless he's referring to the Proc that will be perma'd due to it being in several places...but that's just a saving face guess...I could jump the bandwagon and beat the foreign destrier down.
And as far as the debuffs adding up as in -15% res + -15% res =/= -30% res. Cause resistance automatically resists resistance debuffs.

Yes i thought fight pool was better than leaping, and so?
I was playing from 2 weeks , the corr fom 3 days and i thought that.
Now let me understand, can i ask when i don't understand or misunderstand a thing or not? Or if u ask u are a troll ?
And when u answer me,if u answer me, explain WHY!
Couse i'm not intresting in what u thing or what another guy think... i want to understand.
SO if i ask is better rad or sonic u answer : is better XXXX because ..explanation..
Or simply don't reply.
Rad is better IMO thanks to procing and -Def, the stun from CB is sexy too...YMMV
Sonic hits like a truck, lowers resistance to allow for more damage when stacking and takes procs, but compared to Radiation...it roots some. Radiation is extremely fast, can be loaded with procs, but is not as heavy of a hitter as Sonic overall.

eh, actually against a high defense opponent, even one simply running rock armor from the troller patron or scorpion shield, you're gonna get enough dodges on a sonic (lolsmashing damage) to make it so that rad does more damage, as it will consistently hit through high defense. this remains constant unless you have a sick defense debuff like infridg+sleet. and even on a rad/rad i don't think RI will cut it by itself.
and then go ahead and factor in melees... rad rips through melee like nothing else, play no dr and it's just not fair. it will rip through good tanks EASILY.

I agree; if you're doing arena/duels...this can be the case. Not everyone you fight though is going to have that high defense factor.

Well so,my first choise when i come back to game 1m ago was a spines/ regen stalker : Orrible.
So few damage, so boring game play...
So i rolled a Sonic/Therm Corruptor. Nice toon, really funny.
I'm playing it a lot, made 200 pvp points in 3 days, i'm making all accolades and i'm quite happy from its.
Well, tooday i was tinking to an arena spec (for the future cause right now i haven't money and mates for play that) and i opened the builder.
Casuality wants i sow Raadiation emission powers' desctipions...
And well, now i'm sad
What makes thermal so good? Heat Exhaustion and melt Armor, right?
Well, rad has Radiation infection and Enervating Field : quite same effect of melt armor (better) and faster recharge ( 8 sec both vs 150).
And Lingering radiation : 10 second duration less than HE, but 30 sec faster in recharge.
So i' thinking... what thermal is used for? Rad is better at all.
Now.. course i don't roll another toon, mine is quite good anyway, but i'm sad.
(And now i'm watching rad blast.. it also seems better than sonic.. but about this i'm not still sure).
