Now, the guides confuse me a bit because they are all I5 or I6 and as far as I understood we're over I7.

We are actually still on issue 6. For advice on Radiation I'd recommend giving Irradiators Guide and comments thread here a read.
I've had a bit of experiance with sonic attacks. Anything in particular you wanted to know?
We are on Issue 6, however people are talking about Issue 7 which should hit in the next 2 months.
I have a level 17 Rad/Archery who I am currently levelling up. I've mainly been soloing.
Rad is great for debuffs which mean the enemies you fight are much less powerful, there is a good rad/rad guide by Irradiator in the Player guides section.
I would get Radiation Infection first it makes enemies in it's area much easier to hit and make them have reaal problems hitting you. Slot it up with 3 or 4 slots, initially end reduction, then move to to hit debuff when you get DO enhancements at level 12+.
Also get Accelerate Metabolism pretty early too, it gives a damage buff and increase recovery to all in the area effect. With 6 slots of DOs ( and Hasten from the speed pool ) you get it most of the time. With 2 of these you will find life MUCH easier both from a damage and an endurance standpoint.
Another worthwhile power is Enervating Field ( makes enemies less resistant and do less damage ). This sucks endurance quite heavily but is useable even at low level with 3 slots of end reduction.
The heal ( Radiant Aura ) is not great, it costs a lot of endurance for not much healing, I barely use it but it is probably worth getting.
I can't advise on Sonic unfortunately.
@Unthing ... Mostly on Union.
Duo of rad/son? You can take RI at 1, AM at 2, Howl at 4 and EF at 6, and you're set. You could level from 6 to 50 not going to a trainer anymore.
Mr T pities the fool that tries to get in the way of two rad defenders.
Shameless plug for my guide, it should be of some help. I can imagine a rad/sonic duo being really nasty.

All that -res............. sounds nice. I wonder if I'd have made Schro a rad/sonic if it was around in I3....... maybe I would have

Me and friend decided to make a duo, twin chars, same story, powers etc.
At first I went with blaster with sonic and energy but I was advised to try rad/* defender. As it came I hadn't tried one of these yet there we went and made them : defenders with rad/sonic. I rarely see sonic anyway, it has Disorient and seems nifty with the debuff, but in any rate I reckon anything would serve, it's mostly for flavour IMO.
Now, the guides confuse me a bit because they are all I5 or I6 and as far as I understood we're over I7.
What would it be of diferent? Any tips on how to slot things? Both me and my friend are newbies, none with a character above 14.
My thanks
