Hello,
Ive heard that should be the best set combination for a pvp corrupter, think u need to build it correctly...
IMO, i don like much /rad, but its just an opinion... I would go better for a /kin, /thermal or /dark, but thats just my opinion...
Bout the builder, see here
Mmm, thanks a lot! ^^
Actually, the truth is: I already have a lvl 21 Ice/Rad corruptor, but I haven't played him for SO long! I don't even remember his skills, or the server he is on.. :P
I basically don't remember anything about him (except his costumes :P). That's why I wanted to builder- so I can remember what Ice/Rad is before I resubscribe ^^
And again, thanks a million! ^^
-more opinions will be welcome!~
[color=dodgerblue] Also you can open it with CoH open because on my computer at least it doesnt take up too much PF usage, great for planning respecs.
its a nice combo.. actually anything /rad is nice 
have to disagree with it being best combo in PvP though, for PvP I think I'd rather go /kin, /cold or /dark
however like I said, especially with the AV buffs ice/rad is a very powerful combo

Ice/Rad is easily very very powerful for PvP.
Kinetics may have the advantage of 'Woo look i can do slightly more damage!' but with the Rad debuffs you'll be able to hit, not get hit, do more damage, and take less damage. Sorted.
In PvE, rad is safer but kin does more damage, so it really depends on your playstyle.
For PvP, rad will probably be better in duels and kin in teams.

Since when is kin safer except that you gotta be close for the heal which is huge anyway.
Rad is an aggro hog while only fullcrum shift is from kin. And if you do that right your enemies won't live long anyway. Maybe for radiation infection indeed but I found that more usefull in pvp then pve.

Never_Ending, I think you need to read my post more carefully. I said rad was safer because of the debuffs.

Again, not sure what your point is. As I said, kin does more damage (Fulcrum), but you also have to be in melee more often (hence riskier). Rad Infection not useful in PvE??? I beg to differ, that's more than a 35% accuracy debuff for a corruptor.

I read it right but replied wrong..should have been since when is kin more dangerous:P..
like I said the heals are so redicilous good that getting close aint to bad except for pvp maybe
I answered question 2 at once with that (its just not risky imo). And I said MORE usefull in pvp...RI is still one of the number 1 powers I pick as a rad for a pve build
I guess its all about your playstyle:P

Fair enough . I just found that I died a lot more with my kin on the way to 50 than with my rad. With Transfusion / Transference / Fulcrum, you are in melee a lot, and tend to take more risks (at least I did 
). And if that heal happens to miss... well you're in trouble. While rad has 3 serious debuffs that tend to make your life a bit safer. Again, depends on playstyle .

and prim set..seeing as you have an illu 2 you know the tactic..:P
Throw your pa in wait till they get aggro then run in with fullcrum throw a heal in if you got aggro and after that your phant does the rest (200/250 aoe damage...yes please)
but since this is about ice blast..yeah rad is probaly safer then..tho I think clicks are easier if you are blasting instead of managing toggles..(for an aoe corruptor I would take rad tho:P) ...oh *bleep* it^^...
anyway choose what you want..both greats sets..both best sets 2
Hi there :P. I'm thinking about making an Ice/Rad corruptor. What is your idea about him? I've heard Ice is very good for solo, and Rad is very good for survivabilty and teamwork.
Does any of you play one? Have you have seen one at work? What did/do you think?
P.s.
Another, rather off-topic question: do you guys happen to know about a character builder program for CoV/CoH? I remember I had one around, but I guess it got deleted when I cleaned my comp ><.
-Thanks a lot in advance ^^.
