My advice on Ice/* corrupter, from playing a level 30 ice/cold is that its heavy on the endurance, even with 3 slotted stamina you need at least one endredux in each power even if you dont run a single toggle.
Secondly, its slow, and since you probably want 2 acc, 3 dam and that endredux in each attack so you cant slot for attack recharge, you're gonna need Hasten.

That said, the holds and slows you get from Ice/* would be very handy for PvP.
Ice is also a higher damaging set than Rad, and has two really nasty AoEs (Ice Storm and Blizzard) that work very well with Scourge.
Rad, as I understand it, is one of the lower-damage blast sets available. The -def effect in all its attacks is nice though, and it has a sniper attack unlike Ice.
Ice is probably the better set for PvP overall.
Thanks for your replies. I will make ice then, but it will be good with traps as secondary?

I wonder how much of this is assumption though. Cosmic burst for instance does more damage than its energy counterpart power burst, and cosmic burst is also 100% energy damage type as opposed to smash element in power burst. Just because blasters dont have rad set I suspect rad blast is underrated.
Im not a big friend of traps or devices so I better keep my mouth shut.
Sorry, I didn't mean to pan the Rad Blast set in general. I made a Rad/Kin Corruptor not long ago and am enjoying it.
I didn't mean to come off so harsh in my previous post, but Ice really is a better set for the Traps secondary and for PvP, no question.
I already enjoy my Ice/Traps, so here comes the next question, what powers i should avoid (traps).
Thanks in advance.
Time bomb and seeker drones, propably. Though im not speaking from experience.
Yep, 15 seconds for activate of the bomb is way too much, and seeker drones does not seem good to me. I also dont like Acid Mortar To be honest.

...Of course there's always AR.
Beanbag is an awesome power in PVP, but AR is more of a aoe set, so the single target damage isn't the best.

My mistake then. Don't always believe what you hear.
Hello everyone, today i decided to make a */traps corruptor ( Pvp ). The problem is that i am pretty new to the Corruptors traps and generally to corruptors. I am between Radiation and Ice as primary.
What i ask is some advise on what to choose. (advantages/disavantages too if possible)
Thanks in advance
