AR/Rad

I'm toying with playing an AR/Rad Corruptor but I'm a bit concerned over AR's higher level efficacy. Having levelled an AR blaster to 50 I found the levels from 40 + quite rough as few mobs by that point aren't resistant to smashing AND lethal damage. Is it pretty much the same story redside? Would Rad help even it out?

Rad and Scourge ought to help even it out. Speaking from gut feeling, not experience.

Scourging several mobs at a time with Full Auto sounds fun if only for a screenful of both numbers AND text.

I've heard they rock, probably because if you take hasten and AM your powers will recharge uber quick. I haven't actually gotten mine high enough to test that though.

Which would you recommend then, Thermal or Rad?

Definitely rad. My own AR/Thermal bored the pants off me

How come?

Thermal is one of those support sets that have a bunch of buffs and a single target heal in them, which means half of the powerset is useless to you when soloing.

Unless you're level 47+ and have a patron pet.

Ahhhh, fair point Thanks guys

I am inspired to make an AR/rad myself now.

I really want an archery/radiation corruptor for the delights of a fast recharging, scourging rain of arrows onto a patch of debuffed enemies, but the similar nuke-light of full auto should work just as well, despite the longer rooting.

But this should be a fun combo, and i see much synergy as long as you are careful about the knockbacks.

I wanted to make one once, but the concept I had in mind would've required me to be at least level 35 for it to work.

Nemesis Soldier. Some combination of a Roman helmet and other face details, with a jacket (or, well overall Nemesis-soldier type outfit) and epaulets. And Nemesis Rifle.
The /Rad bit seems to fit since half the Nemesis mobs seem to attack you with some green smoke. Meh.

@col: i don't see your problem.
let your character get experiences over time. means: to the beginning he is only a small radiactive man with rifle later he gets more skills and is member of the nemesis and at least he got a spy in the roman zone
