rad/dark/soul help

Hi all

I've been set on building a rad/dark/soul corr for a while and I'm loving it so far, but seeing as I don't really play corrs that much are there some people willing to post their builds to get a general idea? Also what io bonuses should I aim for? I don't think defense is the most urgent one since I got darkest night etc?

edit: I'm considering skipping aim and the lvl 32 nuke - is this a bad idea or should be able to manage without both? (Seeing rad gives -def & loads of it, and the nuke might actually just slow me down)

I have a dark/rad/dark defender which should play pretty much equally to your corruptor.

Before you wade into playing I should probably warn you about the two downsides of Rad/Dark. One: your single target damage won't be too great. Scourge will help you, though, I guess. Second: your blue bar will be strained.

With that done, let's get to set bonuses. First off you should find sets that increase your Recovery or Endurance bar. If you haven't got any End left to use your other bonuses won't be of much use. After that I'd concentrate on Recharge and Defense, I have 20-25% Defense to all positions on my Defender and she's pretty much untouchable what with the PBAoE Stun Aura, Darkest Night, Fluffy and Fearsome Stare.

It's definitely a fun combo, and I urge you to skip the cone attack in Rad Blast. While it does nice damage, I find myself in melee most of the time and don't want to hop out constantly to use another AoE. I also found the inreliable knockback annoying because only a part of a spawn would be thrown back.
