Soloing AV's/(GM's) Rad/Son

Hey!

I am thinking of gaming a Rad/Sonic Defender, for soloing AV's and possibly GM's. I am not sure how easily or hardly this is done but I want to give it a try. I made a build and I have no experience in neither soloing AV's/GM's nor in the sets in particular. I want feedback, so please! And keep my goals in mind!

I made a couple minor changes for a very slightly different build. Essentially, I was able to boost endurance recovery by .17/sec. On balance, though, it didn't seem worth it.

I like this build.

At first glance it looks fine, but without mids (had to reformat my hard drive recently). I am not really able to check it out precisely. My Old Rad/Son solod GMs very easily. The key is Ranged defense and enough recharge to keep LR up at all times. I used the attack chain of Shriek Scream Shriek Dominate.

I would drop the fighting pool and pick up Hover and Fly. 2 slot sephyr in each to free up slots and one more power choice. Not to mention Fighting is a big end drain you really dont need. Soloing GMs with a rad/sonic is more about endurance then anything. If you can survive and not run out of end chances are you will get there eventually.

Assuming this is an end game build, everything looks nice. Except maybe for that Titanium Coating on Tough. You can probably move that slot somewhere else as I don't see any reason for running Tough while having capped ranged defense and hover. A 6th slot on Shriek or AM are the most obvious choices to me.

And it kinda pains me seeing that numi proc on Radiant Aura. You could lose the love for those 3,75% ranged defense and go with 5 Doc Wounds (+5% rech) and move the numi proc to Health.

But all in all, the build should work just fine as it is. "Just fine" being an understatement.
