Defender Vs Corrupter
i never go soul on my corrs cuz of hiber in levi and i like to tro sharks. and scourge beats the hell out of the "damage buff" vigilance has.
either way, i wouldn't do either of those combo's, you'd be better off switching the two (dark/rad fendur and rad/dark corr) since dark blast is bad. if you're gonna go rad, go sonic.
Positron's i13 letter: We are trying to make PvP more accessible to new players, while giving experienced PvP'ers the advantage that comes with formulating tactics around the new systems we're putting in place. PvP from now on will be on our priority list. If something isn't working out, we'll be in there tweaking it and making it work, for the entire future of the product, not just Issue 13.
With Rad Emissions, corrupters are much easier to build with more HP and the ability to easily fit tactics/hiber.
Defenders however get the -40% res debuff on EF in pvp where corrupters are only 22.5.
Darkblast all around seems like a poor choice for Rad though.
Rad/Dark or corrupters can be fun though in 1 v 1's

its 40 in pvp, and its not hit by dr hard at all. and srsly wait til gr.
Duel me.
I will work on my sig pic more when I have time.
Now a friend of mine had a Rad/dark Fender. It was nasty. The double heal helps more often than not, the dark debuff just supplements the Rad debuffs nicely, so you're free to just wear them down. It only works if you know how to play it though.
If it were me doing a fender I'd take power boost, and if it was a Corr I'd take hiber, but that's just me.
The Fenders 30% buff makes for some nice damage throughout the match but just can't compare to scourge.
At the moment, I'd still do a fender... but like con said. WAIT for GR. Corrs and Fenders get now Epic/Patron pools, plus Corrs can be easier to level ;D

Dark Blast is NOT bad, especially if you factor in Procs, Rad debuffs, and other things. I have seen a couple of them in Team Arena, and they are impressive. Dark does not have as much burst as Sonic, but it is much faster with a little less damage.
In Team Arena, you will also usually have the most kills because of Gloom being DoT, which is fun =p
However, I would agree with Con in waiting for GR.

RIP PX, GMW, and the game that used to be fun.
Still playing for reasons unknown.
The thing with Defenders is you gotta forgo 1 pool to make the build. My Corrs have tactics, fitness, jump, speed and hiber or phase, fitness, jump, speed and FA. Your defender will have to skip 1 of those pools.
Thats honestly the biggest con to making a Defender in my opinion. Especially now that they get 30% dmg buff in duels.
I had been working on a fitnessless Phase, Tactics, Jump, Speed and Power Mastery Build for my Defender but I have doubts.
"One day we all may see each other elsewhere. In Tyria, in Azeroth. We may pass each other and never know it. And that's sad. But if nothing else, we'll still have Rhode Island."
Most people seem to agree that I should "wait for GR" which is probably best. So I decided just to roll both XD
I just lol'ed.

You may not get as many kill-steals on a Sonic blast defender/corr, but you'll do more for your team than a dark in team arena.
well you don't have to wait for GR cuz you can probably (i am sure) get the pools you want at lvl 50 later, but you won't be able to get all them badges is all lol.
I went soul on my dark/cold corr just because soul storm hits pretty hard in PvP. I may respec into levi though, haven't finished the build =/
I'm seriously thinking about making either a rad/dark fender or a dark/rad corr for 1 v 1 arena and some zonage. Few things i considered.
Corrs have soul storm, 120 sec base powerboost opposed to defenders 240 powerBU, corrs have soul storm. corrs have higher base hp.
Defenders have significantly better debuffs. PB has +tohit and +dmg. Also +30% dmg.
I figure corrs could do really well dmg wise, however i see fenders debuffing the hell out of pretty much anything....
Anyone have experiences relative to the subject?
