Ice should also be easy to make bright white. Not sure you could explain some of the animations though. I assume since /sonic seems to be out /ice is out due to the animations. Of the three, I would say /rad and /psy would be the better ones. /rad would likely get an edge just because it has the better AoEs, offers one thing Dark lacks in debuffs(-def), and doesn't have much mitigation itself, but Dark has enough to cover it. /psy will have better ST damage, so it will be easier to solo with outside of facing something that resist /psy. When things do, they really do.
I would go Dark/Rad. Rad does have -def which Dark miasma does not (of all things that it does have). Rad blast has one good single target damage power in cosmic burst, which is also a stun to stack with auto-hit Howling Twilight on tougher targets. Despite that, Rad blast has neutrino bolt which has amazing recharge, so the dps isn't bad, and is a good candidate for Ranged Damage procs. X-ray beam isn't a bad power, it doesn't recharge as fast as neutrino bolt, and it looks cool. Neutrino, X-ray, Neutrino, Cosmic Burst isn't a bad attack chain. The endurance cost is pretty low.
Irradiate, Neutron bomb, and Atomic Blast are your AoE attacks. The nuke has a good secondary effect if the target survives the nuclear blast.
Rad blast in general with Irradiate the PbAoE attack is fine since Dark miasma has so many debuffs to set you up for wherever your defender wants to attack from.

HelinCarnate:OMG it is so terrible. I have the option to take 3 more powers but no additional slots. Boo F'ing hoo.
Dark/Rad sounds fun. Their guys can't hit because of your primary, your guys can't miss because of your secondary.

Dark/Rad it is! Thank you all.
My Dark/Rad Defender controls the powers of light and darkness, and did so before power customisation come to think of it.
I highly recommend the combo. Rad provides pretty much the one debuff that Dark doesn't, and Dark give you the safety to get up close and mass-Irradiate the bad guys with impunity.
Thinking about making a concept character who controls the powers of light and darkness. Using dark/ as the primary and one of the secondaries re-colored to a bright white. Elec, psy, and rad all give the visual effect I want. Looking for opinions on which is the best. PvE only, mostly on teams but I wouldn't mind being able to solo. Thanks!
