2. Get the Envenomed Dagger temp power. Great damage, good -Regen.
3. Get as much range defense as possible, some sort of fly (hover, jetpack, whatever). Don't be limited to 2 dimensions when you need range.
4. Pack as much +Damage as you can.
5. Inspirations -- Reds, Purples, Breakfrees.
6. Knockback protection IO.
ok, thanks! this is my first corruptor... trying to make it a good one

Oh, and cold has -regen so I'm not as worried with the dps.

The scrapper forum formula for killing AVs without using any temp powers or inspirations:
1) Softcapped defenses
2) A heal of some form to make up for the times when softcapped defenses fail.
3) Enough endurance modification to fight non-stop.
4) A good attack chain.
Since you have -regen you're already well on your way.

Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.

Unlimited endurance from heat loss too.

Yeah, I reeeeaaaally doubt a Cold Corruptor is going to be soloing GMs. AVs maybe, but not the tougher ones.
Yeah, I have a Sonic/Cold that can solo some AV's, but have never tried a GM with it. I doubt it can take them down. My Fire/Rad fits the role of AV/GM soloing much better.

What is it about rad's that makes them superior to colds vs GMs?

Cold has benumb, sleet, heat loss to debuff AV/GMs. Arctic fog to provide some defense. Rest is useless against them one on one for the most part. Benumb can miss, heat loss can miss.|

Rad has LR, EV, and RI. 2 can't miss, and LR is easier to perma than benumb for 2 reasons; AM and better up/down time ratio. Rad has AM to buff self, and a built in heal for when needed.
If heat loss is needed for endurance, one miss will most likely kill you, a missed LR won't. A missed benumb will let that damage debuff go off, EV won't. AM makes recharge bonuses less needed, and endurance problems less noticeable and will always affect you. Cold has to reapply benumb, heat loss, and sleet. Rad only has LR and AM, and AM is on a longer wait time to recast, so isn't as bad. Rad is just more reliable and takes less time away from dishing out your max DPS.

Not to mention the main advantage Rad has over Cold: less interruptions in the attack chain.

Also, Radiant Aura is nice to have when you actually take some damage.
