Probably Traps/Sonic or Rad/Sonic. Traps is a little bit tougher due to having built in mez protection but Rad is slightly stronger set overall.|

Kinetics will help you do the most damage with Fulcrum Shift. You can potentially damage-cap yourself. Don't expect to out-damage a Blaster or Scrapper though.|

The secondary powerset doesn't matter as much. Assault Rifle has more AoE powers than the other sets. Sonic debuffs resistances as you do damage. It just depends on if you want single-target or AoE damage, or a bit of both.

Have you looked into Dominators? They are all about control and damage.
For AoE, i would suggest Archery over Assault Rifle.
Fistful of Arrows for a short cone, the selling point is Rain of Arrows w/ Explosive Arrow combo.... with a high recharge and debuffing from primary, you can do this set rather fast.... Full Auto is a pretty tight cone to be considered as AoE
I have never made a defender in all the years I've played so I am on board with this thread. If anyone can speak about the PvE and especially PvP benefits of a defender over a corruptor I would like to hear your opinions. I've had a few corruptors and I have always been sold on a higher base hp, damage, and scourge. With the semi recent buff to solo defenders and me wanting to try something new I figured I try to see the good sides of them.

My Kinetics/Ice is pretty amazing. Once she gets rolling, it feels like I'm sitting behind a Blaster with Buffs. With Frost Breath, Ice Storm and Blizzard, you can do some significant AoE if you get an immobilize or slot for slow.

I'll agree with Dante, Ice is a very nice set for damage and buffs. While I haven't played a Kin/Ice I do have a very awesome Kin/Sonic 
If you don't mind hover blasting you can easily soft cap Smash/Lethal and Ranged and hover blast just outside of mob melee range but just close enough to be able to heal your self when you do eventually get kit. I would definently be better damage than Sonic on an AoE Scale but Sonic is better on the single target scale that the AoE scale. One plug for sonic is I like it better against AVs and EBs cause -regen and -res are a deadly combo.

I can speak on the pvp stuff. In pvp, defenders and corruptors actually have the exact same base damage. Defenders will end up doing more damage due to better +dam, -def, and -res and vigilance if they're solo. Corruptors will do more damage when the target is low thanks to scourge, so they're still better at tail end spike damage to grab kills and take people by surprise.|

The defensive differences between them are pretty minor. Corruptors have slightly more hit points, while defenders have stronger heals for themselves and teammates. The difference between their defensive debuffs (-damage, -to hit) is lessened because of diminishing returns.
so i recently fell in love with defenders. My favorite thing to do in game is to control and debuff, but lately ive been bored with the control powersets. i want to know:
What is the highest damaging solo build for a defender?
Is there a defender build that can farm?
what are the best PvP fenders (other than kin/elec and cold/dark)
what is the best pvp blast set for fenders?
Best AOE blast set for defenders?
i know its a lot but i was curious and wanted to know
thank you very much all
