SO.. It seems it is now time for me to try the pvp world of CoH and was wondering how well Rad/Sonic will do? Seems great, has all the debuffs needed to kick some ... I really solo don't much in pvp, mostly paired up with friends. What do you guys/gals think?

roll it a corr, defenders in pvp are pretty pointless.

also, don't pvp. its not fun and too broken be fun anytime soon.

Rad/sonic works great as an offensive character in pvp.

There's a bit of a caveat to this:

Rad/Sonic is great in arena duels or situations where you only have ONE opponent.

I've found that in open zone PvP Rad/Sonic isn't as good, due to the fact that anyone your toggles aren't on is going to be able to shut them off with little to no effort. And without your debuff toggles you are basically just a really squishy, low damage sonic blaster.

Not trying to discourage you from playing it, just thought you should be aware of the major drawback to using a character who relies heavily on offensive toggle powers.

Yes. All pvp advice I have is given mostly from an arena standpoint. It will definitely have a harder time in zone pvp.
