hey guys and girls
just looking for a bit of advice what to duo with my gf. we plan to duo tf's, av's and gm's together and currently she has a rad/sonic defender. i was thinking either fire/rad corr or a fire/cold corr to help smash through whatever comes our way
thoughts? advice?

many thanks

Well if she's Sonic Blast, you're definitely going to want to go Fire to burn things to the ground the fastest.

I'd probably go /cold or /kin. Rad would be a little redundant. I know no one wants to hear, but it really isn't as perfect a set as some would lead you to believe. Cold would stack more debuffs nicely, kin would stack huge dmg.

/dark would also work really well for more debuffs and some control (actually, thinking about it a little more, this is probably how I would go.)

Cold Domination is a lot of fun so it gets my vote. Fire Blast would be a good blast set. Archery could be fun as it also has a decent balance of single target and aoe attacks. and it has a stun, which you could stack with your GF's stun (if she takes it). Dropping with all of the -res being thrown around RoA looks yummy for big groups during TFs however the lethal damage could be a hinderance

And since you're starting a new duo, I vote you both go cold domination (she can keep sonic blast.). you could potentially softcap each others defenses. then just take some medicine powers (namely, aid other and stim) and you'd be set.

Fire/cold would be the better option of those two, because it complements better.
The rad will do substantial tohit debuffing from one of its toggles, but only within a limited radius from your anchor.
In addition, regardless of how well done your builds in themselves are in terms of defense, you're still likely to encounter plenty situations where your cold shields can help a lot - mobs that dish out the 'wrong' damage type, for instance.

Also the rad has 3 main debuffs, 2 of which are unfortunately toggles. Cold will add more (and also very good ones) debuffs without adding more toggles which tends to be more convenient against anything that isn't an AV.

Lastly, AM or not, Heat Loss will keep you going even if you don't put any effort in maintaining a half-decent recovery in your build, but instead focus all your slotting on defense and your overall capability to make large quantities of anything fall over quickly.

Probably Fire/Cold. The Cold Domination can take out hard targets while the Rad Emmission takes care of Area Softer targets. Between the two you'll cover all the bases.
