Traps/Rad? Sound right?

So, loving my Arch/TA Corr, i was thinking about trying Traps out. But this time, as a defender since i dont have one at 50 yet. I thought of /rad for my secondary, since it has nice debuffs, and AOEs, a awesome snipe, and the boom, i love the boom.. :P

One thing i worry is about is, redraw? how bad would that be going from traps, to rad, then back to traps?

Since /rad isnt very damage heavy, i wont be able to solo, well atleast not very good. I find teams hard to find sometimes. So you think a better damaged class will be better? but at 50, ill be TF/Trial all the time, so i try look towards what i can do at 50, and be like, i can pwn that..

Then slotting will be an issue for me for Traps considering it will be my first Traps CHaracter ever. Defender at that. I know how to slot /rad, common sense i think. Perhaps if anyone has a Trap/Rad, or even just a Trap Def, posting a build would help out so much.

ATM, im looking to get out of tanks/brutes/scraps, since i have atleast 2-3 50s of each AT. Time for a change, like the Corrupter, which was my first after 3 years + of this game. So i figure, lets try a defender.

There is no redraw, since traps doesn't have a weapon for you to draw. The combo should work fine for you. Radiation doesn't have very high single target damage, but it does good area damage. Once you get a few powers, you should be able to set your difficulty to something like -1X4 with bosses turned off and be good to go. I'm sure you could do much higher than that too.

Aight cool, ty. I wasnt sure about the redraw if it had anything or not..

What powers in Traps are skippable?

time bomb is prolly one of the only ones that i would consider optional, web grenade is alright, but as a defender you get the option to skip it (i would i hate web nade cause its a single target power, but thats personal opinion lol)

other than that i think most of the other powers in traps are just too good to not take lol

Time Bomb is skippable. Everything else you take. Period.
