EMP Pulse on Corruptors

I have a DP/Rad corruptor that I really enjoy playing and all, but I'd like to ask about EMP Pulse from the Rad set. I've never been a huge fan of nukes or powers that leave you heavily drained after using them (like Unstoppable). Is it worth taking or am I better off using my slots on something else?

Well one thing to keep in mind is that EMP Pulse only has a "light" crash. It stops your recovery for 15 seconds but doesn't actually drain you beyond the endurance used to actually cast it. So as long as your endurance is reasonably high at the time of casting it's not to difficult to fight through the crash.

/this especially if you hit conserve power and/or have an end drain (mu mastery is actually VERY handy with this)

For an SO build I'd probably do:
1 Acc, 1-2 Hold, 2-3 Recharge

For an IO build I'd probably do a full Lockdown set for the ranged defense bonus but depending on the rest of your build a different set and/or frankenslotting might work better.

4 Basilisk's Gaze (+1.25 ranged def, +7.5 rech). Pick and chose whichever pieces will let you cap hitchance against +3 or +4 enemies.
