Duo combo suggestions

I recently got a friend to start playing CoH (on a freem account- old trial I guess), and they rolled an Energy Blast/Rad Emission Corruptor, and I was wanting to roll something to play with them.

I've been sitting on the character creation screen for.... I think 30-40 minutes at this point, going through all different things in my head, and I think I've some how made negative progress! At first I was thinking only Defenders/Corruptors so I could focus on buffing them (so they could feel more awesome, and thus be more likely to stay ), but, now I'm not sure what to make!

I can't for the life of me come up with something that'd work well with a /Rad Corr (even if they sort of neglect their secondary at this point!), without coming off as showing them up (like, say, a Scrapper or Blaster would).

Any suggestions?

Maybe a Tanker or Mastermind if you don't want to show them up.

The tanker would be a good meat shield.
The mastermind wouldn't seem very powerful until later on.

Have you thought of making also something/rad corruptor or rad/something defender? Two rads combine great.

Son/son corruptor. Sonic's subtle effects will make your friend's powers stand out a lot by comparison.

Exactly what I was going to say. /Rad + 6 pets = good times. Corruptors love meat shields. Any -Res based brute would do well too, maybe Energy/Dark, or Fire/Fire?

Also, Crab. Tankage, at least somewhat, and debuffs to stack with /Rad.

If you're trying to support them, I'd agree, a tank, or barring that a Def.

Therm, FF, Cold, or Sonic/Sonic would be my suggestion. Take your pick from those primaries. All four have advantages, and some disadvantages, so pick whichever you like well enough to keep up with.

That also goes for any Soldier of Arachnos (If your friend wants to play Red Side).

Having double leadership toggles (Triple if he gets them) is a sure-fire way to make him feel like a boss.

He'll be rollin...Everyone gonna be hatin...
