What does Beam Rifle pair up well with?

I think Beam/Dev/Mace would be kinda nice. One Gun Drone with three Spiderling PPP pets will help with additional damage. Once you get your lore pets you will kinda be like a MM with six pets for a short time.

I like the idea of Beam/Rad Corr personally. Not only does it fit thematically (what other energy source could actually power such an inefficient design), but it's mostly toggles and fire and forget abilities, and solid ones at that. Fairly solid.

A Mecha is what you build when you want to show just how vastly superior your technology is to the opponent's. Simply to tell them that, yes, we did just tear up your conventional military with a giant humanoid target of a robot, and you were powerless to stop us. It's a scare tactic.|

Of course, what we get in CoH is powered armor in the shape of Mecha. Now human-sized humanoid robots is a whole other thing. That could actually be useful in a conventional army. More lifting strength, more carrying capacity, ability to carry heavy weapons easily, and still be able to go anywhere a human could, and even drive vehicles. And be painted hotrod red. To draw fire from the camo-wearing normal soldiers.
Beam/Rad does sound like it could be fun, and I don't have a decent Corruptor.

For Blasters; Devices (no Build-Up), Energy (Boost Range, Power Boost), or Ice. Beam Rifle does excellent damage to most mob types, but has very little damage mitigation so that has to come from your secondary powerset. Disintegration Spread is a powerful AoE effect, but only the sniper attack guarentees that the Disintegration Effect will spread.
Corruptors and Defenders; You could really pick any powerset. Time would be very good since it gives Beam Rifle's Disintegration time to work.

I've enjoyed my Beam/Time Corr.
