Good ol' rad/sonic defender.

The builds above are speed/leaping, but I'd mention I really like hoverfighting on rad; hover & evasive manuevers & accelerate metab makes for some really good hover speeds, and if you combine this with capped ranged defence, you can rain down from above with impunity.

Regarding ST damage, there are many in the school of skipping Shout due to the long animation time, and use proc'ed out Screech to increase DPS. Proc'ed Dominate in Psychic mastery can also hit hard. But, I found the attack chains using those to be awkward, and not to mention Screech/Dominate can't be used at lower levels, and I do exemplared content with my rad/son a lot. So I like my simple ol' shriek-scream-shriek-shout ST chain, works good at all levels and takes down AVs & GMs just fine solo.

I did Soul Mastery because I really like Power Boost -- it turns radiant aura from an OK heal to a good heal. Rad is a very debuffy-focused set but sometimes when you or a teammate is in the red, your debuffs don't mean much anymore and a boosted heal can save you/them from the brink. PB also boosts the -def / -tohit of rad infection.

Also worth mentioning, I did a lot of experiments on the test server on incarnates and had the following discoveries--

-Reactive Radial Interface (the extra damage) ended up being better than Reactive Core (more -res) in Pylon testing. Diminishing returns on -res, methinks.

-The drone Lore pets are great as a rad flyer, they survive better as they don't charge like melee Lore pets and do -regen to stack with lingering radiation on AVs/GMs.

Here's my build:

@nebber Definitely has the right idea!

For sonic, you want some type of proccy "big punch," and Dominate or another proccy hold is a great way to leverage the stacking resist debuffs you are throwing out.

We had a really great discussion with a few interesting builds linked here in this thread:

Elia87 · May 23, 2021

So in the end which one of the builds should I pick? I quite like to solo GMs and AVs and high lvl content..i am not interested that much to exemp down..

So confused x.x

I am partial to my own build, but @beradical's build in that thread is similar and should be able to accomplish AV/GM soloing feats as well.

After a certain point, it comes down to personal preference. It is the character you are playing, after all! Some people really want an actual travel power - my build here does not have one. If you don't care at all about exemping, you might be more inclined to drop radiation infection, though it does come a bit in handy for AV/GM soloing.

Here is my build for reference:

Thank you! Actually i love the debuffs of radiation, i don't mind not having a travel power since there is p2w stuff..and the attack chain is as described?

Dominate》shriek》shout》shriek?

Onlyasandwich · May 23, 2021

Dominate is the closer. Otherwise just spam the other stuff as it's up.

You want dominate to benefit from all the -res possible, so set it up with the others first.

my first 50 on live was a rad/rad and have levelled multiple variations so with that in mind....

Consider Pain/Sonic. 1 of my 2 favorite defenders for end game. (The other is a stormy)

Not an expert on defenders powers..pain never heard before, no idea on how it plays. Working on getting my rad/sonic def incarnates and IOs out..so far i love the debuffs i bring to the parties. Will try to solo once i finish the build

Pain Domination was created as a dark mirror of Empathy available to Masterminds and Corruptors before Going Rogue, in response to requests to proliferate Empathy.

The first two powers are copies (AoE heal, single target heal), then, in the order that the powers show up in Pain:

Share Pain is an Absorb Pain clone that heals for a bit less, but doesn't damage you as much and gives you +damage when you use it;
Conduit of Pain is the ally rez, you get rewarded with a Mutation-like buff when you use it so make sure to let your teammates die frequently;
Enforced Morale is a Clear Mind clone that includes a non-stackable +5% recharge and damages the target if their health is over 90% ("the beatings shall continue until morale improves!");
Soothing Aura replaced Regeneration Aura a few tiers earlier, it's a heal-over-time toggle instead of a +regen click that's... useful but meh;
World of Pain was the "replacement" for Fortitude: a PBAoE that also affects you, but is resistance instead of defense and has lower values for +tohit and +dam;
Anguishing Cry replaces Recovery Aura: no +recovery, instead you get a PBAoE -def -res click debuff;
Painbringer keeps the +regen and +recovery but swaps the +recharge out for +damage from Adrenalin Boost.

Despite the "copy-and-tweak" nature of how it was from Empathy, except for the resistance shield being PBAoE and needing slotting to be perma it plays more like Thermal: the whole team ends up with +res(all) and some +dam, one person gets a lot of +dam, and it has a res/def debuff on a long recharge (albeit PBAoE instead of ranged).

Pain plays fast but generally isn't clicky. It doesn't have all the slow "setup" issues that some sets have. (i'm looking at you Rad toggles).

Lots of buffs and heals (pbaoe heal and single target). A healing aura that doesn't detoggle if you get mezzed. a pbaoe enemy debuff. pbaoe team buff. a nice combat rez. It likes to play in melee and with a res armor it holds up reasonably well. nice damage boost for the team and a single teammate "murder buff" (+dam, +to hit ,+regen). A "clear mind" type buff that does more than just that. I feel like it's what empathy should have been.

pair it with sonic for the stacking -res debuff on baddies. it's a little engine that drives teams. I'm frequently the only support toon on 8 man teams and we roll.

IMHO it's quietly a little OP...not much...just enough to make it really fun. 🙂 Your mileage may vary.
