Sonic/Rad Corrupter build help

[TG BrainFog]

Hi folks. I have a friend that is starting the game right now. She's not only never played CoH before, but never played an MMO (or likely any PC game) before, either. She's been looking for some build advice from me, as I've been playing the game for a long time. Unfortunately I am not great with figuring out builds, and I tend to seek out existing builds for the combination I'm running, and make a few tweaks here and there. I want to be able to offer some help, but I'm not really up to the task. 

 

I was hoping that someone with a better brain for such things might be willing to help me help her. She's playing a Sonic attack/Rad corrupter. She has a lot of trouble with navigation, so I would like to work in the flight pool for her, and I think stealth of some kind is probably a good idea (she tends to kind of bump into mobs that she can't see until it's too late). Also, her awareness when it comes to knockback isn't the greatest. So either working a kb to kd enh in or skipping shockwave entirely would be a good idea. 

 

At the moment she's just playing the character with her boyfriend and I, but we will eventually be working into running some of the lower TFs and stuff when it seems she's ready for that kind of thing. We're not looking to maker her uber, we just want her to feel like she's able to contribute and that her build isn't broken. So maybe valuing the state of her endurance and survivability over damage output would make sense for her. 

 

I would really appreciate any help you could offer. She has a lot of health problems, and having something that she can do with friends and other helpful people is kind of a big deal for her. Thank you in advance.

I would do something like this. I tried to use mostly lvl 50 basic IOs as I assume people are poor until 50. I did slot in the endurance helping IOs in health and stamina (let me know if you need money for those). I would also slot the LoTGs absolutely last. If money is not a problem I will make a completely different build for her.

 

I have some health problems too and so I hope she is able to make it out of the land of the unwell soon.

I really appreciate that. I think this is probably a really good place to start with her, while she's leveling along the way. All of the sets and stuff can get pretty confusing, especially with her being so new to the game. Long term, I intend to help with influence and such to help her flesh things out some. If you do have the inclination, a build with sets worked in would be appreciated. No rush or anything, she's still in the late teens on the build atm. I intend to help her with a respec and slotting some base IOs once we make our way to 22. 

 

Thanks!
