Beam Rifle & Cold Domination - Which AT?

[TungstenShark]

I am envisioning a nasty ranged (hover) debuffer for hard single targets like AVs and this seems a great combo. Does anyone have experience with this combo (or just strong opinions) and want to weigh-in on whether they feel a Defender or Corruptor is a stronger AT to run it on? And anyone that wants to share a build is encouraged to do so to give me a starting point. 🙂

Cold has better values on a defender (with the exception of Sleet), but either is very good. I've got a Cold/Beam defender that's an absolute beast. Beam adds more -regen and -resist to what Cold already has. It can stack 725% -regen and 50%/45% -resist (80%/69% when Heat Loss is up). Don't skip the T1 on a corruptor, since it's one of the -regen powers.

[Without_Pause]

Defender has the stronger debuff values so I would go Defender.
