A RAD/PSI defender could potentially make a pretty good "Offender". It's a damage type that's not resisted very much and in the early game, there are a few groups that are actually vulnerable to Psi damage.

Scotch Bonnet Girl - L50 - Fire Aura/Fire Melee/Pyre Mastery Tanker

I would second ron there. I made an Emp/Psy and he's working out rather well as a blaster that heals. But I now wish I would have gone with rad/psy. Psy is perfect for a defender/blaster since so few have resistance, and the range and acc is great and end use is fine. Mine is almost 21 and he has leveled faster than anything I have right now. But I think now that rad would be a better choice for the primary. It has more "me" powers versus "them" and the debuffs will help once you hit the 20's. And getting AM early and having it recharge as fast as it does will be awesome for soloing. Definitely rad/psy and it will work well.
Oh, and welcome to the site!! I'll try and post a build later.

The hard part about choosing and Empathy/anything and trying to be a "Offender (blaster)" is that everyone will see the Empathy and expect you to be healing. Most of my defenders that are empathy don't have many attacks because I am taking all the healing powers.
I love my Rad/Rad defender. I would think that a Rad/Psi would be a great combo. The Radiation DeBuffs help a lot when you are running solo or on a team. And without the Empathy on there, people don't get as mad when you are running around blasting instead of healing.

Dont rub it in swiss, lol. Like I said, I decided rad was better for the primary for the "Offender" role (like that designation, btw). Oops. And my teaming window says a blaster that heals and I always let everyone know as soon as I join a team that im primarily a blaster, not a healer. They don't always listen, but I tell them anyway, lol.
Now this is interesting. I had the word descr-iption in here twice and the website took the "scr-ipt" out of it, from the middle of the word. Left the rest of the letters, but not those. Just removed the letters on it's own. Guess the word scr-ipt isn't allowed. I had to put the hyphens in to even see it here.

The great thing about a RAD Offender is that you're playing a Rad Defender the way it's intended. You're using your debuffs so that the enemies do less damage and you do more. Works out well.
Sonic might not be a bad secondary for that either. Rad/Sonic. Debuff with Rad, Debuff more with Sonic Attacks.

The problem I would have with sonic is it has so little to effect you.My whole concept for this one is that I can blast and then heal/buff myself. But i have realized the long wait for RA's is annoying. Rad's one heal effects you and AM for recovery comes very early and recharges relatively fast. Combine that with debuffing the enemies to enhance your super-slotted attacks and it would be ideal.
