Dangers_Edge

Strange I was able to hunt in PI when I turned 39 as long as I stayed to the docks with lvl 41-42 nemesis...... Endurance was always a problem but I was able to manage... I basicly lived out of a dumpster in PI from lvl 39 - 50 and soloed a good bit of the 40's

I think most people take EF early because it reduces the amount of damage you take form a hit as well as increasing the amount you dish out. Having attacks is vital if using EF. Without the attacks you are only getting half of its value. EF is a huge endurance drain and an awesome power. I didn't take it until 22 so that I would have stamina and my primary attacks to take full advantage of its potential.

I must say that I have enjoyed playing my Rad/dark Defender over any other character to date. Currently I am at lvl 41. I do not think Dark Blast has any bad abilities at all, unlike some of the other secondaries. My build differs from many here as I do not have hasten. I don't feel it is needed because by the time I run through a round of attacks there is always something to shoot. Did I fail to mention that rad/dark kicks butt? I know alot of you will look and say that my build stinks cause I wont have blackstar till lvl 44 and no hasten. If you go without a power for 38 lvls what is the big deal about a few more? EM pulse is an awesome power!!! I spend about an even amount of time soloing and teaming. I think the coolest thing about rad/dark is the ability do a bit of everything. Def/Con/Blst.

Oh great post, but now there are gonna be tons of RAD/DARKS around. AS to your choice of powers I really don't think you can go wrong with any of the powers in either set except fallout. Boxing, Jumping Kick, toughness and choking cloud make for an interesting alternative to a normal scrapper......
