You people saying you need to put slows in LR are nuts. That power has a really silly long recharge, so it needs 2 acc (or 3), 3 recharge redux. It's a very powerful slow right out of the box, it doesn't need extra but if you find you have spare slots it can't hurt to put a slow in.

If I was only ever going to team with said stone tank, here is how I would do it. If you ever team with others, take increase density instead of inertial reduction. If you ever want to PvP, dump fire breath and jiggle things about (and by that I mean powers )

Just a couple of things:

Lingering radiation's slow is very strong as is. Slot 2 acc and 3 recharge.
AM: 3 recharge and 3 endmod is well worth it
Proton Volley: If you're intent on using this, 2 acc, 3 dam, 1 interrupt is good
Don't bother with Health since you have an OK heal
Maneuvers and Tactics are both end heavy. 2 endredux in each is easiliy enough. Also, I'd personally take assault instead of maneuvers but it's your call. I'd be tempted to ditch both and take something else.
If you can take Aim, then slot EMP with 3 Endmod (for PvP with powerbuildup) or 3 hold and 3 recharge.
Do you really want Neutron Bomb? It may look cool but it does horrible damage, has a huge end cost and pants animation time. I'd only consider getting it if you were going all out on the AoEs.


If you can shuffle things about, it might be worth looking at getting the leaping pool powers, for acrobatics. It's nice to be immune to knockback, and the little bit of hold protection helps. Combat jump is a great power too. Hasten is good as it brings AM up faster.

My Ice/Dark is a troller,
My sonic/sonic is... I don't know what he is but it's not much
My fire/kin is insane

I just got this myself and DAYAM! it makes a huge difference to the way I play. Now it's non stop full on megablasting.

It's so much fun I'm forgetting to stop to SB people

Well well well! Rad/rad is a lot of fun, with every new power bringing something totally new to the way you play.

Must have (in order of total awesomeness): Radiation Infection, Enervating Field, Lingering Radiation, Accelerate Metabolism, Radiant Aura, Cosmic Burst, EMP

The rest is kinda open to debate but if you pick the above and slot them well you'll do good as a defender. The real strength of a rad starts to show when you're fighting particularly hard bad guys, like mobs a way above your level or AVs

Awesome game! I played it waaaay too much

Damn right they should put them in! How much effort can it take eh?

Oh I never said that, I just said that my build is gimpy

yay! Irradiator's gimpy build ftw!

Silly Imag, your weapons cannot harm me!

Honestly, I predict about 3 weeks until you reactivate your account

only 1 or 2 are needed, with more then you start to suffer cos you have less buffers and debuffers. The great thing is that stalkers with lots of buffs on tank pretty well as the damage they do allows them to grab the aggro.

Tried it in mass PvP, with a couple of stalkers as the damage dealers. We OMGWTFPWND the heroes

The only start to come into their own from 20+. That's quite a long wait really.

The really great maneuverbility comes from the combat jumping, it's got some serious air contol. You'll also miss the immob protection. And knockback will be a major pain in the [censored]. Keep the leaping pool!

what did I miss?

He's just being a grumpy guts. It's just that your slotting is a bit whack. I can't really help more than that, I'm too drunken right now

Irradiator signing up!

That is teh suck! I've only just started tmeaing up with you and you're an awesome dude, shame you have to go so soon. All the best tho.

I'm afriad this is pretty symptomatic of the way zone PvP is. It's a game of kill the squishies until there are no squishies left, then kill the hard targets if you can.

I think you need to read the thread again, carefully

Try taking elite bosses solo without darkest night. Then try it with.

You will learn to love it, deviant!

Aye, true, it's good for duels I had a quick one against an elec/elec the other day and I wasn't shockingly bad even with my un-optimised build. I think I'll be making a duel build, with the snipe. I love the sound it makes

I think you've got some dodgy slotting there. More than 3 slots of a particular type in a power is a waste due to ED. Also, no darkest night? You crazy foo!
The best tools in dark dark are Darkest Night (3 tohit debuff, 2 endredux) , Tar Patch (3 recharge), Fearsome Stare (2acc 3 fear duration), Tenebrous Tentacles and Night Fall (2 acc, 3 damage), Shadow Fall (3 damres 1 or 2 endredux), the heal (3acc 3 heal, you really don't want it it miss) and dark servant (3 tohit debuff). Petrifying Gaze is OK (2 acc, 3 hold).

That should fill up your build pretty well I think. Here's what I plan to do with mine if I ever get him futher than where he is now, at 10
