Thanks for the advice. I am enjoying my EM/Rad brute but while farming with a few folk they both had nothing but good things to say about Rad melee mostly due to the self heal and both said that Bio Armor is crazy at survivability. I'll look into that Croax thread and fiddle. I haven't started playing the Rad/Bio toon yet I've been endgaming my main with a lot of Hami raids and iTrials.
