Zemius Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 Have a character concept I'd like to implement, but not sure which route to take. I know I want StJ for sure since it is a fast Fury builder, but am divided on the secondary. On the fence between Energy or Rad, any suggestions?
Erratic1 Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 What are you trying to get out of the secondary and what is the concept?

Both fit my aesthetic theme, but performance wise I want something sturdy with not many holes to patch up. I don't see many /Energy brutes so that has me worried a bit, but a do see a lot of /Rad guys running around.
Erratic1 Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 What is the theme? Radiation is a very good, potentially too good powerset with not downsides. If having pulses of energy orbit you like in a diagram (inaccurate) of an atom doesn't bother you, it should work wonderfully. I have not played Energy Aura since live, but I had no complaints. Certainly it is less flashy than Radiation.

Oh, how the times have changed. That being said, my Tech oriented relic of the Cold War is a Giant Cybernetic, Titan-Weapon wielding Electric Armor Brute.

Shoulung Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 Pretty sure radiation is a resistance based armor versus energy which is defense based. I tend to favor resistance on brutes and tankers as they can best take advantage of it and they don’t have to worry about catastrophic defense failure while they’re the center of attention. Also, if you’re worried about fast attacks, rad also has a recharge toggle which increases with the number of enemies around, which can only help.

Energy has Entropic Aura that also increases +Recharge and is dependent on the # of mobs surrounding you as well.
