Rad/Rad Build

[Yournameonrice]

I am helping a friend build out his 50 Rad/Rad Def (Radiation Emission/Radiation Blast) .  He's just learning about IO sets and even though I have had a few lower lvl Defs , I've never taken one to 50.   Even after perusing the Defender forums for several days, I am still kinda lost.  Anyone have a not-necessarily insanely priced build they would share to help me figure out what to aim for?

I've put this together for your friend. Tried to keep it budget friendly - no purple sets or crazy expensive IOs were used except for the Gladiator IO (leave your friend's global handle in this thread and I'll make sure to e-mail him that IO).

 

Other than that, it's a solid build. He'll get enough recharge to make both Hasten and Accelerate Metabolism permanent (make sure he uses Electron Haze every now and then to proc the +recharge boost) and then added in enough defenses so he can dodge some nasty hits.

 

Let me know if you have any questions.

Wow many thanks Falsey!  This looks good for a starting build for him.  The +RCH proc you mentioned in Electron Haze wasn't actually there in Mid's.  There was a empty slot in that power so I am assuming you meant to put the Force Feedback proc in there. 

 

And thanks but no worries on the Gladiator proc, I have plenty of inf to help him out plus I am teaching him some ways to make more on the AH.  But nonetheless a very kind offer indeed. 

 

And once he gets on the inf train I can use this build to help with a very expensive version with all the bells and whistles now that I know what to aim for.  Thanks again!

[Crowcus Pocus]

We might be using different versiona of mids. But yes, it's FF+rech. Enjoy!

[Corruptsmurf]

I realize this is now a 3+ year old topic, but if you are still on, I would love to hear your thoughts on levelling and progression.  I am following your build (very detailed, thank you!!!), and I've started to get merits and such.  Don't know if I should just push through and power level or start to spend these, and what the best choices are to spend merits / influence on as I level.

 

Thanks again.
