Rad/FA Build

[Jander]

I've played SS/FA & Spines/FA, but wow the Rad/FA has been so much fun!

I'd love to hear some feedback from players who know the set better and see what changes you could suggest for me. I know there's plenty of room for some tweaking to get my fire defense up a bit more, but im really sure where I want to pull away from to do so.

Thanks in advance!

So I tried to open your build to take a look at it and every time I try to open someone's build, I get this weird error and it's getting aggravating.  Does any one have any clues as to what I'm doing wrong?

I built one of these with a custom build. Not only does it rock at fire farms, but last night I thought ok it out on the town for a couple TF's (Yin/Numina) and it absolutely crushed both of those TF's. I was hesitant about performance expectations regarding how it would perform given that I had built it for fire farming, but I found with the defense buff from the p2w vendor and my build I was over softcapped to the s/l/f/c defenses. So I realized without the buff my defenses were reasonably high in their own right.

 

Despite not having a travel power aside of a vendor purchased jetpack, I think the character might find enjoyment outside of the AE as well.

 

Rad/FA can definitely be a strong character.
