Dual Blades/ Radiation Armor build help

[Ashtaroth]

So my GF is playing and she has decided she loves her DB/RA Brute.  She/we could use a decent build for it please and thank you.

 

Only request is that it has flight as in hover and fly.

[Ashtaroth]

lol either it has stumped the experts, or it is truly the worst possible combo.

[Cutter]

Not an expert by any means, but I'll take a stab (hah!) at it for you. As posted here, at the highest end of performance you want to look at reducing down to 4 DB attacks, being Blinding Feint into Ablating Strike > Vengeful Slice > Sweeping Strike (the Attack Vitals combo). Dunno what it takes to get there in terms of recharge tho - which is why this build has all the attacks.

It's not that you stumped the experts. This is the way of the forum nowadays. Seems like everyone now talks only for damage numbers or dot numbers, numbers in general :P And noobs like us will have to create random builds with hopes and dreams that they will do their work into the battlefield. For example.....-->

My WM / Rad build is a few spots down, some of that may be useful in terms of what to go for. 

 

From my observations on Rad I'd move the Achilles Heel into Ground Zero as well, it's not as useful in a toggle. The Perfect Zinger proc actually seems (according to Mids) to be worse than the others (I thought all were equal). Mine is slotted with Eradication, Sciroccos Dervish, Lady Grey, Achilles Heel and Shield Breaker procs, plus one Acc IO. That means you're pretty sure to hit every enemy with all the procs, and the Toxic DoT (and all your nasty follow ups) will have the Res debuff. I love my mini-nuke. Bear in mind that there have been rumblings on how Procs interact with long-recharge powers but no details other than the powers guy going "I must look at that". 

 

In terms of building as you level Attuned IOs are obviously your friend here. I started with Procs 1st, then 6 Oblits in my PBAOEs since they give you everything you want, then 4 Kinetics Combats in single attacks, then 4 slotting your sets of choice into the Armour toggles. One-slot wonders (the uniques & LOTG) when you've finshed some TF and are feeling flush. 

 

My totals ended up close to Cutters (slightly stronger Lethal / Smashing res & defense at the cost of Fire & Cold) so overall his is a very good guide towards some shape of a build to aim for.

Thank you all so very much for the info and insight...very helpful.
