Too sub-optimal? Critique my Psi/Rad build

[lightpunch]

Hi folks,

 

I'd wanted Psionic Melee in CoH forever, so when I came back for Homecoming and here it was, I had to give it a chance, even though I'd heard the various concerns about it. Right now, this character is ... fine. A little squishy, but on a team she can pseudo tank and hold aggro pretty well thanks to Radiation Therapy and Particle Shielding. Psy melee is noticeably more fun now that I have GPB, but I'm withholding judgment on the whole until I have Mass Levitate picked and slotted.

 

For concept, she's a cold, chemically-enhanced enforcer of Mother Mayhem's, allowed to keep her free will in exchange for doing MM's dirty work. I went with Radiation over other possible sets (WP, SR, Energy, etc.), because: 1) I love radiation sets, they almost never let me down, 2) the others bore me to varying degrees (WP was great on my unkillable dark/WP on live, but unkillability was what made her interesting, she was otherwise kind of a snooze), and 3) I liked the damage (Ground Zero), +DMG, and +Rech potential of the set. And plus Rad takes on the pink/purplish hues of psychic powers well.

 

Here's the build I just whipped up. It's decidedly not in-line with current meta, because I basically completely ignore defense. I'm not looking to make this character my main, so I don't need her to be min-maxed, but I want her to be fun and take advantage of what her primary and secondary do best. You'll also see I took Concealment -- I just need to try out Misdirection for myself, because I keep getting tempted by it and think it could be fun to have while soloing. Misdirection -->Mass Levitate --> Ground Zero --> Mass Levitate seems like a fun sequence.

 

Anyway, lemme know what you think, tear it apart if you think it's truly trash. Thanks in advance for any and all feedback!

I have a fire/rad I think the two best things to do with the secondary is try to get to 45+% S/L defense  s/l resistance 75% and as much regen and recharge you can add to the build as possible
